28 Days: All Good Things Come to an End



Well ladies and Gents,

My British adventure comes to an end in. I move back in 28 short days. 

Time here has been a learning and growing experience. School has given me a new perspective on my expectations for children. Living in another country has shown me a different way of life. There have been so many people that I am grateful I met. And some people I am wholly grateful will be 3,799 miles away. Both types of people have taught me more about myself than I expected. 

I have learned to trust my instincts and that I am stronger than I knew. Moving to a new country alone took more courage than I thought I would ever have. It paid off. 

I have a lot to do between now and then. I need to sell everything I can't bring back. I need to clean my house and pack. I have to work on my dissertation and a re-submission. 

I have come up with a bucket list of things I want to do before I leave, as it will be a really long time before I will make it across the pond again. 


1. I want to go to Harry Potter Studios

Harry Potter consisted of most of my childhood. I loved reading because I loved these books. The first book came out in  June 1997, I was just over 4. And the last Harry Potter film (of the original series) came out July 2011, which is just over 6 weeks after I graduated from high school. Needless to say it has been a huge influence on my life. Sentimental as I am it made the top of the list

2. I want to go to Rhossili Bay, at Sunset, on my last Sunday here

This was one of the first beaches I went to in Wales. If you haven't been down the Gower make it a priority. This beach has been in the top 10 most beautiful beaches in the WORLD and top in the UK, as of 2014. I would love to take photos to commemorate the end of an era. 

3. Kaspa's

It is a dessert bar and has been the place I go to celebrate. The local one had some health code issues but maybe I will find a different... or just risk it.

4. Hike Pen-y-Fan

This is the highest peak  in South Wales. And I want to take a place with the marker.

Time is winding down quickly. 

What am I doing next?

I don't completely know yet but....
I am ready for my next step and a new adventure!

So now I can say lets adventure and:
