Mainly because I know that this particular season in my life, in London is drawing to a close, for a reason, and definitely with purpose.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#663333;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#663333;\">If only I could get my butt into gear about getting my gear together. Things to do&#8230;<br \/>\n1.) Book flight home<br \/>\n2.) Organise stuff to ship home<br \/>\n3.) Organise getting new person to take over my room<br \/>\n4.) Do a little more travel<br \/>\n5.) Possibly find a Temp Job paying more<br \/>\n6.) See all the places I still want to see in London<br \/>\n7.) Spend quality time with my nearest and dearests<br \/>\n8.) Stop procrastinating!<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#663333;\">Feels kind of weird to know I&#8217;m going home. It takes me back to two years ago when I realised I was finally going to London. I remember that it hit quite hard , but there was a sense of peace and definite excitement about it. Going home, definitely has that feel to it, which is why I am more than confident that I am progressing to a new season. I am soo going to miss a fair few people. They know who they are. Without these significant people in my life here in London, my stay would not have been as fruitful&#8230;for some as CHALLENGING! =)<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#663333;\">I feel so incredibly blessed to have had this opportunity. To have had the support I&#8217;ve had to follow this dream of mine of coming to London for as long as I can remember. It wasn&#8217;t just me that got me here, but my Family and Friends who have done nothing but encourage a dream, I never thought I was brave enough to reach. Almost two years later, so much has changed, and I hope that I have changed for the better, that I have become perhaps a little wiser. A little more responsible, with a better vision for what I want in the years ahead. I feel that in the last year or so new dreams have formed and new goals have been set. I thank God daily for the clarity he provides not only when I need it most, but most of the time I am able to decipher, and with the prominent people he has placed in my life, I receive confirmations.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#663333;\">I know that when I go home, it&#8217;s not going to be as I have left it. It would be naive and somewhat silly to think that the lives I left behind would be the same, that friendship would be the same, relationships&#8230;in many ways, I almost hope not. I plan to come back with the intention of new beginnings. In saying that, it&#8217;s nice to know that there is at least one friendship that hasn&#8217;t changed, you know who you are. It?s awesome to see that despite the time and distance, I am still a part of your world. That means more than you could ever possibly imagine. I appreciate that you didn&#8217;t put our friendship on hold for my return to just pick up when I came back! For sharing the changes from your world and mine as they happen. Ta Matey!<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#663333;\">This weekend Ashe and I are going to hang out and just chill. We&#8217;re going to Leatherhead to &#8216;Mary&#8217; and then head back to mine for some Vegies (haha) and a lot of Dawsons Creek! Yay! Next weekend Ashe and I are doing the whole Roomie thing again at her house, and Saturday evening Nibs and I are going to hang out with Grumpy to celebrate his SURVIVING his 7 hour exam! Should be fun!<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#663333;\">The weekends ahead are certainly filling up quickly, and I cannot comprehend how fast time is passing by! I am doing my outmost to make the most of it. Seeing people, and spending time with friends. Seeing places. I am truly enjoying hanging out with J &#038; C. They are my saving graces at work, for without them, I would be rocking myself back and forth in a corner! =) Thanks for the laughter guys?Paris is going to sooo ROCK! Mental note to J &amp; E, throw C into the pool!<br \/>\n<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/608\/2069\/200\/animaniacs.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#663333;\">Well, with only 20 minutes to go, I think I&#8217;ll sign off.
