"Please, Mind The Gap"

Day 2 of 3 #COMPLETE. As I said, I am studying for a Masters in International Human Rights and Social Justice. I am required to take 3 20-Credit Courses in the fall and again in the spring, followed by my dissertation in summer worth 60 Credits. Unfortunately, because of my visa issues, I missed week 1 of class but so far it hasn't caused me any problems. I have my first day of Module 3 tomorrow evening - wish me luck!. My autumn modules consist of the following -

Module 1: Women, Gender, and Human Rights
Module 2: History and Theory of Human Rights
Module 3: Social Research; Principles, Practice, and Concepts 

In all truthfulness, yesterday was a tough day. I don't do well with chaos and with the UK banking systems sending me back and forth between branches repeatedly, the registering for classes on the last day of enrollment, and then having to go to my first class clear across the city on a different campus - I was a mess! It's moments like that I'm pretty thankful for my support system at home (Mum and Pop, you are LIFESAVERS), because they were able to calm me down and talk me through it. 

Today = Complete 180. Finally, Barclay's was able to help me with my UK Bank account (Fatima E. at the High Street Kensington Branch, you are FANTASTIC). All my modules appeared on my "WebLearn" so I can now see my syllabi and I even met a few ladies tonight who are following the same program as me. Things are finally starting to settle down and I'm finally getting the time to appreciate where I am.....LONDON. I can't wait until I am familiar with my surroundings and I know soon it will feel quite like "home"; minus the family and plus the accents/impeccably stylish men (I've never seen so many tailored suits on young attractive men in one place) This is very Fashion-Forward city!

From across the Atlantic, goodnight my beautiful family and friends; it's 10:30PM here in London! 
I look forward to seeing you over the holiday's - I promise, I have myself a little countdown going <3




Good-doing is incumbent upon you, for it is the best cultivation and the most profitable commodity.
