Finals were all adjusted to fit with the transition to online classes. Since most class sessions were recorded, it was helpful to be able to study by accessing those files. Of course, it was a very stressful week, but professors accommodated students which really helped when completing the course exams and essays. Admittedly, there were times it was increasingly difficult to stay motivated during the government-ordered lockdown. Being at home isn’t always the best environment to study and to be productive. However; I found that stepping away from work and going outside for a few minutes to get fresh air helped with the studying process.
Thankfully, my university and program were able to work together, so now all my class credits will transfer over. It was surreal to realize that once finals ended, so would the whole study abroad experience, even knowing that I have been for half of it. It’s just that the end of finals indicated the official end of the London experience. After much reflection, I’m able to now focus on all the wonderful parts of the experience.
