Kristin's adventures abroad

Last post from Londontown

Well, as I sit here in my box filled room, waiting for my Dad to arrive, I am filled with a variety of emotions. I am sad because I have had to say a really hard good-bye. I don't know if I will ever see this person, again, it reminds of the last line in Shakespeare's play Love's Labours Lost " you this way, us that way"- or something to that effects. Good-byes really suck, and I have had to say a few too many, but it's part of life. It's always bittersweet closing one chapter of our lives, sad to be leaving, but hopeful as we write new chapters. This morning, I was having some serious doubts about whether I would actually be able to go through with this. I kept on thinking, who's girl genius idea was it for me to move to Europe not knowing a soul? No one told me it was going to be this hard. I still kind of think that, but I know it will be fine. I am excited, but it has just been overshadowed with the saddness, and the stress of moving. Because on top of figuring otu what I need in Europe, I have to pack up everything else. I am much more relaxed now too, because the place is offically all packed up excepted for my phone, and my computer. Although I must say although I heard my mothers voice in my head telling me to pack light, not as easy as it sounds. Plus I think I had a really good sign. I have a necklace that I bought in Stratford last fall with Sarah, and it has a celtic charm for good fortune. It's been lost since June, and wouldn't you know it, on my last day I found it while packing, hiding behind my alarm clock? So very happy. I will really miss London, when I get back from Europe, I think I will move here. I love it here, this place is home to me now, and it has been good to me. I really cherish the new friends I have made here, and hope will we remain friends. So I guess there is really nothing to say but so long, far well, auf wiedersen, good-bye. Until we meet again.

    Thats nice Kristin, I know how you feel completely.
    But doing crazy things like you are doing, is a big part of life that only certain brave people can understand! Look around, most people are in their comfort zone and dont ever want to leave Canada and you are conquering the world! That is such an awesomeo thing you are doing! You should be proud!!!
