A Different Beginning

Most 17-18 nervous yet adventuresome teenagers go to university after they finish their torturous last year of high school. They get accept, move in to that school and 'happily' start their climb of dept. They spend their first two years at their home university and when they reach their third year they can decide to stretch their bubble by studying abroad. Most universities have that option but what if you could travel abroad in your first year?

That's where my story begins. Instead hoping on the band wagon I made a choice most people wouldn't consider, or at least that what I think. I'm starting my journey by studying in England starting this September. Ever since I read the first Harry Potter novel I had this desire to go to the UK. I wanted to see Hogwarts, get my letter of acceptance and play Quidditch. I fell in love with the magical world JK. Rowling created for everyone and that is also where I become a Harry Potter fan.

 When I was searching and pondering where I wanted to continue my education it took me a while. A long while to be honest until I was confronted with a program where I could travel and study in the country I have been dying to go. I sent in my application and I couldn't tell you how happy I was when I got my acceptance letter. (My mom phoned me about my acceptance and I squealed. I think I scared some people since I was in my high schools cafeteria) 

It's really hard to believe that I will be starting my first year in England but what amps everything by a couple notches is not only will I will be in another country, I will be studying in an ancient castle. It's called The Herstomonceux Castle. This is what it looks like.

Pretty awesome right? My dream is about to begin on the fourth of September where I will leave this country that has been very good to me from the very beginning. I will be honest that it is somewhat difficult to fit all your belongings in only one suitcase. Anyways, now you have it. The starting of a new chapter but an ending of another.
