It was those 3 words that saved my life

Repost from 7/12/09

And countdown has commenced. It's exactly 1 week today where I will be on my way to Cape Town aka home. At this point I am shitting balls if you excuse my French but it's probably the best way to describe how I am feeling. After a successful and fantabulistikiss time in London for nearly 2 years, I'm on my way home. 

Snow snaps

I've probably said this before but I'm super excited for the future with 2 job interviews lined up and hopefully another one at the creative division of my old work (holding thumbs for that one), so we will definitely see. Family, friends, lifestyle, sea rescue and hockey (at this point being persuaded out of retirement by a few people) and a new job. What could be better?

So, random checklist of what I'm super chuffed with over my London experience:

• Independence - learned that I can do things for myself
• Lived in my own flat - with 2 other friends and didn't burn the house down. Only victims were my clothes
• Challenging job in the digital industry - check :)
• Make a British friend - well that wasn't a goal but definitely have a lifelong friendship with my friend from my work 
• Travel - check: Paris, Amsterdam, sailing around Greece & Turkey, Dublin, United Kingdom
• London baby, the entire nightlife and cultural experience
• Play hockey and quit on the same day - that was definitely a first
• Go out to sea and River Thames with the RNLI
• Movie premieres
• Walk through Leicester Sq & Piccadilly Circus at night - spectacular when you realise where you are
• See the Queen - Yes, twice in one week
• Create a family/community out of school and university friends where we all lived. Really amazing

These are just pointers that are quite important to me but really happy with and now have in my back pocket to move forward on my new adventure.

So, whatever that may be? Bring it on!

OT:

This trailer looks awesome: Dear John

And the song from the title is Cheryl Cole ft Will.I.Am - 3 Words - which is
