Wonderful, wonderful.
January come I will be headed to Washington where I'll be thrown insight into the big U.S's mind on education (CWU, show me what you've got!), where I'll greet opportunities to wander and explore. 6 months of clutching my plans of lust to a disproportionately minute suitcase and a wallet lacking the generosity I require. Of days spent in conversation with myself, strangers and the characters of a well chosen novel. Of days spent rushing because I am lost and terrified. Of breathing a different kind of oxygen that expands my lungs and fills my feet with the capacity to run for days. Of learning how to pronounce words I do not know and learning to taste the flavour of foreign. Of discomforting sleeps in scratchy beds and carrying my life in a suitcase threatening to cripple under pressure. And even when wheels stop rolling and handles snap, I'll still be quite pleased. Such is my euphoria.
