London! and Disney Paris!
So last weekend from Thursday Until Tuesday I went to London and stayed with The Lovely Chris Terrell. Immediately he gave me and Ashley a night tour of London, we rode the London eye, proceeded to chug 2 bottles of wine, and spin on a carousel! :) OH and stone henge was amazing and so was Bath Spa!
OHH AND DISNEY PARIS WAS COVERED WITH THE FRENCH LANGUAGE AND CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS! I DANCED...

Horrible news folks. My bed is infested with the bed bugs! People think it is from Marseille. I am totally covered head to toe in bites! I feel like I am emotionally and physically a mess! I am in an isolated room while my room is being drenched in spray.

Basically I look like I have chicken pox. I have about 20+ bites on my face...
Halloween-My FAVORITE time of the year!
Fall, the most amazing time of the year. The trees are turning colors, the sky is mysterious, the men are starting to dress like men, and the sluts are going into hiding because they don’t know how to dress for the cold. It is completely perfect! The air is cold, but not over whelming for the lungs, it is fresh and minty! I love this time of year….that is all I can say! I need to move...
OH Fall Break
Since my last post both Fall break and Halloween have gone down. I say “gone down”, because shit literally went down. :) For Fall break, my Matthew was going to come to Paris, so I did not plan to go on any trips, but with the late passing of his mother, he was not able to come see me in Paris. Believe it or not, this news wasn’t that unexpected or horrible. I miss hi, but...

Barcelona Tag on...
I TOTALLY FORGOT! Ashley, Danny and I went rowing in a pond by their Arc De Triumph. Ashley and I had to teach Danny how to row. Possibly one of the funniest things ever. We gave the paddles to the clumpsy girl to try and help out her situation and we ended up getting splashed. The poor girl did not understand what reverse meant, and scared away a lounging cat. After a while she got the hang of...
Barcelona!
This week started out so rough. There was a huge strike and on top of that I was away from Matt when his mother passed early Tuesday morning. My daily routine totally went down the drain. Little things that I could normally do were not getting done and I wouldn’t even realize it until later. Things life waking up 40 minutes late for class during a strike and having to rush over there (over...

This week was pretty good, but this weekend was what it was all about!
I watched Marie Antoinette with Jean.
My Wells dorm lovers and I had yet another family dinner.
I went to a show with some friends, and had a lovely time! I woke up still in my going out clothes and shamefully had to walk home with my friend Matt in the morning. I then proceeded to do everyone’s makeup for this photo...
I just love it when Old men fart in the crowded...
Hello friends!

I also travelled to Amsterdam. Enough said right? Ashley and I had a lovely time basically doing everything you are supposed to do in Amsterdam. We started our day at the SEX museum, travelled to the...

Lately...
Dance: No air conditioning, and many sweaty bodies. It is sexy!
Laundry: It costs 5 euros and takes forever. The one dryer that works, Aaron broke the door off of it. Yeah Aaron kid I met yesterday. ;)
French: The Chinese boy makes dramatic hair flips. Him and tits McGee from Spain are loud and wake me up in class. Stereotypes are for a reason.
Adds: They are so weird here. I saw a witchy...
I am feeling much better
So over the weekend I had to stay in a heal. I’ve had a fever, puked a bit, and cuddled with Matt’s old sweater. I woke u today feeling so much better. I drank so much juice over the weekend, and I am positive that this healed me! Thanks Matt for the previous water bottles. I took three dance classes today: contemporary, floor barre, and oriental: belly dancing. My oriental teacher was...
Just watched The Devil Wears Prada, and then Closer with John. Gotta love those movies.

A fat woman that looked like a red headed version of mimi from the Drew Carey show was just staring me down in the metro. Basically in Paris, this means “Fuck You.” That gorilla wanted to kill me. Thank you plus size dept for making her life so pleasing to be around.
Thursday
I went and took ballet barre and yoga. Today has been a nice day with light rain and a cool breeZe. My fav! Now I am eating green olives and prepping for a nap to heal myself. x
Meds
I got my medicine…Dolirhume. Lets hope it isn’t crack.

