London: Victoria & Albert Museum

On Friday, I had my first venture into the city of London. And while that may bring up thoughts of Big Ben and the Buckingham Palace to most people, I can’t say that this was a tourist trip into the city at all, considering the fact that I spent most of the day inside of [...]

  There are certain needs I have when there’s a paper due: notes, textbooks, pen, paper, laptop…. and obviously some delicious chocolate to get me through the next few stressful hours!   Today happens to be one of those days where I am cooped up, working diligently like a good college student should.
