Why I Came to London

A couple nights back my roommates and I were planning out what countries we wanted to visit.  Looking at all the cities I could have studied in, I tried to think back to why I chose London.  Strange as it may sound, I made the decision about 4 years ago.  Towards the end of my sophomore year in high school I started watching a lot of soccer...err I mean football.  Can't tell you how many times I've been corrected on that these past 10 days.... 

Best 10 pounds I'll ever spend.


And so one day later that year, I just made up my mind that in college I was going to study in London and try to get to as many games as possible.  When I got to Stonehill and found out about the London internship program, all the pieces just fell together.  But at the beginning of last semester, I had some serious doubts about London though.  Basically I just didn't want to intern and go somewhere with my friends where I wouldn't have any real work and could dick around Europe.  Night's like tonight though, sitting 5 rows from the field, leave no doubt in my mind that I made the right choice.
