Another quick visit!  After Brighton, my mom and I hopped on a train (actually two) to Rochester, a small town in eastern England.  We went to Rochester so I could go to an Open Day at the University for the Creative Arts.  The town is very old (maybe the 12th century castle gave it away?), but the campus itself is very modern.  After spending the day on the campus, my mom and I walked through the city center and eventually stumbled upon a Christmas fair.  I wasn't feeling very well that day, so I didn't go on any of the rides or eat any of the carnival foods, but it was still fun to walk around the fair.

Considering it's December, I expected it to be cold, or at least rather chilly.  With that expectation, I wore a heavy jumper and tights with my dress.  Very soon after getting dressed, though, I realized I had made a mistake; I was so hot!  Maybe it doesn't help where I come from a place where the average temperature in December is about 10 degrees Fahrenheit, so there it felt like a heat wave!  As you can see, I even pulled my hair back - something I rarely do.

We left Rochester the next day to go to Preston, which is in northwest England.  I forgot to take any pictures there, so my next post will head straight to London.  But in Preston I toured the University of Central Lancashire, which actually surpassed my expectations; the program there looks really good.

I want to end by wishing everyone a happy new year!  2015 has been a great year for me; I graduated high school, started college, went to New York City to attend Teen Vogue's Fashion University, and just returned from an unforgettable trip to England.  I can't wait to see what 2016 has in store!
