A day in the life of Dobin


It will be one month this Sunday, the day of my departure for Amsterdam that is.
I am a third year Fashion design student, who in about a month is going to study on exchange in Amsterdam for five months.  Five months, sounds long.. but when I think about it now, it seems like too short of a time to experience and see everything I would like to.

I am sitting here in my bed huddled under the covers with my laptop as I do most mornings. I am really wondering how many more mornings I can stay in bed till midday ignoring all the things I have left to organize. Constantly pushing all the boring paper work stuff out of my day till tomorrow, till the next day and here I am, I am at today, nearly a month from when I have to leave.. and there a few thousand things I should be doing.

Am I scared? Yes. But the excitement numbs the fear, which is probably why I am so blase about the documents and paperwork. I am scared to leave the comfort of my home and the easy life I have here, where most things are done for me and even things I am quite capable of doing, my parents seem to want to do for me. I am unsure of how I will go, having to fend for myself... as more often than not I cannot be bothered to heat up a meal, let alone cook one. But of course, I'm excited to try life outside of the known and on my own.

I will keep you posted on how I go with that .....
