Where do I Begin?

I haven't blogged in forever, mostly because I'm just having too much fun here, hehe. Also, let's not forget the fact that I'm in my final semester of school. There are quite a few academic differences as well. So I've kept myself busy writing crazy long essays.

Lots of things to update.

First off, something is wrong with my Microsoft excel. I really want to update my worksheets to find out how much I am spending on different things/categories so I know where to reign it in. So far I'm relying on sheets of paper taped to my wall to track my spending. I'll probably do it on one of the school computers later.

Secondly, I feel kind of useless cause I'm not making money while I'm here. I worked for the last two years on and off during school so I could make enough money to come here. And now that I don't have a steady paycheck it's bumming me out. But that's what lovely scholarships are for! I just recently won another one. How I'll be able to cash the cheque while I'm over here in England is another thing for me to figure out.

Something I've wanted to do is post a couple of the costs for things here. What's cheaper or more expensive compared to Canada. Cultural differences with regards to materialism as well. I will get around to that sometime.

I'm off to visit a couple different cities (four or five) in the next two weeks or so. Not doing too much traveling. Most students are going crazy traveling around here but I'd like to take my time since I'm in no rush to get back to Canada.

Last but not least is that I am debating whether or not to temporarily move to another country before going home. I'm really loving the Spanish language so it'd be nice to go to Spain to live for awhile. I considered moving to France but quite a few people made a good point: why not move to Quebec for awhile? You'll be closer to home than France, and you'll be able to work. Plus it won't be that expensive. So, decisions to make.
