4 years have come and gone.
Its hard to believe. Its like coming in as a Freshman, then graduating as a Senior.
Lots of friends have come and gone. I'm still here.
If I had to compare London to College, or University as they call it here, it would be a "commuter" city.
Its like those colleges where no one really "stays" and "lives" on campus... they come, and they go.. I guess I'm one of the few that's living on "campus."
Why am I still here?
Its not the weather that's for sure. The weather during the summer doesn't compare to Chicago summers. (Although I've heard that the summer this year in Chi-town hasn't been that great)
I think its three things really.
1. The love of my life is here.
2. My career. I still enjoy what I'm doing.
3. Traveling in Europe. I'm a serious travel addict. (Amsterdam this weekend! 4th time since I've moved, 5th time total. Yikes.)
That said, a year from now I can apply for permanent residency, and a year after that, apply for UK Citizenship. So why leave now?
With UK Citizenship, it opens to the door, hopefully, to working anywhere in the EU.
I love America, and I miss it, but why miss the chance and opportunity to have dual citizenship. =)
If only I can stay up in the middle of the night to watch the Bears and Cubs, and sports in general. =/
