My name is Myles Bane.  I am a Junior at Penn State.  I’m originally from New York, but I will be studying abroad in Brighton, UK in the spring of 2011.  I’m staying in a homestay with a mother and her 11-year old daughter.  I arrive in England on January 6.  I’ve heard great things about Brighton and the University of Sussex.  I will be traveling a great deal (hopefully), but In Brighton, the night life sounds awesome, and it’s been said that they’re more easygoing than we are in America.  There are beaches, but they have pebbles as opposed to sand.  I’m really excited, granted the weather is going to be freezing (-6 degrees celsius) and the food probably won’t be as good.  Nevertheless, I’m going with an open mind and hopefully this will be an experience to remember for years to come.  I suppose that’s all for now.  Hopefully more interesting things will follow.
