Bon voyage à moi!

Thursday: Had super long and boring classes but I got my written class test back and I got a bien which means good yay meeee!

During my two hour break my roommate and I decided to finally eat like the French and splurge on a meal deal for 15 bucks, my 1st fancy one in Paris even though Parisiens define fancy as like…100 bucks a plate. Either way, we went to this mussels place my friend from my class recommended and I had mussels in wine sauce, French fries, a pineapple juice and a coffee all for 15 bucks, a good deal and the mussels were yummy, though I still prefer the Catch 35 mussels I ate the 1st time I ate mussels. I did love them though and we had fun. Got to my 2nd class a bit late b/c of it but oh well my teacher doesn’t care.

Had my written class, learned some latin words?? Then I went to the Eiffel to some last minute SHOPPING and to say hi to my favorite monument in Paris, got emotional. Went home, changed clothes and got ready and went to the ISA Farewell dinner…okay salad not so good meat, good rice and a swell dessert with live music and sentimentality everywhere.

After dinner, a bunch of us went back to the dorms where the dorm kids live and drank some wine then we all hopped a metro to this boat…no idea what it was called but it was free for foreigners before 12 30 for women so we got in FREE!! I bought myself two shots no big deal and then we all danced the night away…literally…we left the club at 5 30am, got home about 6 30am but on our way to the 1st metro we saw the Eiffel right before sunrise sooo beautiful. Had a BLAST.

Yet…I only got 2 hours of sleep before I had to get up, haul ass in the shower and get to class. Class was pointless relative pronoun stuff I already knew and one girl got to leave early b/c she was hungover but I didn’t get to when I was- UNFAIR. Anyway, my teacher kissed me. HAHA. Its true, I got a picture of our class, then one w/ him alone and he shouted GROS BISOUS and gave me a smack sound kiss on the cheek, there’s a photo. I loved him so, he was so animated and awesome.

Got a fruits rouge tarts, a jambon fromage and beurre sandwich and a pistachio and chocolate bread and a pistachio macaroon and an orangina for lunch. Best lunch EVER. I shopped all the boulangeries and then I went back to my house to eat whereafter I commenced packing. Packed for about 2 hours and was supposed to meet up w/ friends at Les Halles but couldn’t find them so I just shopped by myself, it was fun! I did wind up meeting up w/ one friend though later at Le Louvre after a quick ice cream fruit mix thing and we did all the French paintings and Venus de Milo again, so fun but she was with me at the club so we were and still are dead tired.

Got some energy, went to the Eiffel, bought half of a baguette for 45 centimes and took pictures w/ it and the Eiffel, so classique. Stayed at the Eiffel for probably an hour or so, then cried, said goodbye to my friend and cried more on the metro and then walked home pensively and being sad. I get home and pack more then my host mom announced that we are all drinking tonight aperitifs…where was this on my bday? I had one shot to be polite then water and then I politely excused myself to pack more. I really did want to get wasted with them though but here’s the other thing besides even the fact that I have a plane to catch EARLY tomorrow: I am running on 2 hours of sleep and am waking up at 5 30 so I will only get 3 tonight. Hope I get to sleep on the plane b/c I definitely need to catch up in general much less deal with jetlag.

Going to NOT miss:
Smokers
Homeless aggressive people and sad, desperately sad ones holding dogs or babies
People w/ body odor
Aggressive men

Going to MISS:

Everything, everything, everything. People, places, things, food like WOWZA and the music of Paris life.

Well anyway, I’m almost all packed, I will finish in the morning…hopefully write a conclusion blog tomorrow or whenever but all in all, bon voyage à moi!!
