One Month
I have been absolutely horrible with keeping up with this…
I was planning on posting another day2day..
However…too many days have passed, even if I’ve written it all down.
Maybe I’ll post those descripitions another time.
Today I was able to breathe and take this all in ..
I have been here for a month now.
It feels like a night and it feels like 10 years. there’s no better way of explaining the excitement and the homelieness of it all. I still want to take pictures of my lil room but it doesn’t tend to stay clean..not sure why. HA. and I need to take a second and take a picture of the view from my window. The view that I open my eyes to every morning. Every morning (or afternoon, more likely) when I wake up, I brush away those curtains, open my window and breathe in to make sure that this is still real. There’s no possible way that this is my life, it cannot be possible.
When I look out my window and see the city in the distance, the New Cross Gate train station in clear site, the Hobgoblin beer garden right under my window, and the double deckers passing by the street…this IS my life and I am the luckiest person alive.
I have to wake up in two and a half hours but my eyes don’t want to go to bed.
I am going to York for the weekend with CEA. Four hour bus ride..which is also keeping me from sleeping, bc I want to sleep the whole way on that bus.
There’s nothing I enjoy more than the recaps of everyone’s days at dinner. Even though most of us spent ours together, we let each other know our favorite and least favorite part of our days and that of course leads to hours of conversation at the table (where we spend most of our time..eating..). It’s amazing how much we’ve learned about each other. The ones I’ve known for a matter of 4 weeks … I feel like I’ve known for my entire life. I couldn’t ask for better people to surround myself with.
Thinking about this one month anniversary of being here…
I don’t want to. I don’t want this to be over. It is too good to be true. Too good to be happening to me. Everyone deserves this. It’s far from an escape, but it might as well be.
I miss everyone at home and I’ll be happy to see them all but I cannot imagine going home just yet. I have so much left to do. I’m going to stop thinking about that though, because I still have 2/3 of the way to go. That’s quite some time! I am so excited to see what else happens..
I have fallen in love with London.
It loves me back, I know it.
