Favorite Experience: My favorite experience was finally being able to not only explore and visit London but to live there for about three weeks. London has been a dream destination of mine, and those three weeks are unforgettable. I was able to watch numerous West End shows, explore the city's main attractions/museums, and meet new people along the way.
New/Exciting Course Abroad: I took a Shakespeare course that was very interesting as I had not read much of his work before this course. It made me appreciate his work greatly, and I was able to connect his work to themes of today's society. My final paper connected two of his plays to climate change and how humans do not care for the earth correctly, and this was a very interesting topic to explore.
