Hello / Hey

I'm Hannah, I turn 22 next week, I am a Piesces, I am allergic to cats, I am a comics lover, dinosaur  fangirl and an out and out nerd.  But most importantly I am an exchange student studying in America.

This is home - or at least it's Bath Spa University - my school back in lovely England.

This is a photo of Gatehouse.  The campus at Bath Spa is stunning.

And this is my new home! Columbia College, Chicago.

This is one of Columbia's buildings.  They're downtown and very cool.

I arrived here a month ago and it's incredible.  Moving anywhere new is exciting but Chicago is such a bustling, culture rich and exciting city that it's hard to believe I am really here.

So here's a little about Hannah in England.

I am a second year in Creative Writing with a focus on journalism. I am a straight B student with a shaky record of attendance.  If I was on a sports team I'd be the benchwarmer with a lot of heart. 

Skip forward a month and Hannah in America is a totally different story. I have been to every single class, on time and with my homework completed.  I am an eager beaver trying to intern everywhere and socialising as much as possible.  I love it here.

THrough this blog I will be exploring the ways my two schools differ and how they are the same.  I'll be looking at workshopping methods, strictness on attendance and homework and the subjects on offer.

I hope you stop by and share how exciting all of this is!

Hannah
