The Beginning: Preparation in Wheaton

One thing not commonly known about Wheaton in England is that the journey begins in Wheaton.  And continues in Wheaton for two and half weeks.  In those two and half weeks, we complete half a semester's worth of work.  As you can imagine, this is extremely intense (think boot camp for English majors.  Instead of drills though, you get to spend all your time reading Shakespeare and Arthurian Romances).  Even though this has been exhausting, it has also been rewarding.  A lot of bonding takes place in a group when you live together, go to meals together, and try to ace Dr. Ryken's tests.  The nice thing is when you get to London, you have a lot of work behind you, and can enjoy all that London has to offer! (London theater here I come!)  Five days until departure! Woot!
