A Short Update

Can you believe we are one day away from December? I can't, it truly is going by faster than I realize. It is strange how some days I think it feels like only yesterday I arrived, but it is 3 months.
I am pretty impressed with myself to be honest. There have been many times I thought I would throw in the towel. But, deep down I know I am not ready to come home yet. I know I haven't learned all what I am meant to learn while I am here. If I go back now, I will regret it. Nothing will have changed in me, I will take the same things for granted and I will be lost.
I am meant to stick it out, no matter how much crying or how homesick I get I need to do this for me.
I have spent some lone weekends this month for a couple of reasons. One has to do with a shopping adventure I went on by accident. I spent more money than I have ever in one store. Oops! I did get a dress for my work Christmas do, and then some sweet purple patent leather boots (which were essential, as boots are the style here) and then a pair of leggings, because you can't live here without a pair. The other reason for my anti social behaviour still goes back to my shopping, I knew if I went out I would spend more money and I need to pay Italy off and start stocking up for the holidays. (I know I would spend money shopping, because the weekend after my big shopping, I went out and shopped again. I didn't spend as much, I swear!).
Only 3 more weeks of school before the big break, (I haven't been counting since the beginning of November!) I am looking forward to my dad coming to visit, I am especially looking forward to all of the treats he is going to bring me. We are headed to Scotland for a few days. I am really looking forward to that, it is going to be pretty with all of the lights and the snow.
For New Year's I am going to Belgium, to meet up with a girl and her boyfriend. Both of whom I met briefly in October. They have offered me a place to stay and they are going to show me around. I am just glad that I won't be alone during the holidays.
Well now that I have sat here for the last 1/2 hour sleeping instead of typing, it is a sign that I am too tired to write anymore.
(It is Monday, what do you expect).
