Routine not routine

With the final year pressure mounting, I relented and decided to stay put in England this year instead of going home for Christmas and the New Year's like I usually do. To my bigger surprise, I chose not to travel around Europe as well and convinced myself that this is in fact an experience in itself. And I may just be right, though I won't lie and say that I don't miss home. 

Sometimes its nice to appreciate your vicinity that you take for granted going through your daily routine. Get to know the area a little more and capture what you haven't seen. Determined to put my thoughts into action, I forewent sleep, making the impromptu decision to hop onto the earliest bus with a friend. The cosy town we went was enjoyably peaceful and calming. 

So take your chances and hop on the next bus/train/plane, cause how bad can it be, another experience another facet of life.
