What is the London Honors program?

According to Houghton's website . . .

"Houghton College's London Honors Program combines an integrated curriculum with a European experience. This course of study in the spring semester for selected first-year students merges a traditional humanities curriculum with the opportunity to study in London. Combining history, literature, philosophy and the fine arts, this curriculum is a connected narrative of western ideas and culture from the ancient Greeks through the 20th century, affording students a thorough preparation for more advanced study."

In other words, lots of work but also lots of fun! A five-page paper due every week, three-hour lectures, tons of reading, museum visits, trips to the theater . . .

Welcome

Here it is, my London blog. I won't be going there for another few weeks, but I figured I'd get the blog set up so it will be all ready for me to post on when I get there. I don't know how regularly I'll post, but I'll certainly do my best to keep you all updated. There will definitely be pictures too! Enjoy taking this exciting journey with me. :)
