Chiyo: London bound

 

Today is the big day. I’m about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime, where I’ll be studying in London for the Fall semester, and interning for fashion company Esprit, working in their sample showroom. I have a mix of emotions right now; sad, happy, excited, nervous, and I’m sure reality won’t set in until I step foot off the plane, and am in Heathrow airport. It’s been eight years since I’ve been to London, but I always promised myself I would go back, and here I am about to leave for the city that I fell in love with several years ago.
