From Cambridge to Cambridge

After spending 6 hours in the air, 4 hours at the airport, and 2 hours on a bus, I finally arrived in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire!

Thanks to Will who came by and saw me off before I left!


The airplane ride was pretty fast. During the flight, I watched Kickass and attempted to sleep, but wasn't too successful due to the number of people who had their reading lights on...nonetheless the food was decent and there were no anomalies.

Unfortunately, three separate flights all landed into London Heathrow at the same time, so getting through customs took forever! Coincidentally, I met up with the twins and Steph while waiting in line...I may have lied when I checked "no" to "Did you have a cough within the past 6 months," haha oh well. After clearing customs, we met up with other CME students and grabbed a light breakfast. I purchased a tuna wrap and a lemonade for ~8 pounds... Finally, the Cambridge International Office Rep met us after 2.5 hours and directed us onto a shuttle. Operating on one hour of sleep, I instantly dozed off and awoke to green pastures and the countryside of Cambridgeshire. Next, the Office Rep hailed university taxis for us which ended up taking us to our respective colleges; my college is called Emmanuel. My instant first impression of Cambridge University was wow, everything is so green and fancy.
