My First Trip as a Teacher

Hello, world!!

I went to London! And I took The Chunnel to get there!

Going in!

Ah, just casually walking around as we are speeding along under the Channel. 

And then we went outside! And it was wonderful! But, of course, after a long, might I add, overnight journey on a bus, we thought to ourselves, "Selves, let's eat something!", and we went to this swanky pub that fit a ton of students and even more alcohol!  (None of which was partaken of, I promise.)

I'll take one of each, please.

 Then we traveled around, and saw a good mix of famous architecture, museums, and life in London.  I could give you every detail, but I think it's much more entertaining to just look at pictures, and then let you Wikipedia London if you're still interested.

The TARDIS!! Nerd highlight of the trip for me.

And yes, thank you for noticing, I am holding a sonic screwdriver, er, turnavis sonique, that one of my students brought with him for just this moment.

Classic.

My students think I'm insane.  The thing is, they're right.

 We spent a couple evenings in Covent Garden, which I fell in love with immediately.  It had such an incredibly artsy feel to it, and a beautiful opera house.  I know that I could be happy as a bum on those streets if the whole music teacher thing doesn't work out.

All this place needed was a killer DJ, but I guess the random soprano in jeans singing the Queen of the Night's famous aria will do.

I loved the Christmas decorations everywhere! The city really seemed magical with them. 

We saw this bridge that was made famous by Fergie.

My teaching colleagues.

And Buckingham Palace at night.  Not a bad way to end an amazing 5 days.

I couldn't have asked for a better trip with better people. There is something about having shared memories with others that automatically makes for an easier and better friendship. This trip was a chance to create a few of those with the people that I've been spending all of my time with!

Thanks for reading, et à bientôt!

Much love,
