Where did the time go?
This summer, for whatever reason, has gone by far quicker than any other. It only feels like yesterday that I was sitting my final undergraduate exam. Next week I start a new course in London.
On the whole I think it's been a good summer - I've had a great holiday, improved my CV, and earned a reasonable amount of cash. Despite this, I feel like there is some big thing that was meant to happen but didn't. Summer just, well, stopped.
Moving to London means leaving the countryside once again. While I can well understand the gradual boredom one experiences when living here for an extended period of time, to my mind it is impossible not to appreciate the calming and refreshing qualities of country life. I love it. Whether it is the stunning landscapes, the warmth of the local people, or the fact that one can walk for miles without hearing a single sound, the countryside will always be home for me.
That said, I'm sure I will find living in London a diverse and valuable experience. Out with the old and in with the new, as they say.
