i'm ready to go home.
yesterday was freezing and gross. we went to versailles early in the morning. i'm not quite sure what made me think i would be interested in going a second time, especially in such awful weather, but i went nonetheless. in fact, we were all in terrible moods, really. i don't regret going, but we didn't even stay to see the gardens because we were all just so tired. here are a couple decent shots...
from the hall of mirrors (aka where the treaty of versailles was signed)
and the gardens we didn't bother exploring.
and last night all i wanted to do was go out dancing, but everyone was still too tired even though we all took naps. i did go to dinner in the latin quarter with carley and steph, which was fun. we got falafel and crepes again (super delicious) but i was ready to go out when we came home...alas, no plans were formed for our only saturday night here. lamelamelame.
today was okay, i guess? i got breakfast with jodi, saw heather at the market in the middle of the day, and then came home to work on my presentation for tomorrow. i just got really, really homesick. i think a lot of people are really smitten with paris because they can "eat lunch at the gardens" and "there's so much to do here," but i really believe paris is like 80% similar to new york. i always eat my lunch at the park or by a river (i miss the hudson...) and i always am out and about in the city. i guess i'm just used to this lifestyle so it's less exciting for me? not to mention i've done all the tourist-y things before so now what i really want to experience is the nightlife...and no one will do that with me when i can actually go out and not study for a giant exam i will probably fail. i'm just ready to go back. only 12 days left as of tomorrow...
today dad sent me this:
i really miss her, too. and one last picture of us from mike's last week. i actually really like this:
bonsoir.
