(no subject)
I've been working hard on forgetting the undergrad that I had a hopeless crush on for the first half of this year and I think I've just - about - managed, to my great relief.
Exams are finished as of last Thursday, which means I'm now just dicking around in Germany until 15th October when I fly home. While in London I was staying with a friend and had a conversation with a couple of her housemates one night, one of whom had just returned from Australia. She, like me, has travelled a hell of a lot, but is currently planning to stay in London (or at least the UK) for as long as she can manage. Apparently this is because of a conversation she had with another friend who said that the hardest thing you can do, sometimes, is stay exactly where you are. It's too easy to just say 'sod this' and then pick up and go when things start to get on your nerves (like the weather, or the people, or the traffic, or the job, or a million other things). And then you never put down roots anywhere.
The words struck a chord with me, and I'm thinking of staying in Florida for a while and seeing how things go.
