Who and why

Hello all! Or very few, lets be serious... For any people that stumble upon my blog and don't know me, my name is Ashley and I'm doing this because I'm soon moving from my small hometown of Brighton, Ontario to the UK for 2 years (maybe more) in order to attend law school! Why go abroad for law school one might ask? Two main reasons: I've always dreamed of getting out of this tiny, excruciatingly boring town to travel Europe, annnnnnd honestly my marks in university probably weren't going to cut it for an Ontario law school. I spent a lot of my 5 years at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario in bars, at parties, napping... you get the point. Albeit I did manage to pick up two degrees whilst thoroughly enjoying myself. I have a Bachelor of Science Honours (maj. Bio) as well as a Bachelor of Arts (min. Psyc). How does a biology major end up going to law school? Honestly, I'm not 100% sure but basically it's just a useful degree. We'll see what happens! My dream job would be a sports agent, but more realistically I'm hoping to end up in corporate law.

Anyway that seems like a good enough introduction. I don't actually depart until December 15th and start school January 13th. But in between that my family is going to spend the holidays on a cruise of the Mediterranean and in Rome. I'm just so excited that I've decided to organize my blog ahead of time! I will likely report in next when I get over there. Hopefully my friends you find this somewhat entertaining and will enjoy being informed about my adventures. I'm aiming this blog at my girlfriends (and people I don't know!) so expect details not only about my travel adventures, but about others as well... May not be appropriate for the parentals, or small children. I'm going abroad single, expect me to mingle.

Also, I forgot to mention, because I am somewhat self-centered, I'm not going on this adventure alone. My Mom is going to be there with me, she has a job teaching high school science. Hopefully she won't slow me down, if ya know what I mean. And my dear, dear friend Nicole is also coming. She was feeling trapped, not finding a job in her field, so is just coming over for shits and giggles and to gtfo of here! Ok, that's enough for now since I'm sure I've tested everyone's attention spans.

Love you all

Ashley (oh that's me in the pic)
