Classes start tomorrow and my feelings about it are stuck somewhere between Spongebob Squarepants ("I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready!") and me in high school ("Is it over yet?"). But I'm going to put my game face on and try to make the most of my last year. I spent the weekend catching up with … Continue reading Fantastical Daydreams
Flying Companions
I meant to write yesterday but thanks to the roundness of the Earth, I was out like a light by 8pm. Not to worry, I will catch you up on everything that has been going on. After Paris, I stayed with Sarah and her family until yesterday when I had a morning flight back home … Continue reading Flying Companions
Travelling
I managed to fit in some last minute souvenir shopping before we caught our train back to London. We took our heavy suitcases on the Metro, and at the station (Gare du Nord, same way we came) we got some snacks and I bought lipstick that made me look like an assassin (according to Sarah). … Continue reading Travelling
Paris Day 11: One Last Hurrah
Today we went for lunch on a Seine River cruise. We had good food as we passed a bunch of the famous landmarks, some that we've visited, others that we haven't. There was live music and lots of wine and people waving from the sidewalks by the river. It felt very fancy. Afterwards, we just … Continue reading Paris Day 11: One Last Hurrah
Paris Day 10: Shopping
I think I put off writing this post because I couldn't bring myself to write the title with double digits. Has it been ten days already? Our trip is almost over! Yesterday was good, but Sarah and I didn't do any touristy stuff. Instead we went shopping. I told my sister I'd get her something … Continue reading Paris Day 10: Shopping
Paris Day 9: *Sigh*
Today was full of disappointments. To begin with, it was a Sunday. Everything's closed on Sundays. But you know, the morning started out alright. I woke up before Sarah so order has been restored, and we had some perfect croissants for breakfast. I didn't know croissants could be perfect until I had mine this morning. We … Continue reading Paris Day 9: *Sigh*
Paris Day 8: A Vacation
We climbed 387 steps to the top of Notre Dame, and that was only to the top. The view was killer. The wait was even longer than the catacombs, and it was cold all morning and most of the afternoon while we just stood there. I even wore a really cute pair of shorts, which was … Continue reading Paris Day 8: A Vacation
Paris Day 7: Fancy Schmancy
I'm starting this late, just because I got distracted by the internet. That's my only excuse. I started late this morning, too. We went to L'Arc de Triomphe today. I can't believe it took us a week to see something so monumental. Truthfully, though, maybe I've just seen too many pictures of it or something, … Continue reading Paris Day 7: Fancy Schmancy
Paris Day 6: Down To The Bones
According to Sarah, the Catacombs of Paris are technically a museum, which means our Museum-A-Day streak is still alive! We also went into a patisserie today, so I guess I can add those to the tally board. Museums: 6 Churches: 3 Patisseries: 4 Great. As I said, we visited the Catacombs of Paris today. We arrived at noon … Continue reading Paris Day 6: Down To The Bones
Paris Day 5: Jeepers Creepers!
Today, I got shat on by a pigeon. Here’s a picture if any of you are disgustingly curious. Apparently having a fucking bird fucking poop on you is supposed to be lucky. It fucking better be. *deep breath* Okay. Let me tell you about the day I just had. As I predicted in my last post, … Continue reading Paris Day 5: Jeepers Creepers!
