Postcards from New York

TWO MONTHS ALREADY?!

As of yesterday, I have been living in the US for 2 whole months! That seems so, so crazy to me! It has gone so fast, we're almost half way through this semester, and I know before I know it we'll be heading home for Christmas!

The past two weeks have been super busy with papers and midterms, and has been quite stressful! They seem to have gone ok, and the test I did a few weeks back and complained how awful it was, I somehow got 110%!! I don't know how that happened, or how it is even logically possible, but I'll take it! I'm still loving all my classes but cannot wait until next weekend as we have Fall Break which will be a nice little break away from all the hard work!

 I should probably have spent this weekend studying for my next two midterms, but instead I have had a jam-packed weekend exploring upstate New York. At the end of the day, I'm only here for a year and have not come all this way to see the inside of a library, so I have to make the most of it! 

 We were in a gift shop on our adventures today, and I was looking at the postcards and thought it would be cool to do something a little creative- so I've put together some of my favourite moments from the past two months and made them into little postcards type things (nothing too fancy or requiring artistic technique that I definitely do not have, but I think it looks pretty). Enjoy!! 



















There's some of my favourite pics! Next weekend is going to be very very exciting so keep an eye out for another post sometime soon! 

I post all the time on my Instagram: @elsiecussons , so go check that out if your not already following!

And just because today is my brothers 21'st birthday, and this is the first time we've been in different countries for one of our birthdays, here's a special throwback:

THE PROS AND CONS OF STUDYING ABROAD   Now that I have finished my first semester, and have lived in a country which is not my home country for 4 1/2 months, I feel that I can give a good opinion on whether to study abroad or not. I know that for any Lancaster University students, it will be decision time very soon, so if you're still not sure, hopefully I can help! So I'm going to do it in a pros and cons format, and then give my honest opinion at the end!

SPRING BREAK PART 2 ALBANY, NEW YORK For the rest of Spring Break I was lucky enough to stay with two of my American friends; one who lived near Albany, and I went back to my friends house who I stayed with for thanksgiving near Poughkeepsie. I was so thankful to them and their families,  I had a wonderful easter break and I was lucky enough to see a lot more of New York State itself!
