At some point in the recent past, it seemed like a good idea to leave the motherland and explore a whole new world. Well, that was the past.
Two weeks into London and I must say, the experience is almost living up to what I had imagined in my mind this place would be. To some extent, I wish someone had told me just how massive this place is. In my opinion, I think Greater London should just be curved off the map of London and be renamed. I swear, the number of people living here, simply amazing!!
I look back at my America experience and for some strange reason, I felt more at home there. Naperville was wonderful. I think my room mates had something to do with it. Maybe the proximity of my room to class made me take advantage of the snooze button on my phone.
Now I am here. My snooze button has been highly inactive due to the distance I have to cover to make it on time to school. 4 years of undergraduate with my 4 hour commute did not quite have the toll these 2 hours are having.
Nonetheless, as one of my classmates said, since there is nothing we can do about the current situation, complaining would be a waste of time. So, I'll continue to wallow in my thoughts and hope that somehow, somewhere and some time, this will start to feel like home.
