So, 2 weeks from Monday I'll officially be a Londoner....well, sort of. Well actually not really at all but I like to think of myself that way b/c it's slightly more exotic than my current status of Dartmouthian. It's going to be fun, stressful I'm sure with lots of work and I can't wait! It will not only be fulfilling a long held dream of mine but it will also be the first time living on my own. I mean it's only for a month and it's in a dorm but still!
That should be interesting and a good crash course for (hopefully!) this time next year...It's gotten me thinking though about this year and all the changes involved...I feel like life is really coming into another chapter...that I've really matured and will continue to a lot over the next year or so. First of all, two of my close friends will be moving to Europe themselves, effectively breaking up our little group a little bit...I'll be finishing my PR degree before Christmas (if all goes as planned) and consequently looking for a "real" job and (again, hopefully) moving out! Of course you never know what can happen but that's a lot of changes in a short period of time. I feel like the next year will be a defining time in my life.
I will finally feel like a grownup - living on my own and working, hopefully finding someone to share that with. I feel like this is the start of the rest of my life to use a horrible cliche (hey, it suits the situation).It's scary but also exciting and liberating. It will remain to be seen if things turn out at least close to my expectations (and it's been my experience that life never usually does) but I'm confident that I'll be carving out a great spot for myself in life and society - finding my niche.
FYI you can follow this carving process (or at least the start of it...the chipping if you will) on this blog as I'll be posting my daily (or at least every few daysy) experiences along with photos (if I can figure out the technicalities of posting them by then...haven't had good experience there so far). I won't be taking my cherished laptop so we'll see how well these updates actually go but feel free to write your comments and read to your heart's content - or don't. May 14th to June 16th will be the time to tune in and who knows maybe you'll witness some stunning revelations. Though more than likely there will be nothing more than drunken stories and funny tourist mishaps...but hey, those are the important things in life anyway....the adventures ;)
