My grand love affair…

I’m in love, it’s been 10 weeks so it’s a little fast but je suis amoureuse avec Paris. But at the same time, I daydreamed today about seeing my parents and how delightfully excited my mom will squeal when she sees me, my dad will just smile and open his arms and my brother will give me a friendly hug too and it will be sooo nice. I really am excited to come home, but I’m officially in love with Paris.

Class was stupid and I was hungover like woah, I really should have skipped but am too good of a student go figure. Ate lunch in Jardin de Luxembourg for the last time, had some thoughtful moments there, stopped at McDonalds for a à emporter cappuccino then Carley, a friend of mine, and I shopped the TOWN!! I spent a decent amount on myself for the first time which felt a little spoiling but I am so pleased and I love everything I bought. I now own a red and pink beret and two black ones, one is knit. I am in LOVE.

We souvenir shopped till about 5pm then Carley felt pooped so we went to her dorm and I napped while she facebooked and then we met up with another friend and went to CHINA TOWN in Paris, what a riot. We ironically ate Vietnamese but I had chicken and noodles and sauce and veggies and an orange presse, oh yes I loveeee orange juice here don’tcha know?

After dinner, stopped home and picked up my roommate Debbie, went to la Tour Eiffel for a few pictures b/c I essentially have none to take anymore errg but we had a blast and had some pistachio ice cream.

Here’s something I will need to realize: not every man I pass will go “wow,wow, wowww” at me googling at me and not every store vendor will ask me for my number and say How can you speak French if you’re from Chicago to which I respond I’m studying it and he says You are so beautiful bahaha. Men here amuse me as much as creep me out but I’m BEING SAFE it’s just funny/awesome/creepy how often I get hit on and googley-eyed.

Packing and organizing a little bit tonight getting ready for my BIGG packing EXTRAVAGANZAHH which will be Friday afternoon. I feel good, I’m throwing a lot of unnecessary things away.

I miss home, I love Paris, I had a blast today, minus the hangover haha.
