Activity Journal

The activity journal represents an ongoing log of reflections gained through each and every project activity on the calendar.


Westminster Hall and the Tower of London

Today, we explored the Westminster Hall and the Tower of London. This was extraordinarily exciting for me because I am very interested in buildings and their history and architecture. Since my milestones are about the culture and affect of nature on buildings and vice versa, today fit perfectly into helping get a better grasp on my topics. I am also a very devout Christian, not a Catholic though, so it was incredible to see one of the world's most famous churches. It was much different than I thought: not architecturally but I was surprised by the amount of people. I knew it was a huge tourist location, but I thought it still functioned as more of a church rather than an exhibition hall. This, of course, shouldn't have been a surprise because consumerism and tourism is taking over some of the most incredible cities and locations on the planet. Even then, I thought there would be more reference to the religion of Christianity and less to the people buried there or the marriages that happened there. Again, this is a ignorance on my part because the target demographic is not Christians seeking more knowledge and a closer relationship to God, but rather tourists who will make the owners and the city money that really care more about the people buried there and its history. All in all, it was still an incredible tour and they definitely know how to do their job and provide an excellent and immersive experience for tourists of all shapes, sizes, and ages.

Although I was familiar with Westminster Hall, I honestly had no idea what the Tower of London actually meant. I had heard the name, but never done any research on it. Because of this, I literally assumed it was a large tower that was historically important. I was half-right. The Tower of London is an incredibly fascinating place with more history than I could have imagined. I realize that I didn't grow up on English history, but I do feel that this should have been mentioned at least once. Walking around the walls and seeing what the people would have seen at the time, minus the modern buildings, was absolutely incredible. And then going from there to immediately seeing the Crown Jewels was an experience I won't forget. Honestly, seeing the jewels wasn't about seeing such large, expensive jewels, but more because I am very intrigued by all of the conspiracy theories. People come up with the most insane ideas, but yet still somehow make them make sense. It fascinates me that people can be so detailed, that they can create a "logical" story from the tiniest details with the weirdest conclusions. They even made a whole video game series on it! Who does that!? In the end, seeing all of these different monuments and memorials and items, was absolutely amazing and a great way to start the term.

Activity #2 Name

A paragraph for your personal reflection for another activity on our calendar goes here, just it was outlined in the previous example. Repeat this same process for the remaining activities. Whenever there's an activity on the calendar, complete an activity journal reflection. You can make it easy for your advisors to give you a high grade for your journal entries by ensuring that they are thoughtful and reflective with regard to your project milestones. Don't make the mistake of assuming that your activity and your milestone are automatically unrelated just because one relates to art or music (for example) and one relates to another theater or history; part of the activity immersion as to experience the overlap of London-based culture. There are numerous ways that specific elements of one discipline influence elements in another. In your journal entries, note these connections as best as you can be explicit when mentioning articles that you contribute to and create.
