I've been long delayed in making this announcement, but I'm about to embark on a whole new chapter in my life.
To give a brief overview of where my life has been, I returned to the US from Ekaterinburg in the Russian Federation in March of 2018. Although I wanted to return to my studies, I also took some time to work and earn some money that I could put away for any basic expenses and to have some modest savings. After consideration of where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do, I hit upon the idea of studying in the United Kingdom. Whereupon I put in an application to two prominent British universities: the University of Birmingham and the University of London.
I was accepted to both universities and had a choice between two wonderful places to go to further my study of history and actually teach history as is my goal. I was helped in the realisation of this goal by many people, but I wanted to take the time to thank someone in particular who really helped me. That would be a dear friend of mine named
vogelrove who helped me with my application and may well have been a deciding factor in my acceptance.
After much consideration, I ultimately made the decision to attend the University of London for the 2018-19 academic year. Starting tomorrow, September 19th, I will board my flight to the United Kingdom and travel to the UK. Ever since I visited the UK in the summer of 2014, I have always sought to return. And now, at long last, I am getting my chance.
I am really looking forward to this new chapter in my life, and I have a considerable suspicion that I will come to the United Kingdom from the USA and choose to stay. :}

There's so much of the world I still want to visit, Brasil is pretty high up on that list.
I like your RAF avatar. :}
Good luck with your future studies, too!
So all I can say is if you really want something, try to stick to it and pursue it as best you can!
I would quite like to visit Wales as well!
We do still need to figure out a proper commission too, worry not, I haven’t forgotten! :}
Hope you enjoy the course, and your stay over on this little island.
And thank you! Though I fear this may be a stay that lasts a great many years, possibly even a lifetime! What horror!
