Let’s see…where to begin. My name is Dyana
Cummings and I am part of a 12 person group participating in the
Semester in London program that Wingate University offers all of
its students. I am first and for most, totally, utterly, and
completely ecstatic about spending an entire semester in
London. Who wouldn’t be though?
I thought that it might be a good idea to
first fill you all in on who it is that is going this semester
to London. We have three guys and nine girls. We have an
Accounting major, an Art major, a Music major, a couple of
History and English majors, and a couple of Psychology and
Sociology majors. Most of us are juniors, but there are a few
seniors as well.
The
other thing that I wanted to touch on is packing and getting
ready to depart. I have been planning for my departure to
London all summer. I thought that I would be a bit more
stressed than I am but everything seems to just keeping falling
into place-making it much easier to get ready. My roommate and
I have decided to pack together, this gives us four 50lb
suitcases and two 40lb carry-ons to fill. We have also decided
to split the cost of things like Ramen noodles, shampoo and
conditioner, soap, power converters, towels, etc. This has
helped limit my own cost as well as hers. We have even decided
to pack our clothes and shoes together (mind you we have been
roommates before this as well) which has doubled each of our
wardrobes. Now you can see how efficient this packing system
has started to turn out!! The last couple of my days here in the
States will most definitely be filled with packing, organizing,
and most of all, trying to find time to see all my friends and
family before I fly out. So on that note, I am going to have to
say goodbye and next time I write I will hopefully be in London
and settled in!
