I can't wait for...

I keep having mixed feelings for this exchange - I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm also a bit scared of leaving home. Of course, I already live alone, so it won't be as difficult to leave than if I still lived with my parents. However, I want to stay positive, so here's a few things that I'm especially looking forward to (in no particular order):

1. Speaking and getting by in English. I want to be able to feel like a local, although I imagine my accent will always give me away!

2. Having easy access to KitKats. It's unfortunately difficult to get them in Finland, so every time I go to England, I bring back a hearty amount.

3. Buying bedding for my room and making it look like mine. They don't provide pillows, duvets, or sheets, so once I get there, I'll have some shopping to do! This is seriously one of the things I'm most excited about...

4. Being close(r) to my boyfriend. Being in the same country will make things much easier. :)

5. One of the first things I'll do when I leave is attend a wedding in the Lake District! I'm really excited about this, especially since it's only the second wedding in my life that I will have been to.  

6. Going somewhere no one knows me and therefore has no expectations about what I'm like. 

7. Checking out what the student union has to offer. I'd love to join a club or two!

8. (Hopefully) making new friends, of course!
