My Semester Abroad

Local college students — from the Puget Sound area or studying at a Puget Sound university — are traveling the world as part of their studies; several are sending dispatches about discovering their corner of the globe. They welcome your comments and questions.

Editor's note: Thanks to all the students who shared their experiences on traveling and learning. "Semester Abroad" is being discontinued.

London: Library time

Posted by Laura Geggel at 07:19 AM

The UCL library is closed on Sunday! OK, correction: you can be in the library from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., but you can't check books out. Thus, I had to stay there all afternoon to read Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew," in a wooden chair that inhibited sleep. I'm up now, by the way, because the fire alarm has gone off yet again. I make the most of my time outside by painting my toenails — glad I had the presence of mind to grab the polish as we filed outside. Now, back to bed.
