Hey WIB family! I hope everything is going great in Bloomington. I had some major FOMO this past weekend—apparently I missed out on the best conference yet. Props to the conference committee!
To update you on my life, this week is midterm week so I’m busy writing a bunch of essays and trying to catch up on readings (yes, we actually go to class here). Taking five classes and interning two days a week is a lot more tiring than I expected, but somehow I always have energy to travel or explore London on the weekends. My internship is with a fashion-tech startup called Snap Fashion, a company with visual search-engine shopping apps. It’s been exciting working for a small startup because I've gotten to contribute a lot, and I couldn’t ask for nicer, more genuine coworkers. I’ve done some user-experience testing, blogging and social media work, along with other random tasks like database tidying. Last week I did street style interviews for London Fashion Week and *blogged* about attending a designer's fashion week presentation. Super exciting!
So far, I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to Rome and Dublin—still looking forward to my Scotland and Prague trips. My favorite parts of London so far have been Brick Lane, which has amazing cheap market food and vintage shops, Lyceum Theater where I saw Lion King with my dad, and a boat tour I went on to Greenwich where we stood on the Prime Meridian (in two hemispheres at once). To read more about my personal adventures check out my study abroad **blog** where I post weekly about random topics. Miss you all! x
