I&#8217;m also extremely excited for my Gothic Fiction course. I will get to see the Sherlock Holmes Museum and go on a Jack the Ripper walking tour, and that&#8217;s only naming a few of the things I have to look forward to!<\/p>\n<p>I will be gone for a month, and I thought it would be fun to share my experiences with you guys, so I will write a post once a week and write about some of the more exciting trips my classes take.<\/p>\n<p>Goodbye until next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Everyone!
