This process with Kingston has been so...simple?
I can't really find the word to describe it...
I was telling one of my friends that it seems a bit too easy. Am I missing something? I know it's very early in the game to do anything really but it just seems like I'm doing nothing whilst my new life is waiting to be prepared.
I've likened this time to the moment when you've stepped into your seat on a roller coaster. You strap yourself into the harness and wait for it to move. There's that nervous excitement rumbling in your belly, your hands are shaking, you're smiling but you're also completely out-of-your-mind terrified. You've heard about this ride; it's fast. Very fast. Something you've never experienced before.
That's where I am right now. Waiting for the ride.
I know I can't ever fully prepare for my life in England but I know that it will be exciting and something I have never experienced before.
As far as what I'm doing currently, I am preoccupying my time with preparing my soul for the return of my best friend from Ireland! She's coming back home on the 17th and I couldn't be more excited! Additionally, I am preparing for Christmas which I have done no shopping for...
AND I'm preparing for my first trip to Europe in January!!
Yes, on the 7th of January I will be hopping on a plane to Dublin to spend time with the same best friend who is coming home in a week. I will be in Europe for 2 weeks during which I will fly to London and visit Kingston! Hopefully I catch a tour or I'll just do my own browsing? Then I fly to Paris simply because I need to. I can't be in Europe and not go to Paris. I mean, honestly...
So that's where I am as of yet. Let me know where you are in your application process! I'm interested to hear what's going on with you! We're all in this together after all. :)

Hey there, congratulations on your offer to Kingston! Looking forward to reading more of your journey. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! :)
DeleteI am actually so envious of you - your mother congratulated you! When I got an offer from Queen's my mother was anxious and my father, angry. They insist that travelling is a bad idea - and I'm 24 dude! I'm happy for you but hating you so much right now! lol. good luck.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That's terrible! I'm so sorry they did that. Hopefully they will properly come to terms with your acceptance. That being said, I'm sure it's not easy having to live in that type of environment over something that should be celebrated!
