Reflection Week

  Hello, my fellow readers,      This week is reflection week and what it means is that students have a whole week off of classes to either travel to see their families or to catch up on assignments. For us study-abroad students, that meant taking a trip to Wales for three days at a place called Plas Caerdeon. Plas Caerdeon is a big house that does educational activities for Liverpool Hope University students and other schools who want to take their students on a day/multi-day trip. The ride was 2-3 hours long, but the beautiful landscapes and, surprisingly,  the many sheep made the ride seem shorter because I wanted to look at both sides of the windows to see new sites.                                                                                    Nature (The white dots that you see are the sheep)                                                               Beautiful View                                                        A little town to go to, Plas Caerdeon.

Making the decision of studying abroad for a full semester was something that I thought about for quite some time. Doing my research about the GO program and what I am supposed to do was informal and I could take some time to think about where I wanted to go for the GO program. I knew that I wanted to stay in another country for a long period of time instead of 2 weeks. Being in another country was something I have never done and I wanted to explore as much as possible and experience new things that would stick in my memory for the rest of my life. Deciding to take my studies at Liverpool Hope University was
