bonjour! and happy friday =]
the past few days have been quite busy with class and homework (ew? it's summer. oh well.), but we all managed to make out it out wednesday night! a bunch of us headed to the latin quarter around 10:30. that place is hoppin', to say the least. i felt a little like i was in times sqaure...except times square sucks and the latin quarter is awesome. we wandered around for quite a bit browsing for a chill bar and ended up sitting down at this place that played really loud, good music and had sparklers on every drink. sick? pretty much.
it was all around good times, but i had to leave with a few girls a little early because i had to be up at 8 for class...which ended up being totally fine and resulting in the most ridiculous thing that's happened to me in Paris yet. apparently it's normal here for a boy to grab your face and kiss you as he's walking past you on the subway and then return 5 minutes later to do it again, sit next to you and then tells you he loves you, baby. only 18, too...ballsy.
aaaaanyway, yesterday was class alll day, aka 9-5, but our lunch break was nice. i got something other than a baguette (again, awesome) and a few of us sat in the luxembourg gardens. the weather is finally getting nice, thank goodness. paris is so much easier to appreciate when i don't have to hold an umbrella in front of my face. after class, we had a group trip on a bateau mouche on the seine...
...which jodi and i failed to attend because we ended up getting stuck at a cafe. instead of telling us they didn't serve dinner until 7, the waiter told us our food would be ready in 10 minutes. IT TOOK 40. we literally ate our food in 3 minutes (it was delicious, by the way) and RAN to the subway. unfortunately, the bateau mouche was about 45 minutes away and there was absolutely no way we were going to make it...so we got on a later one, just the two of us, and it actually worked out perfectly fine...well, more than fine! and i got some good pictures.
today was just class in the morning and then jodi and i went for a walk/to the ISA meeting. i'm just hanging out now, but we're going to the eiffel tower or seine or something with a bottle of wine later so that should be lovely. i can't believe it's already friday afternoon. things are going by really quickly, yet i feel like i've been here for so much longer than 2 weeks. i have a feeling the next 3 are going to fly, but i'll have to sit through about 70 hours of french before this is over so that doesn't sound very appealing...oh well. i'll be sure to do fun things in between. donc, c'est tout! au revoir, mes amis...vous me manquez beaucoup.
