First Time Going to the Beach- Wayne Taylor

This past week has been a week of experiences, studying, and recovering.

I was recently sick with a runny nose and a grotesque cough. I constantly had a pile of tissues by my side during stats ( Thank you Rachel and Anna). Fortunately, I was able to get over the sickness and travel to Brighton!

Brighton was amazing! We took the train to the city, and I was able to see the rolling green hills of England. It was very serene setting compared to central London. Shortly after arriving, we headed straight towards the beach. The minute I saw the ocean, my face was filled with excitement. It was my first time going to the beach. My childhood dream came true. Yes, the beach wasn't sandy with blue water and it wasn't 90 degrees, but the seagulls were crying, the pebbles underneath my feet were round and colorful, the breeze was strong, and the salt water was there. This made the beach perfect in my eyes. One of the best part of the trip, was lying on the beach with everyone else just listening to the waves with the sun on my face. This is the reason why I knew that studying abroad and GLS was worth all the work. I accomplished a dream with great people around me.
     

I also went on a ride on the pier that was 130 feet tall. It's called the Booster! It takes you up in the air and rotates you 360 degrees while over the water. It was pretty great.
                             
We have one last week of stats left and then Spring Break!!!!!
