For those who I haven't told (or those who have forgotten), I will be in London for 3 weeks as a study abroad program through Florida State University. This program is a digital media production course (2 courses, really) in which we must keep a blog, shoot video, make a podcast, and take lots and lots of pictures. It just so happens to be in London.
I'm also going to take this opportunity to say that I am required to use Blogger for my class. Since Google bought Blogger, the interface has changed significantly. It's disgustingly simple and so frustrating when you want to actually make things look professional. I'd use Wordpress if it were my choice. Just sayin'.
My choice of blog title comes directly from my trip "mascot" (something we have with us to put into pictures, see below). This little guy heavily influenced my childhood - I'm sure many people my age would say the same - and significantly added to my love of great literature. So in a rare infringement of copyright, let me (re)introduce you to... Wishbone.
Aaaah, the memories! How many times did I watch that intro? Hundreds, I'm sure. A major regret in my life is that I erased all the TV recordings of Wishbone I made on VHS. What on earth was my 14 year old self thinking?
And here's my adorable little traveling companion in front of Lake Mendota in Madison:
For those unfamiliar with Madison, we took some pictures at the Union Terrace (would have been more, but they just started reconstruction *sigh*) and the state capitol.
I leave Madison on June 25th - first, a bus to O'Hare airport, then a flight to Charlotte, then a flight to Dublin. I'll be staying with a friend's sister while in the Emerald Isle for approximately a week before flying to London. Since I'm a library student, a trip to Trinity College in Dublin to see the Book of Kells was an absolute necessity. But more on that later. So begins the adventure!
