When I first left for England, my little brother was nine years old. Today, he's twelve. Time flies, doesn't it? I was 18 and had never left the country alone before, had never been to Europe before, and had never lived on my own before. Here I am on the other side having travelled to Paris … Continue reading My Brother’s Birthday
A Day in Brighton
On Saturday I went to Brighton for a friend's birthday and it was great. It was a bit of an overcast day, but let's be real, this is England. Even though the word "bright" is literally in the name, they probably meant it metaphorically. We went to the beach first and walked, looking at art and … Continue reading A Day in Brighton
Touring Winchester
It's officially tourist season in Winchester. There are school groups from France with maps and workbooks and retired people from North America wearing socks with sandals and their khaki bucket hats. It was a nice enough day and although I've been here for three years, I've got less than a month left so I figured, … Continue reading Touring Winchester
Starting Again
I hope you all had a good weekend! Without work or university and with all my friends already leaving for other cities and countries, I've had to find my own reasons for leaving my room. On Sunday there was the Craft Market, the last one I'll be in town for, so I went to look at … Continue reading Starting Again
Ups and Downs
Well that will teach me to ever complain about being bored ever again. How dare I. I've had the most eventful past several days I have ever had. Some crazy things have happened. Lots of ups and downs. Being insanely busy with this stuff has meant I haven't updated you guys for a week, so … Continue reading Ups and Downs
Bored
I got really bored today, which scares me because if I can't deal with one day in Winchester without university work, how am I going to deal with A WHOLE MONTH??? It's not like I wasn't doing anything. I met up with a friend, took a walk around town, took a cliché picture of myself … Continue reading Bored
What A Week
What a week it's been. And here I thought the biggest thing this week would be that I've finally finished university. No more assignments due. No more reason to be here except that my flight doesn't leave for another month. I've never wanted to be home while still in Winchester as much as I do now. Travelling … Continue reading What A Week
Outfit of the Week: The Student
The weather is getting warmer, but not quite warm enough to go jacket-less yet. I like this outfit for the girly-rocker vibe and it would work for casual wear or as a fancier outfit. This outfit could easily be dressed up with some heels, a neutral lipstick, and maybe a different necklace. You probably can't … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: The Student
Northern England Day 4
I'm back in Winchester now, and this post is late because I got back early yesterday morning and went straight to bed. My last day up north was spent in Manchester. By the way, I promised a photo of Pat's cat. Here it is: I didn't take too many photos of Manchester because a lot of … Continue reading Northern England Day 4
Northern England Day 3
Today we went to Chester, a historic city with a beautiful cathedral and an old wall. Well, it's got a bit more than that, but if you were to boil it down, those are the main things. We also visited a museum and saw the remains of the Roman colosseum and bath house. There were … Continue reading Northern England Day 3
