home sweet home.

well, i'm back.

my last night in paris was fantastic - group farewell dinner and then hanging out by the seine. it's pretty incredible how great of friends we all became and a lot of people cried when we said goodbye...but i guess i was just too excited to go home to be terribly sad. i know i'll see them all again at some point! i'm also used to not seeing people for long periods of time. i think it's been about 2 years since i last saw sof and we're still like best friends.

being home is awesome. i went to the cheesecake factory with my parents last night, as requested =] and then i got to see brandon. i missed him so much. and then this morning i had coffee and breakfast on the porch with my mom...i missed that, too. i actually just got back from work, but it still feels like summer to me, finally. maybe because it was about a million degrees today but tomorrow i can't wait to just sit outside and do pretty much whatever i want. it's going to be swell.

things i'm going to miss:

cheap, delicious sandwiches on baguettes

speculos

my friends

the black and gold boulangerie on the corner

seeing the eiffel tower everywhere

pretty buildings

speaking french in random places

monoprix

things i'm not going to miss:

my hard-as-a-rock mattress

being woken up by the RER at 5:30 daily

6 hour days of french class

creepy boys

the metro

not being able to dance

it's good to be back =]
