Castle


Greetings from England!


I've finally arrived at the Queen's International Study Centre - Herstmonceux Castle in East Sussex, England. It's been a belated trip. I was going to attend the first year program had I not been accepted to Concurrent Education. It is so exciting to finally be here and smell the English air.


It's fascinating to think that I will be spending six weeks studying in the English countryside. We've already seen so many new sights at a variety of sites. For instance, today was an East Sussex tour to Brighton, Birling Gap, and Pevensey Castle. My favourite place was Brighton where we sat on the pebble beach, hunted around for toilets, and walked into some beautiful streets [above].
Classes begin tomorrow and I'm really excited! I will be taking Impressionism and Post-impressionism, British Studies, and Modern British Poetry and Drama.
