My parents have lived in America for 7 years now this summer. I spent the first two years there, then had two years at school in England, then had my gap year back in America, and have been back in England since at university.
I came back to England, because i couldn’t stand America, but now, with me going home in 2 weeks for Easter, i’m starting to think that maybe i wish i had stayed in America. I don’t know why, and can’t explain it at all, but all i want to do now is get out of England and go back to America.
My brother is at university in America and last year we went around a couple of American universities. When we went to The University of Arizona, i said to my parents that it was probably a good thing i didn’t look at American universities, because i wouldn’t have know whether to go to England or America.
Now i love England, and i love my university and i love (okay that’s a little strong)… i like my friends here… but i can’t help thinking i made the wrong mistake in not even allowing myself to look at American universities!
But oh well… there isn’t really anything i can do about it right now. It’s going to have to wait for 3 years when i will have finished university.
But i always said that the only reason i ever used to go to America was to go home, but i can seriously see myself going back after university to live there, by myself.
Oh how people change!
