Cue the squealing

I WON THE SCHOLARSHIP!! I've been running around my house dancing awkwardly and screaming and squealing and almost crying hysterically. I'm just an emotional hot mess right now and I have no problem with that, I can't contain my elation, this is honestly going to help out my budget tremendously. This is all so surreal, I need someone to pinch me repeatedly. This is the confirmation that I will have to book within a few weeks and it still hasn't hit me. I'll be in Italy. For study abroad. Something I've wanted since a child. It's actually happening, no more delays due to budgets or class conflicts. I'm going to be living in Italy for four months. How crazy is that? Ahhhhsfkjhfshjkfdsjhkfdjshk!!

My first time....

buying a pair of Steve Madden shoes! What did you think I meant? Get your head out of the gutter, sillies. I was indifferent to Oxfords only because I was worried I wouldn't be able to pull them off. Trying them on changed my mind and I couldn't be happier. They're extremely comfortable, can be paired with multiple outfits, and it's not a bad thing if they make me feel English, innit? (Pretty sure I didn't use that slang term right??)
