One year ago I was transferring away from a hick state school in the middle of the US and getting out of a blah relationship. Everything was ordinary and bland. Now I live in England with my wonderful Italian boyfriend and will finish my degree in this country. England is my link to the rest of the world in a serious way. Stupid little things here even seem neat because they havent been the stupid little things that Ive known my entire life!! The last 6 months have been so insane that you could say that I changed everything in 6 months and a week or so. I didnt change myself, I changed the rest of my life.
