So I'll be honest with you and with myself.
My gut feeling, my natural draw, etc. is to
reunite with London.
Maybe it's because my time with London was too short and I couldn't truly explore every museum, every park, every place, every market like I wanted to...
But it seems right?
I can picture myself commuting to school,
establishing connections with fellow students and making
London a second home.
What do I really want from this experience?
I want a second home on the globe. A place to return to with local friends and "family" and environment, etc.
Is it as culturally different than say...Prague? Or Thailand? Or South Africa?
Nope. But will I neglect ever visiting or staying in those places? Also a no.
The new program I'm interested in is
London Now through Arcadia University.
It offers courses at a few London schools and has opportunities for internships and volunteer work.
It also has art and photography programs, more-so than the Prague program.
I had to "throw out" Melbourne (SADLY) because I realized it wasn't a Partner-Program at Chapman, and I'd have to pay the full-tuition.
Does it feel like London is a "cop-out"? Yes. Do I feel guilty? Yes.
But really...if I'm drawn to this city. If I feel I have unfinished business with this city that could potentially be a 2nd home for me...why say no?
No final decision yet.
I still have a few questions to ask the study abroad office tomorrow during their walk-in hours.
But that's where I'm leaning.
So you know.
