Hello reader. You probably know this, but I will give you the info anyway. My name is Andrea. I’m 18 years old. I’m a Carl Sandburg College student. I am also going to England in 2 months via study abroad. I will be studying British culture, history, possibly Shakespeare, and who knows what else. I have been told that I will be going, with the other foreign students, on multiple field trips during my three month stay in England.
Specifically I will be living in Canterbury, England. Which I have been told is about an hour away from Canterbury. It is, as fellow Monmouthians would understand, the Galesburg to Monmouth. Like what I did there? So do I.
Moving on. Currently, I am waiting on two dentist appointments, and my study abroad orientation. I know what you are thinking, dentist appointments? Yes. I have to have the final caps/crowns put on two root canals, and I have to have a wisdom tooth pulled. Too much information? You’re reading a blog silly. This is pretty much my personal diary, which I am oddly enough sharing with everyone, for while I’m abroad. Deal, okie dokie?
I should probably tell you a little more about my trip and what exactly I have to do to get to England. My trip costs a fortune. I won’t tell you exactly how much, because I don’t really want to think about it. I will be staying with a host family and I should also have another foreign student in the same house, a.k.a. roomie. I do not know who my host family is at the moment, but I should soon. Hopefully I will know before I get on to my airplane. That would be nice. I have been told that I can take weekend trips to place like Rome, Paris, Ireland, Spain, etc. I have also been told that the flights to these places are fairly cheap, but who knows what will happen when I get to the other side of the pond.
An interesting fact; my school surrounds a massive church. Awesome right? I thought so too, until my grandpa told me that they used to bury their dead in their church’s floors and walls. This will have to be looked into. It is not that I’m scared of the dead people, only that I’m not sure if they would like me stepping on them. Whether this is rumor or fact, I do not know, but I shall find out and report back to you, dear reader.
I have been asked to add a little more detail about myself, so I will. Let’s see, my favorite color is purple. I love history, mainly mythology and ancient history. I love studying Egyptian and Greek mythology. I am learning Spanish, and hopefully I will learn other languages as well in the future. If my English teacher saw this blog entry she would have a heart attack. Not only for the sentence fragments, most of which I know are there, but also for the fact that I am writing more than 200 words.
I am not sure what else to tell you about. So, I will stop here. I may make another entry later on, but for now. Hasta luego.
