September 2015 | Recap
September was a big month for me. A really big month. I became an expat, started a Masters degree, learned to cook bacon…big things people.
SEPTEMBER IN EXPAT LIFE…
- I moved across the world exactly one month ago. Just me, a suitcase, an oversized backpack, and a mountain of stress.
- I walk down to the ocean almost every day after I’m in class 8-5. Still pinching myself.
- I live in a city of 500,000 people, have a daily commute, complete with bus transport. We’re not in Gambier, Ohio anymore, y’all.
SEPTEMBER TASTED LIKE…
- COFFEE. BECAUSE GRAD SCHOOL.
- I’m a terrible cook. Most of the words my housemates say to me are “SARAH ARE YOU EATING CURRY AGAIN”
- I can’t stop eating these.
SEPTEMBER READ LIKE…
- I’ve been reading this YA spy series to reboot my brain from English major mode that destroyed reading for fun.
- This Pablo Neruda poem about tomatoes, and so much more than tomatoes.
SEPTEMBER ADVENTURED LIKE…
- Besides, you know, moving across the world, I haven’t done any major travel.
- I had some day trips into Dorset and Exeter, house sat a gorgeous bungalow in Topsham, explored Plymouth, and did a hike in Cornwall.
- I’ve got my sights set on this adventure park, and this £23 flight to Dublin.
SEPTEMBER SOUNDED LIKE…
- Ukuleles. Because I am joining a ukulele society!
SEPTEMBER MANTRAS…
