Famous Last Words

Well, these aren't really my last words, and they probably won't become famous...but the countdown is down to zero and that means I'm moving to London today. Words can't really describe how I feel...everything just feels surreal for now.

When I was a kid I used to love flying. I think the quote was, "I just love the whole flying experience." Although flying has lost a bit of it's lustre I guess I was destined for it. (Fortunately today I can take my book and an iPod.)

When I was finishing grad school I contemplated whether to stay in Cincinnati or move to Asia to teach English. Obviously I decided on Cincinnati and I know this was where I was supposed to be. But it looks like I was destined to live in another country either way- sorry Mom.

Plus, I've always thought it would be cool to live in a big city like New York for at least a year, just for the experience of it. Needless to say, it's all coming together. This is going to be an adventures. I think the excitement of it will carry me through for awhile until it all hits me. I won't have internet access for a week or so once I arrive but I'll try to find a coffee shop so I can post something sooner.

Cheers.
