Woke up this morning feeling like -3 bucks instead of my usual 100 but it was a fun night salsa-ing so it had been worth the fatigue. Being tired made class go on for days though. We talked a lot about the PACs system in class living together before marriage, etc. and some people talked about gay marriage too. I just love everyone and want everyone to have LOVE FOREVER. I didnt say that though, I was sleeping with my eyes open.
After class, we ate turkey, potatoes and broccoli and yogurt and brie cheese at le vague and it was good and i had ketchup for the 1st time in france! thats an accomplishment to be proud of for sure!
Then, a bunch of us were a-craving something sweet so we checked out leclerc's supermarket candy aisle and i bought a pack of four kitKATS and split them up with friends. it's unreal how different and amazing chocolate tastes here...it tastes...like real and authentic and creamier, richer, gooder. Some of those things arent words but its all true.
some people in nice/toulouse area died yesterday due to heavy rains/flooding so we were warned to stay in, plus i was exhaUSTED, so I went home, napped, did hmwk and had dinner with my family here: some pizza-ish tarte made with bacon and cheese and pie crust i think, and brocolli/cauliflower/bacon-y meat/onion vegetable mix, wine (yumm), two sunny side up eggs with salt and brebis cheese for dessert. A pleasant little dinner. After dinner, I had a kitkat :) and now I am currently reading a novel and relaxing in my bed. it's chilly chilly BURRRR in Pau but cozy in my covers.
I think Im starting to worry about souvenirs for people too much...I just want to bring you all EVERYTHINGGGGG b/c I love everything here, every little shop has something precious. I feel frugal, I want to stay frugal but I dont want to miss out on fun stuff and I dont know when ill be in europe again, u know? sooo im hoping to find some deals when my friends and i decide to actually shop instead of just window shop. i think ill go into town with 50 euro total and then just blow it on me, my friends and I. i doooo want to get everyone a little something...its frustrating. i should be friends with only myself so i didnt have to buy presents...but then...my friendships to me are worth more than ZILLIONS OF DOLLARS :)
also, my mom and dad and brother. i want to buy them new cars, gadgets, horses, montains. not all of those things i will be able to afford...
BREAKFAST- I almost forgot. I had POUND CAKE essentially for breakfast with apple jam and butter and it made me meltttttt. man, i am thoroughly divulging my sweet tooth here, non? oh well, i worked it off last night salsa-ing :)
Missing people at home today a lot, like my close friends and family. Im getting excited for my senior year...sad ill be a senior but cant wait to live with heather and eric honestly I LOVE THEM SOOO. also, im nervousssssexcitttteeddd for hamlet in the fall. its all coming up! its weird to think about life in the states when my life here is so different! like...will i be able to eat with my hands under the table ever again? here, it's rude if you do. will i smile at strangers? you do not make eye contact here and you purposefully walk to avoid people. will i pet strangers dogs? i missss that. i miss my dog a lotttt. gee whizz.
oh well, it is a relaxing night though. its normal to be slightly melancholy in the rain even though its calming and beautiful.
9 days till Paris!!!!
