More than just another trip


It's across continents, across vast landscapes, but even more than that, it's across cultures. Breakfast, lunch and dinner at fixed timings, cold weather, cool accent, and so many more nitty gritty details that separates us from them. Many shops close at five plus, the rare ones at six pm; the picturesque country houses, the great distances that require walking. Yet after only 8 days, it has become home. The bed, the floor, the window, the desk. It has become part of my daily life. Cornflakes with milk, laundry tokens, shopping has become a daily routine. More than just literature or school work, it's the way we study, the way we are taught that is different. Girton College will definitely be an unforgettable experience. I believe in the saying, "it's the journey, not the destination." But this time, it's also about the destination.
