Onward and Upward!

My visa to move to England was approved with no problems! Getting it back in the mail was a huge sigh of relief coupled with Kermit the Frog level excitement:

 

Now that my UK arrival is set in stone, I can pump up the job search and keep reading about the UK and getting a handle on British culture.  My colleague who recently returned from a Fulbright in the UK  told me about this great NY Times article about cultural differences between American and Brits. It was written by an American who is returning to the US after many years living in England and I found it to be a great read: Ta-Ta, London, Hello, Awesome.

$h*# Just Got Real!

The countdown to living in the UK is officially underway! Today I sent in my visa application and if all goes well I will officially be Liverpool Lil on November 4th!
