You Up For Europe?

My crapulent six-week rendezvous with Europe and its drunkard citizens begins in 25 days and counting. Of course, this trip will serve as nothing but a fully-educational trip consisting of deep assimilation of varying cultures - less you worry.

Destination: London
Residence: University of London residence dormitories
Place of study: Birkbeck College, University of London
Length of stay: Six weeks [June 30 - August 9]

I will be utilizing this blog in order to keep you [my obsessive fanboy readers...aka my parents] updated and entertained. Perhaps I should have created a dichotomous blog system; one used solely for educational purposes (performances, realizations, cross-cultural encounters, etc.) and one packed full of inept experiences and story-tellings from nights that are better recalled through a 3" LCD camera screen and through the countless "Dude, remember when"'s than they are from my own memory. However, I will be combining these experiences into one eclectic blog for your enjoyment.

My education in London will consist of three English Literature classes: Literature and English from 1900 to the present, Postcolonial Literature and Theory, and Renaissance Literature and Drama. The program description for the MSU Study Abroad program can be found here.

My potential places to visit include Paris, Arras and Wales, respectively, as well as spontaneous (but not so spontaneous since I'm planning on the spontaneity of my travel) day and night trips in between. Posted will be pictures, videos, maps, links, but most importantly beautifully drawn-out accounts of unusual experiences from an unusual introspective mindset (introspectivity...in MY activities...get it?).

I will attempt to post regularly, but I can't promise I will be in an appropriate posting "state of mind".

I will try my best.


Anxiously awaiting the termination of my current educational obligations here in the US,


Evan
