Sarah, who turned 21-year-old on January, Friday the 13th, is an English major concentrating on theater (or as the British spell it, theatre) with a minor in psychology. She attends Barnard College, Columbia University, but will be studying at King's College while in London. Interesting fact: Kim Gradel, one of the inaugural members of the BlogAbroaod.com team, studied at King's College for a semester, and cites it as one of the greatest times in her life. Read Sarah's blog to find out if she feels the same way.

While very excited to be studying literature in England, before leaving she admitted that, "I'm not wild about having to make all new friends when I get to London. Because I'm going to be at a British university (as opposed to a program comprised entirely of other people who are studying abroad), and because I'm arriving mid year, I realize that everyone will have already made friends and I will be stuck coming into a program where everyone already has friends and I'm made to feel like I'm back in middle-school."

Her Q & A on general interests taught us:

What type of music do you listen to?

Okay, you caught me. I'm a huge dork, and that really shows in my choice of music. I love Broadway show tunes above all else, my favorites being by Stephen Sondheim, who I'm convinced knows how to walk on water. I also love the golden oldies: songs by Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and those Gershwin boys. When it comes to vocals, no one beats Ella Fitzgerald. I've actually been moved to tears by her simply because I think her genius is so huge. I listen to Opera as well; my favorites are Mozart and Puccini, though I also like baroque opera, and baroque music in general (Bach being a personal favorite). If forced to pick someone from my own generation I'm really into Ani Difranco?though I admire her equally as a poet and musician. And I would have to throw in Joni Mitchell as well, she's another singer who can give me chills just because parts of her songs are so perfect they frighten me.
