Oscar Duran: YOLO!!!!! :P

Today is my day off and I find myself sitting here writing a blog instead of being out in the sun :( (Not to happy) haha JK. But seriously when ever you guys go on exchange you will be having so much fun, the last thing you’ll want to do is write a blog: P. But either way, I do feel like writing this blog to tell you guys to live by one word that I hate very much… YOLO (P.S thanks Sam Glennie: $ haha)

For those that don’t know what this word means, it means You Only Live Once; Sam certainly made sure to engrave that word in everyone’s vocabulary haha. But she does have a point; whenever you study abroad you have to make sure to enjoy everything you can! I do understand that some of you are trying to safe money, but before saving money you should really ask yourself if you will ever get another chance to study abroad.

If have taken a loan to pay for this trip, then why save it? Spend it all having a great time, and then when you come back I’m sure you guys will have a plan to pay it off. This might sound a little irresponsible: P but just remember YOLO!!!

It is important to keep in mind that with such a powerful word, comes great responsibility :P. If you are ready to have a good time, just make sure to have a plan on what you can do to pay all your debts. Also remember that school comes first ;).

Anyways my point is that if I hadn’t learned the word YOLO I would have never gone to Vegas and jumped off the Stratosphere tower which is 260m above ground: P

Breanna Nathorst: Leaving Paradise with Mi Familia

Image
     We have come a long way over the past 9 days of this trip and it has been beyond anything I could have expected. By emercing ourselves in the lively Guatemalan culture, we have taken a step out of the classroom into reality.  Leaving Livingston      Today is day 9 of our excursion and I am saddened to say that we had to leave Livingston- my Guatemalan paradise. As we packed our bags to leave, memories from the night before filled my head. We had a fiesta- Livingston style- at a reggae bar called ‘Duga’ located right outside of our hotel. We were joined by our new friends who were locals in Livingston and we shared music, laughter, and dancing. There were bongo drums and guitars and an amazing local from Belize named Mario got our whole group up on stage one-by-one to teach us how to dance ‘punta’, a type of Guatemalan dance. As the night went on our fiesta kept growing as locals who were passing by joined in to see what was happening. I am sure they were both surprised and

London Field School x2 - 2019

LONDON Field School x2 - Mia, Rose & Oscar 2019  On our last full day in London, We took two trains in the London Underground to get to Camden Markets. By this point in the trip we were tubes experts. Arriving in Camden Town, we walked to the "The Basement Tea House" so everyone knew where to come for our tea reservation a little later in the day - and good thing we did! We walked through narrow corridors amoung shop owners setting up their stalls, down a lift to the basement. In the heart of the markets were shops set up in what used to be horse stables that sold hats, jewellery, vintage clothes, fetish apparel, and of course, tea. From there we were set free to roam the markets at our own accord. With over 1000 unique vendors in the market there was a plethora of food and knick knacks to pursue, smell, and purchase. Some of the food that was consumed included: donuts, waffles, hand made pasta, milkshakes, pakoras, cereal, fried chicken crepes, among much, muc

London Field School 2019: Day 1 – February 15 th Carley, Chloe and Maria Song of the Day: London Bridge, by Fergie Check out our trip video on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD33ii01kXI Our first day in London started at the Westminster Pier, from there we caught the ferry to the Greenwich Village. Thames River is the lifeblood of London, and as a result you will find many of the most popular tourist attractions on the river's banks. We enjoyed the views from the upper deck and when it got too windy, we used the opportunity to go down to the warm hall of the lower deck and get some coffee. The knowledgeable crew was giving a live commentary of all the sights along the way. You get great views of all the landmarks and learn a bit of history on them all. We saw the London Eye, Tower Bridge, Parliament, Military Ships, and so much more . Taken at Westminster Pier before we hopped on the Thames River Cruise!
