It had been nearly four months since I\u2019d stepped onto the campus, and every day felt like a new adventure. Since my arrival last September, I have immersed myself in a whirlwind of new knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I recalled the first day vividly\u2014the towering spires of the college, the lively chatter of students, and the intoxicating blend of history and modernity that surrounded me. I felt an overwhelming sense of excitement as I crossed the threshold into this prestigious institution. I had always dreamed of studying in London; now that dream was her reality.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As the semester progressed, I found myself falling deeper in love with my studies. The content of my courses challenged me in ways I never expected. I particularly enjoyed my class on international security, where they explored the rich tapestry and diversity of world order. The lecture felt like a journey through time, and I often finished the causes buzzing with ideas.<\/p>\n<p>As the first semester came to a close, I couldn\u2019t help but reflect on how quickly time had flown. Yesterday I submitted the summative assessment, 7 days before the deadline. I will have my first holiday of Christmas in London!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First Semester at King&#8217;s College A &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/austinzhang.com\/?p=858\">\u7ee7\u7eed\u9605\u8bfb <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"aside","meta":{"lazy_load_responsive_images_disabled":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/austinzhang.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/858"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/austinzhang.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/austinzhang.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/austinzhang.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/austinzhang.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=858"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/austinzhang.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/858\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":861,"href":"http:\/\/austinzhang.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/858\/revisions\/861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/austinzhang.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/austinzhang.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/austinzhang.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
