I've done it: moved from Canada to England. It's beautiful here in Sheffield - I love the English weather (rainy, cloudy, pants-and-sweater-weather). I am about to start classes for my masters program, and my supervisor is an amazing feminist philosopher whom I admire and respect. I hope I can live up to her expectations, and my own. I hope I can learn to make more than nachos and macaroni. I hope I can survive without a cat (my flat doesn't allow pets). I hope I can find new support systems and coping mechanisms. So far, I've made friends I genuinely like so much, picked classes I'm excited to start, and discovered the cornish pasty...and that's more than enough for right now. I'm wearing an American Apparel bodysuit, pants from Target, a JumpFromPaper bag and Nike Air Max shoes
