I hope you do the same when you visit Europe - I'd love to travel there someday!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307066665335899370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151457747314880879.post-30945880285643816202014-06-01T07:41:07.957-04:002014-06-01T07:41:07.957-04:00I've been there!

It was hard to imagine it back in January, but now that we're super close I'm really looking forward to it.<br /><br />And thank you for the kind words about my degree! I think we'll celebrate again in July when my diploma arrives :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307066665335899370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151457747314880879.post-12298928075819425652014-06-01T07:34:56.457-04:002014-06-01T07:34:56.457-04:00Glad you found it!

The book dragged on in some places, which I don't remember about the movie.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307066665335899370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151457747314880879.post-61490786997864644982014-05-31T19:31:11.272-04:002014-05-31T19:31:11.272-04:00Silly me!

You are well on track though - well done!<br /><br />3 weeks til California - I'm excited for you! I've always wanted to go to California. I can't wait to see it vicariously through the blog!Fionahttp://www.declutterer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151457747314880879.post-28095539276992709152014-05-31T15:44:09.800-04:002014-05-31T15:44:09.800-04:00I finished no books! Quelle horreur!! Stupid I kno...I finished no books! Quelle horreur!! Stupid I know but I'm not letting myself start the books I really want to read until I finish the book I started ages ago. End result: no reading. What's the book with the two women on the cover? I can't read the title.<br /><br />I love the excitement of pre-travel! Looking up the weather and sites to see and randomly doing Google maps street view!<br /><br />I think finishing your degree really is one that needs to be in lights. For most people that would be enough for a year! So well done you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
