Canterbury and the Cathedral

My first week in Canterbury was full of orientations, choosing classes, and starting classes. I only had to go to my Modern Britain and British Literature classes which both meet for two hours each on Wednesdays. The rest of the week, I was class-free. So, I had plenty of time to settle in and have fun meeting new people and enjoying the exciting nightlife that Canterbury has to offer. :) I went to a few pubs called the Jolly Sailor and the Penny, as well as a club called Chemistry.
I've had the chance to walk around and get to know the city and campus as well. Last Friday, January 14, we had our first guided tour of the city of Canterbury and the Canterbury Cathedral. It wasn't the best weather for a walking tour because it was very cold and rainy that day, but enduring the weather was worth it. My favorite part of the tour and the city is the Cathedral. It's gorgeous! And the best part is that I get to see it everyday as I walk around the city or head to campus. I love seeing all of the old houses and buildings that are here in England because you can't see anything quite like them in America. I'm enjoying taking in every sight, every moment, and every experience as much as possible!
