So I got to talk to my family over iChat this morning rather than coming to work immediately on time... I was only a little late, and really, I've been staying so late I need to make up some time off.  But anyways, while it was nice to hear from everyone again, I said something about not having gotten sick really this whole trip ( Read more... )

I'm so jealous of all you lucky people who get to enjoy the loud explosions and cheesy patriotic napkins!  Bastille Day is still 10 days off for us frenchies, but that in itself should be interesting, plus a day off!  Anyways, I've been rather tired lately, and thus a little negligent about posting anything of much importance ( Read more... )

Let's just say I'm highly impressed with myself for yesterday. 6 hours of speaking almost nothing but french and shopping at the same time! Today its on to more sales i belive... I'm definitely enjoying 50% off of almost everything! updates and photos(?) later.

Ever wonder what it would be like to live in another country? Jeeze, so do I! ...cuz at this point, I'm getting up, going to work, getting tired, coming home and chatting/phoning/reading/scarfing down a baguette and such until I pass out again.

I don't know why, but the last time I was looking at hostels in Cinqua Terre and Nice, I was excited. I went to actually book them yesterday, and couldn't be even half harted with the same hostels! I'm looking forward to seeing Italy but the longer this trip takes, the more I just want to be done with it. The truth is, even if it takes $200-300 ( Read more... )

Only 4 weeks left on this project... how insane is that? I hardly believe anything will get done, but we'll see. The weather has turned incredibly gloomy this week though... My silly little forcaster is telling me to expect rain today and tomorrow... and the rest of the week has been flipping back and forth from rain to sun, so it could be bad as ( Read more... )

Last night i woke up at 2:35am to the sound of an explosion and the rippling shock waves flooding in through my window. Only thing is... there was no explosion, or at least none that garnered any level of reporting, and thus no shock wave. Perhaps a car backfired... on the other side of the building ( Read more... )
