Hello! I’m Angela, and I’m a Course 20 junior who is studying at University College London (UCL) for my spring semester. I’ll start by recounting how I got here in the first place- I’ve always wanted to do study abroad, even before I came to MIT. There are organized study abroad programs that MIT offers, such as CME and MIT-Madrid, but none of them fit what I was looking for. I originally considered CME, but it was complicated by the fact that my department (course 20) did not participate.

As my friends back at MIT have just finished up their exams and are now getting ready for summer jobs and internships, I'm finding it hard to believe that I still have an entire month left here in Spain. At the same time, when I stop and think about it, I can also hardly believe that I only have one more month left here. I'll be taking my final exams during the first three weeks of June, and as I'm heading into the last "real" week of school I'm realizing just how fast this semester has flown by.

“What’s the biggest difference between living in the US and UK?” Since moving to the UK approximately 18 months ago, I have become accustomed to hearing this question on a pretty regular basis. As much as I’d like to play up the stereotype and say “the weather,” that would be false, though it is certainly a topic of much British conversation.[1]

你好!吃饭了吗? (Hello! Have you eaten yet?) This is a common way for Chinese people to greet acquaintances – however, you might not know me yet, so let me start by introducing myself!

Study abroad is important since it is like what hardening off is to a plant. Hardening off is when you take a young plant and you put it outside where the environment is vastly different. The result is that young plant gets stronger and more resilient, but at first hardening off is hard. Let me walk through this analogy a little more.

 It's just about getting to the end of the third week of term here at Cambridge and exams are just over two weeks away.  For the third year maths students, there are no lectures in the Easter term. When I first found out about this, I was somewhat skeptical about spending an entire term just studying.  I had thought that it was going to be agonizingly boring for the first few weeks and full of  stressful cramming for the last two weeks leading into exams.
