I’ve finally settled in at Goldsmiths, and classes are starting. Yes, it’s true — we actually have to take classes when we study abroad. I’m taking three classes to (hopefully) fulfill requirements for my minor in Film and Media Studies, and one class called London Theatre that takes us to a show each week. As exciting as academic life probably seems, it means I have less time to go on blog-worthy adventures. Just like you all back at home probably look back fondly on your New Student Week debauchery, so I look back on the wonders of orientation.

Luckily, over the past two weeks I’ve managed to hit up a good chunk of London’s touristy finest. Camera in hand, I visited Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and more. So consider the below slideshow my way of remembering what was — the immense amounts of free time I had before I received my encyclopedia-sized course packs.
