Quinn Lives Here

Wow. A blog. What the heck am I doing with a blog???

Well, I honestly never thought that I would start a blog. I'm not a very strongly opinionated person, I don't generally like updating the entire world about my every move...but I figured that because I have this amazing opportunity to do, learn, see, and experience amazing things I should share it with people!

You see, I am in London. Yes, I packed up all of my stuff (100 lb of luggage makes navigating Heathrow airport very difficult), flew across the Atlantic, and transplanted my little self in the United Kingdom.  I'm doing this as part of my studies in Business and Political Economy at New York University. It's required for everyone in my major, so luckily I do know some other people here. Going from my little suburb of Pleasant Hill to London, England is sorta a big deal, and I plan on having lots of adventures while I'm here, so I thought I would share those adventures with all of my friends and family still in the States who, unfortunately, could not come with me.

I'm also kind of doing this for myself: as a way to record my experiences, and to practice my writing. I am a student after all! And I thought it might be easier for me to keep a log of my experiences (I never was good at keeping a journal) if I put it on the internet for other people to read.

So here it is. Quinn L H. My blog. Maybe something will come of it, maybe not--maybe I will stop posting after a few months (I will try very hard not to do this)--but it will be an interesting experiment in the meantime.
