[Travel Recap] Venice, Italy

…. She took even longer than 4 months ._. APOLOGIES. In my inaccurate recollection, I thought I posted in February  😓😭😭 But I still haven't given this up so here begins a series of travel recaps! (interspersed with some reflection posts) Veniceeeeeeeee. I went in November with a fellow exchange friend for 4 days. How could I have gone in November, you ask? Well, like how UBC has departments of majors within faculties, Bristol Uni has different schools within their faculties. Because I wasn't able to enroll in all the sociology courses I wanted, I was in both the School for Policy Studies and School of Sociology, Politics, and International Studies. But the beauty of it was that each school got to set their own timetable (within the Uni's overall timeline, of course) My schools set Reading Break for weeks 6 and 12 :') Basically this is a brag that we got a week break in the middle of the term and got to finish the course one week earlier than other peop...

[Update] Some things never change...

Image
Hello hello! Thank you to those who've been reminding me about this corner of existence. I don't actually see who or how many subscribes so glad to hear that some people actually remember this :') Thank you for your patience. Surprise surprise, Charlotte is once again very late, but better late than never, right? ;) Obviously lots of things have changed and I've settled since school (or as they say here, uni) started in October.

Welcome!

At the risk of turning this into an online journal of rambly thoughts, I've created this blog so I could share with all of you what my experiences while on exchange have been! Let's be honest here, it will most likely end up rambly (you have been warned) BUT I hope to share with you all some updates, pictures, and musings! Some photo dumps from travels as well, probably. It's my first time doing anything like this so please bear with me as I try to navigate this world of blogging :') It'll be interesting for me to discover the difference of intimacy between what to share for a blog, for closer friends, and for my journal (e.g. real paper and pen stuff just for myself). Also I love snapchat so follow me @charlotte-choi if you want in-the-moment snaps of my life. I'm more of an in-the-moment sort of person anyways tbh.* To those who may not know, I am a Christian and my faith is actually a really big part of who I am. In addition to growing as a person wh...
