Hello from Home!

Hey everyone,

So, officially the Spring term at Sussex is over. Where did that time go? Although Sussex has three terms (Autumn, Spring and Summer), many of the classes from the spring term continue into the summer term. So, basically it is like having 2, uneven semesters. The autumn term classes last for 10 weeks, and the spring and summer term classes last for 10 weeks in the spring term and 5 weeks in the summer term, for a total of 15 weeks. If this is confusing for anyone, don’t worry, it has confused me for quite awhile!

Anyways, Friday I flew back home to New York, and today, I woke up to snow!!! Seriously?! Sussex has had flowers in bloom since early February, and now there are tons of daffodils all over the campus! Needless to say, although the Northeast has had a messy winter, I have definitely been used to mild weather lately. Although, it was like 65 degrees when I got off the plane at Newark Friday night. So strange.

Anyways, another thing that is definitely different about Sussex is the 5-week long spring break that we are all just at the start of! From March 18th to April 27th, there are no classes! And, the royal wedding is the 29th of April, followed by a bank holiday in early May, which basically just means more time off! Another thing to mention about the royal wedding – I NEVER hear about it in England, pretty much all I know about it has been from magazines and news programs I read and watch when I am home in America.

OK, hopefully everyone is having a good Monday!
