I MISS HOME BUT....

i love paris

so after the euphoria has set in, life gets real.  Starting class is a trip... we have our class on the 6th floor of the sorbonne!!! i swear i walk 35 min on the stairmaster each day, counting how many stairs are on the metro and to my class! it was amazing seeing my cousin jenna, and playing tour guide, a familiar face is chicken soup for the soul (: thank the lord our appartment has an elevator! im starting to realize how lucky i am.... except, if hell had a shower, it would be ours ! but im still in love with the appartment... we could have it worse, that is our motto! our roomate is in amsterdam this weekend, we are planning on Barcelona, London, Dublin, and Venice/Florence if possible! (: heres a list of things ive learned from paris...
1. toilet paper is a luxury
2. big bedrooms are a luxury
3. soap in the bathroom is a luxury
4. everything is amazing
im also less dependent on cars, people, fast food, and everything else than i thought i was necessary
love you all and miss you terribly!!

BRUGES!!!

we went on a longg, but lovely, mystery tour today! my guess was on the money, BRUGES belgium (: it was soo beautiful, a smaller city, and with quaint architecture, great food, nice people... just adorable! Apparently it was Belgium who invented the poorly named "french fry", and also Bruges supposedly has the best in the country! I loved the food and am way too full now haha... and the beer was good, the waffles delicious, icecream, chocolataries, the whole shebang!!!
