"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life."- Samuel Johnson.

It seems as if this trip has flown by! Being in London and Stratford studying the great Shakespeare has given me an even greater appreciation for the complexities of his works. I've loved studying with the professors and my classmates. I'll be very sad to leave London and the wonderful Shakespeare program but am looking forward to the next two and a half weeks that I'll be abroad! And finally getting back to UCLA of course.
