London[England]

So..I can go anywhere in the world to study for six months..

This is such a difficult question for me to answer. I think if you asked me tomorrow my decision would be a different one due to constant changing interests, but as of right now, I would study in London. I know the culture is very similar to ours here in the states, but the differences fascinate me. The smallest nuances, the daily routines, the language, government and it's history, the fashion and music..I would love to be able to soak all of that in and just be in it.

Spending that amount of time in London would require some packing obviously. However, I wouldn't mind going with nothing in my hands. There's something very rewarding in letting go of one's possessions. Almost as if the less baggage you bring into a situation, the more you can recieve in terms of learning and growth? I guess for myself..letting go of the physical helps a lot in terms of the emotional..but that's another response entirely. Okay. Camera. iPod. Acoustic guitar. Laptop. An endless supply of notebooks and pens. I can't leave any place for an extended amount of time without the book "Skinny Bitch". Don't be fooled by it's "diet craze" marketing scheme! I'd recommend checking it out if you're interested in animal rights, veganism, enviromentalism, and the constant controversy that surrounds the USDA. So much for packing light. As far as my interests being translatable in England..again, it'd be a fairly easy transition because the American culture is so similar at times. I have a friend Claire from London who I met through the internet..and we get on just fine.
