Walking around at night
In the months before flying to London I spent a lot of time thinking of where I’d be taking weekend trips. I was planning on traveling all over Europe and spending many weekends away from London. This mentality though only persisted until I actually landed in London and began to see where I would be living for the next 4 months. After this first week of means, coefficients of variation, histograms, and wandering through Central London, I’ve realized that I actually want to spend most of my weekends here. Sure, when you stand on any street it can seem like you’re stuck inside a box of soot covered brick, but it’s without a doubt the best box I have ever found myself in. London is the most exciting, colorful, and diverse place I’ve had the privilege of living in. There is so much to learn here and I can’t wait to explore it as much as possible.

I guess one of the reasons why we have to write this blog is to let parents, UT faculty members, future/present/past GLS students, and anyone else know what we’ve been doing in London, so I’ll stop thinking out loud. As for what I’ve done with my first week in London, I’ve been doing a lot of exploring with everyone and on my own (AKA going on walks through 17th century public squares narrated by Kanye West). To name a few places, we have been to Holland Park, Borough Market, Chinatown, Buckingham Palace, and Big Ben this week. I've included some photos I took, Julia said she would punch me in the throat if I said they were bad, so yeah, I tried ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
