With all the orientation programs and group activities, this is pretty much the first chance I’ve had to myself to reflect on the first week of england. In short, I’m in love. This country, especially the Bognor Regis area, is so friendly and laid back, it’s as if I’m on a vacation!
Although this place is beautiful with plenty of adventures ahead, I sit in my room listening to my country music playlist, missing the comfort and security I felt at home in Pittsburgh. I am always up for new things, but it can be scary and unsettling being a foreigner in a new country.
All of my CIRT program friends are a wonderful support group and we all get along so well. It has been awesome getting to know the students from Sweden and England who will be joining us in our 2 year world travels, and I am so anxious for them to see Penn State and experience America in the best way they possibly can.
As for my luggage, it fit through the door as well as in the “boot” of the car!! Truly, I was shocked. Both my suitcases were too heavy for regular pricing, but every girl should know that you cannot leave your shoes behind, they are simply too important!
On a side note from the study abroad corner in Bognor Regis, I certainly hope everyone abroad from PSU right now is having the time of their lives and look forward to hearing stories of our world voyages. To all who are reading, be well, stay safe, and enjoy yourselves!
Until my next blog: Peace, love, and ENGLAND! 🙂
