It's a different city and school this time around. It's nice to have a few people I know even if they're not in my city.
It's also nice to not know anyone.
What looms most ominously over my head at the moment is the need to find a place to live. I have one more night in an Airbnb and then....you know, I'll figure it out. Maybe. It’s been a hectic, stressful week trying to find a place to live. Kingston is full of places to live, but most are dingy, dirty, and overpriced. Am I being too picky? Am I being too concerned about who I live with? Probably. But so be it. This is when I realize how nice it really is to know people in England.
The few days before I hopped on the plane to England were full of family, friends, and my dog. To be honest, it’s all a blur now. I celebrated my birthday, had drinks with friends, ate good food with my family, packed and packed and packed. Sigh. It’s all a blur now, isn’t it? So much to remember, so much to miss, but also so much to be done!
There’s been so much walking and emailing and phone calls that I can’t honestly say I’ve thought much about missing my family during the day. At night, when there's nothing to do but let my thoughts swirl in t I miss everyone, but during the day my mind is occupied by the looming fact that I NEED TO FIND A PLACE. Fingers crossed the following week finds me a home. My fingers will be crossed so hard they might break.
Will update more soon. Plenty of things to tell.
Your Broad Abroad,
