mufe

last night was the end of the year party at school
i almost didn't go because i didnt want to be bothered, but so glad that i went.
we drank, ate, exchanged gifts, talked, and most importantly i received my certificate!

it's so weird that this whole journey here is coming to an end. i think back on all the weird, hard, difficult moments here and i'm so thankful for them. a big part of me wishes i tried a little more harder in school, but i guess i can just try harder in the real world.

so many things to do when i get back home! for now, im going to enjoy my last 5 days as a tourist in this city and visit museums & shop!

1 week

i have one more week in Paris.
i'm still sick, but trying to look past that (so maybe a redo in a few months?)
i have so many things to buy.
i have so many things to eat.
i still have so many things to see!!!!! 

i had a mini freak out on sunday. realized that i have a whole new life/beginning when i return to chicago. although i truly look forward to it, i will cherish and always remember this alone time i had in paris. just me.

snow in paris!
