Will You Take My Picture?

While in London, I will be taking 12 units, which works out to 4 classes.

1. British Life and Culture - This class, every Monday, continues through both sessions. Most days it includes a field trip to a London landmark like Parliament or the Natural History Museum. Basically we will be learning everything that home-grown Brits already know.
   
2. World Cinema - I am very excited about this class. I enjoy world cinema as it is a snapshot of the state of the world/nation at the time the film was made. The style, narrative, tone of a film are very telling.
   
3. Internship - This should be super cool. At the moment, it seems I will be able to work at a small production company in London. This should be excellent and juxtapose nicely with my experience at HBO.
   
4. Independent Study - I talked with my sponsor professor today and am looking forward to my project. I will be doing a photo essay of London , ultimately creating a still photo "movie". I do not want to ruin the surprise of the end result, but it is going to be very awesome. I can't wait to start working on it. I already have some ideas of what I am going to do.

I eagerly look forward to London. My excitement changes to fear and back again every time I think about it. Going to London will be a scary, new, exciting adventure for me and having an end goal (my course work) will help me focus on why I am there when the fear creeps in.

Until we meet again,
