OMG! And so the adventure begins!!

 After sweating buckets from trolling around my inhumanly oversized suitcase onto a very busy train, I’m finally sat (at a table seat 😍), excited for this adventure to begin! 

The last 24 hours have been hectic; final zoom calls, last minute Primark runs, rearranging and taking things out of my suitcase so it adheres to the weight limit, saying my final goodbyes to my family and friends (very emosh as I’m missing my grandmas 72nd) …the list could go on…

Every time I go away, whether it be a weekend away in London, or a week by the beach in Turkey, I always seem to get emotional, mainly because of uncertainty; uncertain that something will go wrong at the airport, uncertain that I will miss my flight, uncertain that something bad will happen… but for some strange reason this time, I only feel excitement. Excited to meet the little faces I’ve been looking at via zoom this past week, excited to live and teach abroad in a gorg city, excited to make some incredible memories with people who are in the exact same boat as me! Safe to say, I’m excited!

So as I’m sat on the train, fanning off my sweat from my upper lip, I thought I was ready to relax read my book (It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover is phenom btw) but I just can’t I’m too fidgety with excitement! I’m ready to get stuck in and finally meet everyone and start this adventure, I keep opening my book, putting it down, going on my phone, playing with my hair, taking my jacket off, putting it on again, checking the group chat, I genuinely cannot sit still, I feel bad for the poor man sat across from me who’s deep into a JR Tolkien read :(. 

But anyway, I’ll be arriving at London St Pancras soon to then take a connecting train to Ashford, will hopefully grab a bite to eat if the excitement lets me (did I mention I’m excited 🤔)! 

¡Hasta pronto!
