Will Miss:
- being 90 seconds from the Zodiac
- being 90 seconds from Tesco's
- all the funky ethnic/independent shops along Cowley Rd.
- the crazy homeless people on the street
- the student 'vibe'
- my large room
- not paying council tax
- drunken students yelling outside my house at 3am
- drunken students yelling inside my house at 3am
- Cowley Rd. roadworks (that's 'construction' for my fellow Canadians)
- being a 1/2 hour walk from work and the city centre (that's 'downtown' for my fellow Canadians)
Here's the coolest part though - the house I'm moving to is on an island! Osney Island to be precise! Granted, it's not a very big island, and it is well connected to the mainland, however that's still pretty f'ing cool! Like I've written before, I have a deep connection with water, and so it's awesome to be surrounded by it! One of the banks is even the River Thames! All right, so it may seem like a small thing, but I'm super-pumped about it, so be happy for me! I think this place is gonna be better overall...it's about 10 minutes closer to the city centre (albeit on the other side from where I currently am) and I know the 2 guys I'm moving in with from hOME. It's also in a better neighbourhood, and it's right beside a pub! (which thankfully closes at 11pm, so no loud drunks after that!) It will literally be 45 seconds from my room to a beer, if I so choose. Awesome. Granted, it is a little bit more expensive than where I currently am which doesn't bode well for my Scandinavian trip, but I think I'll still be able to pull it all together.
Well, it's time to start packing...I'll write more from my new digs!
