Globetrotting…
Flatmates are moving out… It’s finally hitting me that my postgrad life in Cambridge UK is coming to an end. Walking into Elsa’s and Shen-Han’s full boxes in the hallway made me want to start packing as well— actually, I’d do anything right now to avoid writing.
I am looking back… and gosh, I’ve traveled a bunch in the past twelve months.

…. this is insane. Why didn’t I sign up for a frequent flyer program? Failed.
What I do know now is that… it’s time for me to settle down— physically and mentally. It’s been a fun, but exhaustive year of globetrotting. I want to start buying and collecting things (i.e. typewriter) without having to worry about “how am I going to fly back home with everything?!” Silly, but it’s true. I am glad that Boston is going to be the place. Why? I won’t feel homesick when I am in Boston…!
