Lei era nella sua anima una ragazza del mare: Ora

Lately,

I have been...

Doing...

• Trying not to kill myself over school. Only 43 days until Christmas!

• Working a lot. I play with a sweet baby boy for a few hours four days a week, and it is usually the highlight of my day.

• Praying and reading my bible a lot more. I find I can deal with a) school b) people c) myself a lot better when I am consistent in prayer. Praise God!

Reading...

• Ivanhoe. I like to always have a classic on hand. It makes me feel smart. Luckily they're usually always enjoyable too!

• My Most Excellent Year. This is a reread. ♥

• Days of Blood and Starlight {Laini Taylor}. I enjoyed the first one, Daughter of Smoke and Bone. It's an interesting and clever story.

Planning...

• A trip to Chile over spring break with my school. Hopefully it will all work out!

• My transfer to university after RVC. I have my eye on a Catholic university with a good speech pathology AND pre-med program, my two career interests.

• My eventual move to Italy. I love the United States so much... but I've had it up to here with it's citizens.

Wishing...

• I could make it out to New Zealand next year to see my bff. Soon!

• I could find a way to spend my summer in Europe again. The odds of that happening on a nanny's salary who is paying her own tuition and has a trip to Chile already planned are slim to zilch.

• I was further along in school than I am. I didn't know what I wanted to study when I started at RVC, so I kind of floated along, taking whatever classes I fancied and dropping what didn't work out. Now it's likely that I've got at least another 3 semesters here before I transfer, not including this current one.

Obsessed with...

• Shopping online. Now that I have money regularly, I find myself constantly buying clothes online. I'd wager that 85% of my fall wardrobe was bought online.
