A strange and familiar feeling is hitting me. It's homesickness, and the reason it's strange is because technically, I am home. I suppose this is what happens when you have more than one home. When you stay in one for too long, inevitably you begin to miss the other. Unfortunately, my other home, England, is … Continue reading Missing Winch
Graduation Day
Today was the day of my graduation ceremony. I missed it. One hazard of going to university in another country. Here's to the friends I made by accident or by design, in class, commons, and societies, instantly or over time. Here's to the sleepovers, and sleepless library nights. Here's to Winchester, it's Cathedral, and … Continue reading Graduation Day
What Happens When You Leave School
I've left two schools in the past six months. One was a typical, happy, graduation kind of leave. The other was a non-typical, special-circumstances kind of leave. There are some things that only happen with the first kind and some things that only happen with the second, and there are a few that happen with both. … Continue reading What Happens When You Leave School
School and Sleep
Okay, okay. I've got some explaining to do. It's actually really simple. I couldn't upload my pictures for some reason or another. And how can I write a post about my new shelves without even showing you my new shelves? Anyhow, I figured I had to write something while I figured out my picture problem. So … Continue reading School and Sleep
Now What?
Well, I don't have any school to go back to in September. I thought I might take some classes but that's not looking like it'll happen until May. I've got a part-time job, but as stated, it's only part-time. So what will I do the rest of the time? Before I started this blog, I … Continue reading Now What?
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
Northern England Day 1 + Weekend
I arrived in Manchester today. Started from the bottom (of England) now we here. Besides a long journey and a quick mini-tour of Manchester, not much has happened. I'm here visiting Pat, whom you might remember from my Oxford post. He and his parents have very kindly let me stay with them for the week and … Continue reading Northern England Day 1 + Weekend
Bournemouth Days 3 and 4
Okay, so that last post was a bit sparse. From Tuesday to Friday, I stayed with my friend Siân in beautiful Bournemouth. As soon as I arrived, we went straight to the beach because it was sunny and the forecast for the rest of the week was pessimistic at best. We got there and I … Continue reading Bournemouth Days 3 and 4
Spring Break
Oh dear, has it been six days already? My break will be over before I know it! Like every university student, the first couple of days after my break were spent in bed with my laptop, just happy to be done. I allowed myself the indulgence, but I'm trying to pick myself back up now. I'm … Continue reading Spring Break
Outstanding
What an incredible day. So today I had my second-last class. It was a celebration with food and stuff and people would go up and read poems or bits of their stories or sing songs they wrote, and we all talked and said goodbye and everything. It was great. I loved it, even though I … Continue reading Outstanding
