Time has flown by. After many hours spent in the library, major essays written, and many cups of coffee consumed later, I finished my academic semester last Friday!
3 Exams, 2 Essays, and 1 stress filled week. But, studying here has been an unforgettable experience and I wouldn’t change anything about it. I am so grateful for the friendships that I have made here and the people that I have become close with.
It was about a quarter into my stay here where I had a moment of realisation, that I have made a home away from home here and that I have become very comfortable in the community of friends that I have met.
I have enjoyed sharing my pictures with friends and family through social media and one evening, one of my social media savvy friends came up with a fun and clever hashtag. #SightseeingStringer. haha!
I have a little under 2 months left of my stay and as I am making the most of it and preparing myself to return to the states, it feels so strange because for the past six months, I have made this place my home. I have been so lucky to find a group of people who have welcomed me into their lives and that I have become close with. I found a routine and was even invited to go to a church with friends each Sunday as well. All things that have made my stay here unforgettable.
However, I am excited for the plans that I have for these coming weeks and I am so excited for my family to come at the end of June to travel England with me!
#SightseeingStringer still has more to see and do.
