First day of classes! I cancelled my summer trip to San Francisco, England, and Poland so that I could be here in Florida for something that might not even happen but I have to hope that things will work out in the end. Since I'm not traveling, I decided to cram a year's worth of classes into summer term, so if you need me at any point before August, I'll be taking notes in this rad Lisa Frank composition notebook and finding a part-time job to pay for tuition since none of my cancelled flights or travel plans will be refunded. 🐬 🌈 🤞 #college #journal #journaling #writing #bookstagram #book #books #bookme #bookworm #booknerd #booklover #igreads #instabook #ilovebooks #lifeofaformerenglishmajor #notebook #lisafrank #dolphins #rainbow #bibliophile #igbooks #ocean #lifeofaformerenglishmajor https://www.instagram.com/p/BT2S9FilNzE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Things I can always count on when I visit Grammy: she will greet me with a big hug, vegan food, and a book waiting for me in my room. 💕 📖 🤓 #thesandcastlegirls #chrisbohjalian #historicalfiction #bookaddict #bookstagram #book #books #bookme #bookworm #booknerd #reading #booklover #igreads #instabook #ilovebooks #lifeofaformerenglishmajor #syria #armenia https://www.instagram.com/p/BQZRPXWh8-R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you ever wanted historical fiction that covers the Holocaust as well as Japanese-American internment camps, this is the book for you. Personally, the plot didn't do much for me, but the setting was great. 📖 🌸 🇯🇵 #thejapaneselover #isabelallende #historicalfiction #bookaddict #bookstagram #book #books #bookme #bookworm #booknerd #reading #booklover #igreads #instabook #ilovebooks #lifeofaformerenglishmajor #atriabooks #simonandschuster https://www.instagram.com/p/BQTySBdhNVs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When you're such a nerd that one of your first stops in a new city is the library. Make sure you check out their garden if you go here! 🤓 📚 🚲 #explorida #roamflorida #igersmiami #outsideisfree #pureflorida #florida #instagarden #instagram_florida #florida_greatshots #library #LoveFL #vacfl #coralgables #miami #southflorida #architecture #sky #clouds #booknerd#fromwhereibike #fun_in_florida #lifeofaformerenglishmajor (at Coral Gables Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/BFtWYQGplPw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Audiobook based on a Shakespeare play? Don't mind if I do! (And yes, I totally dug out some postcards from the first time I went to Shakespeare's hometown.) 📖 🌸 ☕️ 🇬🇧 ⛪️ #currentlyreading #vinegargirl #annetyler #tamingoftheshrew #shakespeare #audiobook #bookaddict #bookstagram #booklove #bookstagrammer #books #bookme #bookworm #booknerd #bibliophile #reading #booklover #igreads #instabook #ilovebooks #tea #stashtea #iphone6 #stratforduponavon #randomhouse #postcards #lifeofaformerenglishmajor (at Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BQNT83qh9hA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was sad to hear that Susan Vreeland died this week. I really enjoyed The Forest Lover as well as Clara and Mr. Tiffany, which were both fantastic pieces of historical fiction, and I'm now inspired to read some of her other books. 📚 🌼 🤓 #susanvreeland #claraandmrtiffany #historicalfiction explorida #roamflorida #igersflorida #orlando #igersorlando #pureflorida #florida #fun_in_florida #LoveFL #morsemuseum #tiffanyglass #winterpark #nature #downtownwinterpark #bookaddict #bookstagram #book #books #bookworm #booknerd #reading #booklover #igreads #instabook #ilovebooks #lifeofaformerenglishmajor #bibliophile #igbooks (at The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/BYwoQJolAFE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 9 of Thanksgiving break: Watched sunrise at the island and then went on a walk at Neal Preserve. Drove home to Kissimmee and took a nice long bath while I finished a few audiobooks. I introduced Josh to Aladdin and the King of Thieves, which was one of my favorite childhood movies and I’m still crushing hard on Aladdin’s dad. After Josh left, I edited pictures, caught up on Outlander, and mentally prepared myself to go back to school tomorrow. #thanksgivingbreak ☀️ 🌱 🚶🏻‍♀️ #sunrise #explorida #roamflorida #igersflorida #pureflorida #florida #florida_greatshots #fun_in_florida #LoveFL #vacfl #nature #NatureFL #SunshineState #igers941 #bradenton #bradentonarea #mangroves #thatflcommunity #nealpreserve #gulfcoast #lifeofaformerenglishmajor #naturelovers #naturepreserve #outsideisfree (at Neal Preserve)

