One of the perks of studying in Oxford is the proximity to amazing cities! I was lucky enough to travel each weekend of my study abroad program entirely by train. I was so impressed by the efficient railway system in Europe and wish that the States had something...

As a final assignment, each lab group in my course was given a topic about either Denmark, Ireland, or Scotland to present for our class. These topics ranged from European football, the Loch Ness monster, and The Black Death to name a few. My group presented on the...

At the beginning of my third week in Oxford, I decided to join my friends on a weekend trip to Edinburgh at the end of the week. Although I was coming with my friends, actually about half of the UA at Oxford group was in Edinburgh this weekend! We started the weekend...

“Cheers” Cheers is a word you hear a lot in Britain. I’ve heard it used in place of “thank you,” “you’re welcome,” and just a general phrase, but only in certain contexts. I’m not quite sure what exactly it means, but I like it. You will walk a lot. I am...

Before I throw you head first into my fabulously flustered pre-departure antics, I will introduce myself. My name is Harlyn Grey Cowart and I am from a small town in north Alabama called Athens. Athens is a town that you will miss if you blink while driving through...

Flight into Dublin wasn’t too bad. I flew out of Charlotte to Boston, and then had a four layover in Boston. Was able to catch up on work and get ready for the trip. Took off from Boston at 6p, and then landed at 4:45am Dublin time. Only issue, Dr. Keskin...

“In people’s eyes, in the swing, tramp, and trudge; in the bellow and the uproar; the carriages, motor cars, omnibuses, vans, sandwich men shuffling and swinging; brass bands; barrel organs; in the triumph and the jingle and the strange high singing of...

Singing “Sweet Home Alabama” in Dublin While my Study Abroad was only a Maymester, I still was able to visit two countries for a considerable amount of time. We had scheduled ten days in Dublin, Ireland and ten days in Istanbul, Turkey. Out of the two I...
