I still can't believe my #ActuallyAutistic self, who hates change and uncertainty really moved 3,340 miles away from home with zero plans 5 years ago today. 🇺🇸🛫🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Half a decade in Cymru. How did that happen? It has to be the biggest fluke ever.

I just want to thank everyone again for all the support and congratulations on getting into Cardiff. I still can't believe its actually happening 🥰

@tinysapien I still need to learn "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau" 😭 its beautiful to see but makes me feel like a rubbish Welsh citizen 😢

@aprhisiart21 Mood. Or telling them on a second date and them saying it's OK and you go to message them about a 3rd and they're not there 🙃

Getting into Cardiff University calls for some celebrations.

* Fun fact I've wanted to move to Wales since our last family visit when I was 10. I moved at 22. So this whisky is a lil easter egg in its own right too ☺ *

@archae_delle Diolch! And for sure! Would be amazing to meet and maybe see some of your research 👀

[C. P. Murphy 'The Autistic Historian' @CPMurphy_Arch]

@CorylusW Yes! Bath is amazing isn't it?

Don't mind me nerding out 😍😍😍

@_AcrossTheAges Boudicca burning Londinium down and her last battle against Rome 😍

But mostly the burning London 😅

Y'all I went from failing out of university with barely a 1.2 GPA to getting into the top-ranked uni in the country after a 5-year gap that included an international move. Don't you dare let anyone sell you short of what you're worth.

@Joealle83391495 Ydw.

Remember when history channel was the reason I got into history? I still remember seeing about Boudicca when i was like 8/9.

I just learned that bioluminescent plankton was recorded in 350 BC by Aristotle, who referred to the phenomenon as ‘cold light’.

I wonder what the Iron Age folks we study thought of things like this. What stories did they tell about it, did they stay up to watch like we do? ✨

[C. P. Murphy 'The Autistic Historian' @CPMurphy_Arch]

@tinysapien Living in the UK does that to ya... I honestly don't know how I survived 90F as a child? 😂

[C. P. Murphy 'The Autistic Historian' @CPMurphy_Arch]

Fully vaccinated. In other words I'm now a extra spicy autistic 😜
