Trip to London: Part 1

Jana Zschoche February 4, 2017

Finally getting to my next London blog post... I was lucky enough to go back to London for six days in November, where I got to visit Shae and revisit my favorite city. I ran from classes to the airport and took a late night flight, arriving in London early the next day. We had the rest of the day ahead of us, so we had plenty of time for brunch, my favorite bookstore, not one but two museums, and a long, meandering walk through the decorated streets.

Phone Diary: London + Paris

Jana Zschoche January 19, 2017

London is my absolute favorite place, and I've missed it so much since leaving after my semester abroad. Many of my friends were studying abroad this past semester, and Shae happened to be studying in London. I took advantage of that and less expensive plane tickets (thanks, Brexit, for lowering the value of the pound?) to go visit Shae in London over Thanksgiving. It was so wonderful to be back in London for six days, this time with Shae, and getting to do some of my favorite things while also doing some new things that I hadn't gotten to while I studied there. My trip was packed and fun, from wandering around Bloomsbury, Notting Hill, Kensington, and East London, to seeing Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and The Last Five Years, to enjoying London at the holidays. Plus, we also went to Paris for a day - roundtrip train trip, two museums, Shakespeare & Company, and many photo opportunities.

Snapshots: Winter Break

After a busy, exhausting, and stressful semester, I went home to Virginia for a month. When I wasn't catching up on sleep, I was taking family photos, cooking and baking, going out to see movies (8 movies!), and reading, reading, reading (11 books!). Here are some quick snapshots from a month at home.

Phone Diary: Fall Semester

Jana Zschoche December 21, 2016

The fall semester of my junior year has finally come to a close. It was definitely a difficult, busy, and stressful semester, and I'm honestly glad that it's over. There were still some good parts though: fall in the city (my favorite season), lots of good theater, seeing one of my favorite bands (the Head and the Heart) on my birthday, a couple of nice trips home, and a trip to London (coming soon to the blog).
