So, I have an offer. Masters at Derby University in Applied Theatre and Education, I’ve heard the course is amazing. Finally, an offer. My undergraduate degree finishes in 10 days and I can honestly say, the last three years – although at times – testing – they have been the most wonderful of my life and I wouldn’t swap it for the world.
So, I have a nice long summer and finally I get to go to Mexico. I shall travel solo and last week I did an “Experience flight” from Gatwick to get me used to travelling on a plane again. And now I can’t wait to get in the air. I intend to meet new people, make lots of new friends as well as appreciating a different culture. For 2 and a half months of conservation work, get a suntan and no assignments! Yay! Blue seas and white sands or watching “The Chase” with mom, easy choice I think. I’ll miss my kids, but zoom is good.
As Mark Twain said and I quoted in my last assignment and before I embark on my next adventure, I leave you with this: “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than the things that you did do. So throw away the bow lines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Enough said. Enjoy life, whenever possible. Alison.
