updates more to come my roomate might help me post my london blog so i dont have to retype it up and another one too. For now i will just share that okay so my birthday was a huge letdown if we are being honest. The only reason i chose to have paris as my 2nd program and not pau was to have my birthday here and everything went sour.
Tuesday night no one called me to go out and my roommate took me to the eiffel tower to see fireworks but they werent scheduled till wednesday night. I got some cheap cidre for myself and then i finally got a call about 11, so my roommate and i went, honestly thank goodness for her b/c i was so upset that no one had called me and i had wanted to experience the fun of bastille day and i wasnt so anyways we went to where my friends were but we couldnt
get in at alll so no naked firemen for janet at all. And one girl in front of me basically told me that me having my birthday was stupid and she was going to get in before me b/c she was there first and i was less important. I tried to call my friends and tell them how hurt i was by not getting in and they didnt come out and so debbie, my roommate, just took me to a bar. These three tunisian men sat at a table with us and sang to me but then tried to stick debbie and i with their drink bill so that was drama and stupid. Anyways i danced a little but this one guy picked me straight off the ground and i didnt particularly enjoy being picked up so we left no problem it all was okay i was just really disappointed by my other friends but had an okay fun time
wednesday my roommate and i went to the parade people were super rude and pushing to get to the
front but i saw some things military but not really the planes were pretty cool i guess but we left early and went walking and bumped into my friends who had stayed out all night so that was disappointing and then it started to pour rain
and we hid under a canopy until i found trash bags attached to a nearby garbage can and i put one over my head to male a poncho and other people did too all these tourists took my picture haha so that was amusing. Then we walked to the metro, we were going to go to le louvre but we were soaked through and i was in a dress and flats. So we went home grabbed some bread and cheese, i got myself ossau iraty aka my favorite brebis cheese and a chocolate bar to have some positivity. But after we ate i was just kind of worn out and sad so i took a longgg nap. When i woke up, i ate with my housemates and host mom spinach and chicken and we didnt finish till 10 b/c it takes a long time to get through each course, and at dinner they kept mentioning grandmothers tamking about random things and it hit me that this would be my first year without my date with mine so i got upset at the table and tried not to cry but i refused wine and didnt eat very much. then we tried to get to the fireworks but most of what i saw was trees and my friend txted me with a shirt for my bday but i didnt get it until we got home, oh and it poured rain as we walked home. I was soaking again and my bday kind of was a stinkbomb.
I miss everyone a lot and wish it would have been a better exciting bastille day like everyone told me it would be but it wasnt. But oh well right? I have 2 more weeks and i am going to do my best to have fun again, my test today kind of stunk and im not feeling my best but lets stay positive...or try. Maybe if i act positive i will become it!
