Ok so this is really reminding me of being accepted to Disney.
The same excitement. The same anticipation. The same butterflies in my stomach.
I'm looking all over the internet to find glimpses of things I might experience when I'm out there. I luuurve just maxing out on youtube or searching for blogs and getting lost in all the videos and stories of things to do out there, I'm even watching videos in chinese! Ok I know what you're thinking (honestly I do), 'Nick, chill the eff out man, it's still like 6 months away,' and you would be right for thinking that, so thankyou. But I'm hoping they will fly by!
So this is one video I watched, it's from the Hong Kong PolyU (that's what the students call it, don't 'cha know) youtube channel. It's done by I guess some dude from London who went out and did an exchange there. He gave out business cards... bit weird. But other than that yeah it's really cool, I want to go and mingle! There's even some peeps from UCF which was the uni right next to Disney that loads of the American cps went to, kind of cool!
Anyway, that's it. Just sharing this with you. (I swear this is becoming more and more like a diary..)
Right I NEEEED to get back to work now!
See y'all later..

Hong Kong Baby!
So today began just like any other day...
Actually, that's a lie. I handed in some coursework this morning, had a 'celebratory' full english breakfast and then came home, little did I know that a lovely email from the Oxford Brookes Exchange Office was waiting for me in my inbox..
Now I want to say that I opened that email there and then and the happiness ensued...
...unfortunately thats a lie. I was somewhere a little more/less glamourous depending how you look at it - Specsavers.
So anyway I was there. I took my phone, opened my emails (tipped off by a fellow applicant..) and saw it. I HAD BEEN NOMINATED TO GO ON EXCHANGE TO HONG KONG POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY!
(imagine that, if you will, except with some dodgy glasses on..)
WOHOOOOOOOOOOO!
I'm not sure on dates or anything yeeeeet, but you will be the first to know!
Lots of love,
Nick 'A future Hong Konger'