Day 7 of Thanksgiving break: Started the day with an oil change and my first shift at my new job. Relaxed, finished a book, and helped G and G put up Christmas decorations this afternoon. Finally introduced them to Moana, because few things beat a Disney night with the family. #thanksgivingbreak 🌱 🐌 💖 #explorida #roamflorida #outsideisfree #pureflorida #florida #florida_greatshots #lovefl #nature #igers941 #bradenton #snail #garden #bradentonarea #courtyard #naturelovers #sunshine #lifeofaformerenglishmajor #sunshinestate #gastropod (at Bradenton, Florida)

Day 3 of Thanksgiving break: woke up even earlier today so I could watch sunrise from the island. It was super windy and cold, so I instead headed further inland and went on a critter quest at Neal Preserve. 3 more books finished today!#thanksgivingbreak ☀️ 🦀 🌱 #sunrise #explorida #roamflorida #igersflorida #pureflorida #crab #florida #florida_greatshots #fun_in_florida #LoveFL #vacfl #nature #NatureFL #bokeh #depthoffield #SunshineState #igers941 #bradenton #bradentonarea #mangroves #thatflcommunity #nealpreserve #gulfcoast #lifeofaformerenglishmajor #naturelovers #naturepreserve #outsideisfree (at Neal Preserve)

Day 2 of Thanksgiving break: woke up early to go on a walk around Anna Maria Island, Neal Preserve, Palma Sola Botanical Gardens, and De Soto National Memorial. Finished 2 more books and helped Grammy execute Phase I of Christmas decorations (planning and shopping). Began the long process of digitizing family photos, which is my holiday gift to G and G since my budget is too tight for material gifts this year. #thanksgivingbreak ☀️ 🕸 🕷 #sunrise #explorida #roamflorida #igersflorida #pureflorida #entomology #bugs_are_us #florida #florida_greatshots #fun_in_florida #LoveFL #vacfl #nature #NatureFL #SunshineState #igers941 #bradenton #bradentonarea #orbweaver #thatflcommunity #spider #gulfcoast #orchardweaver #lifeofaformerenglishmajor (at De Soto National Memorial)

Day 1 of Thanksgiving break: I drove down to Bradenton, went to an interview and was offered a job on the spot, and read 3 books. Oh, and I had a binge session of Jeopardy with the grandparents. #nerdalert #thanksgivingbreak 🏖 🌼 🌊 #pier #sunrise #explorida #roamflorida #igersflorida #pureflorida #wildflower #duneflowers #ocean #pinkbucketbeachcollective #florida #florida_greatshots #fun_in_florida #LoveFL #vacfl #nature #NatureFL #SunshineState #igers941 #bradenton #bradentonarea #annamariaisland #thatflcommunity #beach #gulfcoast #lifeofaformerenglishmajor (at Bradenton, Florida)

This is the last week of my summer intensive classes, and I'm taking encouragement wherever I can get it, including from this paper towel dispenser! 💜 🎒 🎓 #explorida #roamflorida #florida #flstofmind #floridaliving #florida_greatshots #fun_in_florida #LoveFL #orlando #igersorlando #centralflorida #valenciacollege #college #school #summerclasses #lifeofaformerenglishmajor #reflection #mirror #bathroom #orlandodoesntsuck (at Valencia College West Campus Library)
