Thursday will mark the 2nd month that I have been in England. It honestly feels like it has been 4 months over here already!
I had today off, so I did some things around the house, got myself organized, applied to some more jobs, etc. While applying for jobs, I started applying to some in Canada as well (don't get your hopes up TOO high, mom). I had a...I'll call it a moment...today. Not a moment of wanting to go home, more so a moment of what now? Where did I see myself at 24 - living abroad? no money in the bank? no full time job? So I started assessing myself and where I perhaps "should" be at this point in my life. It's a very free and satisfying feeling being over here, however, I wonder if I am selfish living so far away from my family, friends. Am I wasting precious time being away from them?
So I had to sort to myself out - remember why I am here. I realize I am selfish by being over here, but I am also truly thankful and grateful for the opportunity to be here. How many North Americans get to see Europe in their 20s? I figure this is a once in a lifetime experience and here I am...living it.
On a separate note - I am working 4 days this week, as I am booked in! Woohoo - so glad to know where I am going this week. I will be doing primary all week, which will be a nice change.
It is funny, now that it is getting colder - how my roommates are reacting to the "cold". For instance...tonight, around 5pm I went out to grab some things I needed for dinner, and my roommate Sam, said to me, "why are you going out, its freezing out there!"
Canadians, I am making you proud - while everyone else in Oxford has pulled out their winter coats and winter boots, I am still in my spring coat and trainers. :-)
Much love! xo
