Changing My Blogs Name

I decided to change the name of my blog, My travels and Then Some sounded so generic and boring. My Travels Through Life seemed to fit better. Aside from the fact that I have traveled and will travel more I realized that I've learned so much about places and myself. Changing is a part of who we are and who we will be. I look at myself at who I was in high school and I don't recognize who that girl was, a quiet person who blended in but wanted to do so much more. I haven't reached my full potential but I do know who I am, and I may be still learning, but isn't that what life is about, to learn who you are and what you want to do?

I never thought I would live in London, but i'm going to and i'll hopefully do more traveling over there, hopefully as much as I can, within budget. I've fallen into a monotonous void here and I know it's time to move on, I just feel lucky that I get this opportunity to not only study in London, but to travel around Europe, when I can. Meeting new people who are interested in travel and interested in art or photography is going to be interesting and fun (Interesting is the word of the day). There are so many feelings going into this that I can only comprehend some and figure out the rest. 2 months and 16 days till I leave and I still need to get a move on some things but I know I will.

Stages

Everyone goes through stages in their life, it may not be obvious but we all do at one time or another. For example high school was a stage in my life, but I was so over it by the time I graduated I was ready to move on. What did I end up doing? I ended up moving over 400 miles away from home to attend college in New Mexico, at Eastern New Mexico University. I moved to a small town where I didn't know a single person, however as time went on I joined a sorority, Chi Omega, I worked a great college job, I had fun in my core classes. I learned a lot about myself, and that's no easy feat. I was ready to move on even before finals started, I was sick of college, I wanted something else. It lead me to the stage I am in now, the transitional stage. In the two years since I graduated college (has it really been that long?) i've learned so much about myself and who I can be. I was tutoring in esl, however it didn't work out due to too many reasons to explain here. I am still trying to get to yoga classes, hopefully something I can continue when i'm in London, who knows.  My next stage is London/Master's Degree, I am so ready, even if I am moving over 4,000 miles away to attain a degree, I put this on myself.

I finally got the CAS number from Sotheby's so I am finally able to begin applying for my student visa, beyond that I have no idea what else I will be doing, oh I know i'm probably flying to London on or around August 16, one day before my birthday, but that's all. I also got financial aid but not the scholarship from Sotheby's, so i'm still looking for scholarships, which isn't easy, since the school is in the U.K., i've been looking for overseas scholarships, so far nothing. I'm meeting, well emailing back and forth with interesting people, two of which are from the Denver area in Colorado, the others all live either on the East Coast, in Europe or I saw one person from Australia. I have 3 months to figure things out and it's probably going to be the 3 hardest before I move to a city that i've been to before but i'm not at all familiar with (gee I think i've done that before)
