EAT/PARTY/LOVE

Okay so Julie Mills got me inspired by her wall post of a photo that read "The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything." My friends Julie and Lauren (Hal!) have definitely been comforting to me the past week and now that I'm looking on the positive and making the best of certain situations I decided to have an inspirational quote to describe my week or what I look forward to accomplishing while abroad. I have a little over 2 months left abroad... 9 weeks is not a long period by any means, to think that when I come back from fall break I'm over halfway done makes me want to vomit (not actually, just a really unhealthy phrase Jessica Mardo and I use frequently).

There's so much more I want to accomplish and gain for my abroad experience and looking back I wish it didn't take so long to adjust those first weeks because I hate missing out on things. I have done SO much so far, but it's not enough for me. I'm extremely looking forward to traveling more places (London in 10 days! followed by a week living it up and loving life in Ireland, wine tasting in the hills of Chianti, Venice, CANNES beyond happy I get to go back to France thanks to an early 21st bday gift from my sisters, and Rome) but I need more out of Florence right now and I know I will get it if I try.

With a nice burst of new music my mood has elevated (Dance/House music doesn't really allow you to not have adrenaline) so tomorrow I plan on making a end all be all bucket list to be finished before I step on the plane home December 17th.. Oh and plan out London/Ireland considering I'll be there next week.

Stepping my game up. "Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional."
