Activity Journal

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

Activity #1 Westminster Abbey and The Tower of London

Today was the first official day of our time here in London! Still, a bit jet lagged, we started our time here at one of London’s most famous churches, Westminster Abbey or the Collegiate Church of St. Peter at Westminster. Many know this location as the place where many royals have celebrations such as coronations and weddings. In my most recent memory, I remember all of the excitement when Prince William and Kate Middleton got married at that exact spot. So as I roamed the great size of the church, I looked at all of the magnificent details on all of the tombs, craving, and statuary. The stained glass was also breathtaking and detailed depicting many monarchs and religious figures. However, my favorite part of the Westminster Abbey was the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. It showed that no matter what class you were you would still be judged just the same under the eyes of God.

After the trip to Westminster Abbey, we went to see the Tower of London. It housed many precious items such as the Royal Crown Jewels, the armory, and torture devices also known as instruments of persuasion. As I walked through the castle I realized how important their history and tradition was. The monarchy is very devout to their traditions with many dating back hundreds of years. An extension of this would be the Yeomen or Beefeaters, who can be seen safeguarding the crown jewels. Originally my original impression of the Beefeaters was that they were people who were dressed in traditional garb to simulate the past uniform style, but when I asked a lady from information, she informed me that they were highly trained ex-military. This was very surprising and added greatly to my experience. After the first day of actives in London, I was very exhausted but also still very excited to see what was in store for me in the upcoming weeks.

Think of this process as building a platform or a case that will help you make particular claims and conclusions through your project milestones.
