Just a hop, skip & a jump...

...across the Ocean.
So lately it's been a lot of little roadtrips and random mishaps. And now I have moved to England. Leicester, England, where I will be attending the School of Museum studies at the University of Leicester to get my masters.

English life - tea and gardens, TV, nosy neighbours, local pubs, royal families, gossip and ADIDAS. It was all available to me. Fine, to be fair, my neighbours aren't nosy - they're just loud and obnoxious, I don't have a TV, and I zone out whenever anyone talks royalty or celebrity because I just don't know any of the names. I also don't drink tea. But in the time I've been here I have met two British people who don't partake and this has reassured me, although I still hide the fact and politely refuse an offer of a cuppa.

Leicester is not a favourite among anyone in our program buts it's the biggest city I've ever lived in and holds it own few treasures. Its full of trees, used book shops and the novelty of always being within eye distance of a pub calms those who really dislike its commercial feel. The next year is sure to bring surprises as I have no idea where I may end up...
