Changes
It's certainly been a while since I even looked at this thing, and so much has happened in that time. It's so funny to look back at my last post and see how I was wishing what I thought was the impossible. Wishing to go back to Hong Kong for the next school year ... and yet that seeming impossibility is now a reality. I have a teaching job in Hong Kong... I'm gonna be working there for at least two years ... and it all happened so fast I can barely believe it's happening.
Changes are funny things ... I've seen a lot in the past few years ... and I always seem to end up loving them ... but there is always a part of me that wants to hang on to what I know... to what is familiar. I got such a sense of that today. It was the last day of lectures at Homerton, and as it all came to an end I found myself wanting to stay just a little bit longer ... not quite wanting to end this part of my life quite yet. I'm so excited to be going off to Hong Kong, it's what I've wanted for so long... and yet I'm gonna miss here. Cambridge is a complete world of its own. Life here, especially as a student, is a life in a weird kind of twilight zone. It's not really reality. But it is fun.
It's been a great couple of weeks what with Bumps and May week (though I still think having May week in June is a daft idea!) ... and most importantly of all the finishing of the final placement ie getting our lives back.
Tomorrow marks the end of my time as a Cambridge student though ... it really is all over and then it's just packing, saying good byes, church mission week (so,so,so excited about that one!) and spending some final time at home in Cornwall before flying. Before going back to Hong Kong. Whew. Wow. It's actually happening!!!
