so maybe i should write something

About the huge change: new country, new city, new uni, new lifestyle, new responsibilities, new church, new friends, and the million opportunities out there to do just about everything anyone wishes to experience, achieve, or simply to try out.

It has kept me busy, constantly on my toes, afraid, in a way, to either miss out on a chance to see or do something, or to become absorbed, to be entirely engrossed in doing everything else aside from the reason for me being here – that is, to learn.

Discovering the city and what it has to offer has been fascinating, I love the convenient location, giving one access beyond the boundaries, bringing me closer to what was once halfway around the world. The prospect of having everything at your doorstep is exciting, making you tremble with anticipation at the thought of taking a short weekend trip to a country nearby, or a day trip to the many vibrant and beautiful places scattered throughout the UK.

Yet, there’s still so many other places on my “to-go” list. I hope life gives me the chance to visit them all one day.

Right now, I’m sitting in the laundry room, on a comfy couch with my flatmate. Trying to study. I should. Although, thanks to IB I find things pretty easy going for now. And thinking. Of how everything has changed. I couldn’t have imagined how things could have turned out. And its been great.
