Looking back on February

February was a great month, I was living it up in England. School was keeping me exceptionally busy. However, on the weekends, I always made time to head into the city. 

I discovered the Tate Modern for the first time in February. I spent hours walking around aimlessly. 

I read Richard III on a bench outside of the Globe Theater. 

I went to go see Buckingham Palace for the first time. 

I experienced my first Super Bowl Sunday abroad. And I have to say, I actually really enjoyed it. Mind you, we had to stay up ridiculously late for the showing, but we still enjoyed it. 

Later on in the month, we had a week off from lectures. Taylor and I set off to an Eastern Europe adventure. 

We began our little trip in Budapest, Hungary. It was freezing and we didn't speak a lick of Hungarian, but we experienced some of the best spas in the world and ate delicious goulash. 

After our few days in Budapest, we headed off to Prague. Although getting there was quite the adventure. You see, we woke up the day of our departure only to find out it had snowed that night. And the brave souls that we are, we decided that walking to the bus station was a perfectly reasonable idea. It wasn't. We got lost, we treaded through miles of snow with our luggage and we missed our bus. But looking back on it now, it's hilarious and I can now say that I've treaded through snow in shady parts of Budapest. 

We stopped in Bratislava on the way to Prague. And even though we were scared of Eastern European Mafia members kidnapping us (I should probably stop watching so many freaky movies), we ran off the bus to take a quick picture. 

We arrived to Prague, and once again were welcomed with freakishly cold weather. But walking around town and soaking in all those Kafka bookstores was amazing. 

We had a blast discovering the 2 cities. After our week off, I headed back to Egham and started hitting the books hard. 

I also had my first Brick Lane experience, it was a memorable night. 

When I look back on February, I am reminded of all the new discoveries I made and things I got to experience for the first time. I am so grateful that I got to take part in all of it. It was such a good month!