Today was interesting. It rained. I learned French. I ate Chinese. … Food, not the people. I took barre. …only, too sick to inhale. I had class in the Louvre for 3 hours. I ate pasta, blocks of cheese, and gummy bears. I showered with a spider, and now I am going to sleep.
MATT I love you and miss you tons!

1. Why do so many French men have their eyebrows pierced, and near their temples?
2. The dancers here are ripped and have better balance than me…I am so inspired.
3. Due to my sick lungs and throat French at 9am kills. I have to wake up at 6:30 and commute. Ha I am not used to this yet. I fall asleep in the first half and then I am like a child on adderall for the second half. I...

On Thursday I took 2 dance classes and died. Lets see how today goes when I take 3. I guess thank goodness for all of the steps and walking here on the weekends. I feel defined. haha
Laundry night!

Well today...
I took a trip into the amazing Sainte Chappelle. I don’t think I spoke the whole time while I was in there…totally in aw! Then I had a pleasant time at the E. Tower. :) A man sold me Red wine and Sire de Beaupre for only 10 euros thanks to Margot’s haggling skills. Everything was well, except for the part where I started my day thinking I was eating cheesy bread, and it...
I am Native, I know the land-ADC
So starting on Friday I ate delicious duck, and went to a great bar and watched a live band. The lead singer even looked like Maxine’s long lost French twin. She was wearing an Indian head dress. Note to maxine: You look awesome in a head dress with massive feathers. After the show, John and I decided to go home. Thanks to everyone that knew the city sooo well we ended up getting a tad lost....
Lost
I just got lost for a good two hours or so in Paris with John. FML
My body needs ice
I am in so much pain. Obviously I knew this would happen. Thank you dance for making me realize that I have been out of touch with you for a month.
French Dinner = Duck tonight!

A little boy flirted with me in the Louvre!
He was about 5 years old. I accidentally made eye contact with him, and he then immediately pronounced himself into a power rangers stance with his arms pointed at me. Did I mention that he had a suave version of the rocks eye brow look to him? I couldn’t help but laugh. He even giggled because he new I thought he was adorable. Oh little kids are too funny.
DANCE!
Today I took my first Ballet class at Studio Harmonic. Rosie was right…Wayne is awesome. I love being in professional ballet classes. It makes such a difference. I also took a modern class, the teacher loved me, so I love her. ha.
While walking in the metro I saw the worlds most harry man. His unibrow literally continued onto the mid part of his nose. I mean I was hott from dance, so he...
Wednesday.
After an antsy coffee intense french class I walked to see Shakespeare and Co and the Notre Dame. It was so beautiful. I was obsessed with the gargoils. We ate baguettes on the lawn at the Louvre before our 3 hour class inside. After watching french boys play soccer I became a fast fan. OH but I was not a fan of the prego gypsy that wanted out $$$$.
Today's plan
The weather here so far is so weird. It is like late october (in Philly) in the mornings, and hott and sunny in the evenings before the sun sets. So a good park sesh is waiting for us after we are nearly done with our days. Off to French, then the Wells studio, then to the Arc de Triomphe. :)

French Pastry I love you...plus the 20 more I ate...
Ashley and I just ate an entire bag of pastries. FML I couldn’t stop. Now I understand hefty childrens weaknesses that lead to fat camp and low self esteem.

My First French class was today
So I woke up at 6:30, was doing my makeup, and the fire alarm went off in the dorm. oh yeah! Everyone looked fresh in their PJs. After that I hopped on the RER/metro to my french class, which was 3 hours. Gosh it was too long. Did I mention we only speak in French. Ha it was pretty funny. Off to explore the Cite Universitaire!

Lordy am I sleepy. Matt I miss you! <3
Omg I have no internet!
So far Paris has been amazing. I ariplained it from Philly to DC to JFK and ashley was already waiting for my at JFK with wine and cake ready. Upon meeting everyone, 3 fine ladies and myself sat together on the double deck plane. Due to our cramping knees we had the AMAZING idea to take prescribed pain killers, tons on coffee, and little food. We are very smart. So leaving on Friday and feeling...
Sweet Endings
I went all out and bought a huge cup of yogurt for my last Philly treat! Yum

Lady Liberty wants to pick me up at 6:30 am….should I even go to sleep tonight?
