Unexpected Blog Post.

Ciao,

Well this is a post I NEVER expected to be writing. Ever. I am writing this post from Toulouse airport...again. My 10 week stint in France has been cut drastically short after just 5 days here. To cut a long story short my friend hated where we were staying and wanted to leave, I had the option to stay on my own but seeing as we were living in the middle of nowhere and I don't drive, plus the cabin we had was in the middle of a field I felt that I would be far too isolated. So sadly I had to make the decision to come home, a decision I did not take lightly. I had a major problem with not being professional and wasting someone's time, money and effort - not to mention robbing someone else of an amazing opportunity. But these things happen, you can't plan for them or even anticipate them, they just happen and you have to deal with them the best way you can. 

I have decided to focus on the positives of this situation, I now will be home to celebrate my best friends 21st birthday with her, I will be able to go to my cousins daughter's christening and best of all I am going to finally fulfill my 10 year old dream of watching Justin Timberlake live. Excited is an understatement. I am a tad worried about the fact that I am unemployed for the first time in 4 years and that I have to find a job for a very short period of time as I am leaving for university in Lyon in September but I'm trying to think of all the positives, silver linings and all that. I'm contemplating bringing one of my plans forward by a year and learning to drive and buying a car this summer as opposed to next summer after my year abroad. I'm going to fix my sewing machine and learn to sew and finish my projects. I'm going to blog more. I'm going to practice my languages. I'm going to spend evenings watching Disney with my little sister. I'm going to spend Friday nights getting drunk and making memories with my brother and cousins. I'm going to make the most of an unexpected situation. This is all you can do when an enormous spanner is thrown into the works. 

Ciao for now...
