Just a 20 year old girl from Texas, who is a bit of a curious mess and wants something to remember her experience by.

Not really a diary or journal, just little snippits of my time abroad. I probably won’t be taking a mental dump on this blog every other day, but I’ll try and post regularly to capture these next four months just as I’m experiencing them.</description><title>run fast, jump high, live big</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @brbgoingabroad)</generator><link>http://brbgoingabroad.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>We started and ended the semester right.

&lt;p&gt;Came across these fellow studying-abroad-tumbling-monsters&amp;#8217; pages just now, and it&amp;#8217;s so hard to keep my mind off of what&amp;#8217;s to come next week. This journey has been so amazing and beautiful in every single way possible, and I&amp;#8217;m sure these feelings are shared by us all. It&amp;#8217;s hard to put into words how incredibly special these last four months of my life will forever be to me. We&amp;#8217;re all so lucky. And it&amp;#8217;s not over yet. LETS LIVE IT UP, loves!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://brbgoingabroad.tumblr.com/post/14174111793</link><guid>http://brbgoingabroad.tumblr.com/post/14174111793</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:52:31 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>Gonna really miss them.</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw53r0vliv1qmy1woo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gonna really miss them.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://brbgoingabroad.tumblr.com/post/14162634936</link><guid>http://brbgoingabroad.tumblr.com/post/14162634936</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 Dec 2011 05:25:48 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>Happy.</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Even after we say goodnight like 10 times, we just end up talking and laughing, laughing and talking, on and on.
