Day 12- New Inspiration

So many things happened to me today that made the saying "things happen for a reason" all the more true. I have come to terms with my decision to leave school. I know it is the right thing for me and I am okay with it. Sometimes though, I like to remind myself of the advantages to me being in this situation. Free room and board, a quarter of the expenses for school, the ability to get a full time job to make more money and one that recently just came about in the last 20 minutes. TRAVELING!! Now, when I was still on the track of being at Marquette, I was supposed to be going to India in the Fall. As many of you may know, there was a terrorist attack there today in Mumbai. While watching the news coverage on this, my mom just looked at me and said, "Love you dear but I am glad you aren't going there". And I know she is right. It is a place I would like to visit one day, but I believe my dads words were, "You probably would have been in jail within the first month". This is probably true. I don't like to hold my tongue when women are so outright disrespected. But, just because I wont be studying abroad doesn't mean that I will not be traveling! I was talking to my friend Janey who will studying abroad in France in the spring. I also have 4 other friends who will be abroad during this time. So, I am going to visit!! And travel around Europe. Perfect! Done and done.
