The semester creeped up on all of us faster than we had imagined. My spring term at Roehampton has officially come to an end in regard to in-person classes. Today I had my final presentation for one of my modules and now the only thing left to complete are two reports due by April 23rd. The business professors that I’ve had here have all been extremely helpful and were all very qualified for the topics they were teaching. There really is nothing I can complain about other than having to wait three months to know my final grades. The UK system goes to a long examination grading process to ensure that all marks are given fairly amongst all students. Despite this, I think my academic experience at Roehampton has been remarkable.
Before flying to London, I remember Allison, our study abroad advisor from UH, telling our group to bring small gifts for any professors or friends we’d get to know. I’m really glad I took this advice into consideration. This week I gave two of my professors tea packages from home and they were both really happy to have received something. As for the friends I’ve made, I have small boxes of Hawaiian Host chocolates to give, but procrastinating on handing them out is my way of stalling on having to say goodbye. Even though my semester is technically over, I won’t be heading home until mid-May. I’m going to be traveling with some of my friends for the month of April and then with my family in May. I’m trying my best to enjoy and take advantage of every moment I have here in Europe, after all it had always been one of my dreams to visit so now that I’m here, I can’t let the opportunity go to waste!
