In one word, ADVENTURE.

Wow. I don't even know what to write or where to start. Since my last post we toured the Tower of London, had afternoon tea at Harrod's, went to St. Paul's for Church, managed to lose one of our group members to UK security at the Eurostar station, and arrived in Brussels. It is beautiful here, but it is weird to think that it will be "home" for the next couple of months. I found out my internship placement yesterday afternoon and I will work for a small PR firm that is just outside the city. There are only 8 people who work in this office and the program director told me that they have plenty of work for me! It is exciting and I think that I will have a lot more opportunities available to me. Today we received our housing assignments. Instead of just placing us in apartments, the directors created this huge mess and decided to let people select their own place. Well, of course everyone wanted to live in the same place because it is newly furnished and there are 6 students in that building. My roommate Evelyn and I were placed here which is very exciting! They really had no choice but to put me there because it is the best location for me to hop the train to my internship. It is also really close to several other apartments where friends will live. There are so many stories to share but they have to wait because I am running out of time. Hope everyone is well!
