Looking for a clearingIt’s been quite stereotypically rainy and grey in London this past week, and while it’s great on the one hand — because you’re forced to stay indoors and get things done — it’s not so great on the other — because you just want to cuddle up in blankets, have naps, sip hot chocolate, and watch movies (ie. in my case, not rush to the finish line of completing an MA in four weeks!). But, even though it’s daunting to think of all the work ahead, it’s also amazing to be able to see the end of — and overall big picture of — this MA journey more clearly than ever before. The rhythm of the past eleven months has become quite familiar and comforting, which in itself probably a sigh that it’s time to embrace a little change of pace…

How far we’ve come
There is just over one month left to complete my MA, and this photo above — of our inspiration wall in our flat currently — compared to our photo of the same wall in February, makes me realize just how much time has passed… And, how much we’ve seen, grown, collected, learned, shared, and loved (and continue to!) while here in London.

Where would you like to wake up?

I think my answer pretty much goes without saying…

Tourist in your own city
Our culture day this past Saturday proved to be a great success, and left us ready and recharged to tackle the week; reminding me again of how important it is to step back from what you’re doing, no matter what. I hope this momentum keeps up!
