Cambridge

A day at peace at one of England’s premiere universities

Cambridge and its consisting college campuses are absolutely beautiful. Students enjoy a tranquil environment ready to focus and to get on with their academics. Flore, Juliana and I, enjoyed the day by relaxing near the canal and watching people punt down the water.The student environment in Cambridge is special and so are the traditional activities in which take place. Students spent their sunday afternoon playing cricket, rugby with friends, reading outside in the short time of good weather, or inside making notes for the upcoming final examinations. It felt like a totally different student life from Westminster. I thought it would be challenging to readjust into this slower paced lifestyle from already adapting to the bustle of London.

Unfortunately my camera was stolen last week so there are no pictures of Cambridge.

Preseli Venturing in Pembrokeshire

Pembrokeshire

When living on the edge in London was just not enough

This weekend our Council Study Abroad Group kayaked, coasteered, hiked, and wandered through the lands of Wales. We stayed in a cozy Welsh adventure camp ‘Preseli Venture’ situated in the heart of Pembrokeshire. If it wasn’t cliff jumping into a blue lagoon, scrapping skin on rough coastal rocks, trekking through sheep farms baa’ing at the sheep, or rolling over in a kayak in the nice ‘warm’ water, then it was probably the good simple fun that made the weekend. We played scattergories, ‘asshole’, ‘bullshit’, pool, and even ‘pig’ with Brooke freaking the door. The delicious hot soups, the tasty breads, and the cows doing a morning hump before our kayaking trip will all be remembered. The weekend was enjoyed with fresh clean air unlike LA’s “ghetto fabulous” smog Katrina and I coincidentally recalled in scattergories. It was also a good bonding and breathing ‘non black-booger’ session away from the metropolis of London. Thanks James and Council…
