Being friends with a loner requires patience and the wisdom that distance does not mean dislike.

Today, I randomly started a quest to find my missing package. I was at the post office and made an inquiry...he told me to come back with the number and he'd look into it. So, I came back with the number 2 minutes before closing (I could see it in his face "I didn't mean today...") and I was told it wasn't in the French Postal system...which was ( Read more... )

...and I must say, I agree...

This has been a great week! Not only because I'm leaving in 6 days, but because the weather has been amazing and even more importantly sarah is here! On friday, we took our lunches down to the Loire river and sat there for about 4 hours just talking. Then, Amy, Sarah and I went to a mexican restaurant that made me wish I'd known about it sooner. We ( Read more... )

7 days of classes, 12 days in all, left in Tours. I feel like I should go out and take pictures of this city that I've been living in for the last 7 months. I just never did before because I see it everyday and it's become rather...blah. It's not a very pretty town anyway - there are towns in France that are cute as hell, where you just can't take ( Read more... )

Futuroscope was definitely fun! We watched *lots* of movies and by the end, I couldn't have seen another if I wanted to - they were all 3D or IMAX, or had moving seats, and I just couldn't take another!

Somehow, we've convinced Kevin to take us to Futuroscope for our excursion tomorrow. I can't believe he actually agreed to it! Finally something other than chateaus and cathedrals! Unfortuneately this means that we probably won't go next weekend when Sarah is here. Futuroscope is like this amusement park, but it's all movies of different kinds - 3D ( Read more... )

I have just finished cleaning off my desk. I put everything I need to do in nice, neat little piles. I have no intentions of actually finishing any of the work that needs to be done, but it's all organized so that when I get to it, I can plow right through it. When, that is ( Read more... )

You're probably wondering...what the hell are you doing online when you're in Paris!!! I wanted to see if I could get tickets to a show this weekend - the online route didn't work out for me, but I'm hoping I will have success at the theatre. Cross your fingers for me ( Read more... )

I'm going to Paris this weekend. I want to do some shopping and some of the museums are free the first sunday of the month. I also plan on catching a few films, because as we all know, I'm obsessed ( Read more... )
