Off to Paris

The past couple of days have flown by in Finland. I’ve had great ideas such as biking to the Baltic Sea (a total of 60 km), done yard work with madre and hung out even more with the grandparents as well as seen extended relatives such as my great aunt and uncle, and their great grandchild. Apparently in Finland, we all actually know each other. Sofia (the great grand child) is HYSTERICAL. She’s 3 years old and loves Rockey. And Rockey loved her as well. But talk about confusing when Sofia’s mom’s name is Jonna, and I’m used to being the only Jonna around. Today’s the big day though, I’m FINALLY going to Paris. I even get to meet up with my dad at the airport since the plane I’m flying in on will be the plane he will fly to Helsinki with. My family likes to travel- a lot. And that’s an understatement.

I’m supposed to meet Brittany at the University of Paris today around 5-6 PM. Neither of us can get a hold of the other since I won’t have internet access from here on out, and she doesn’t have a cell phone. So wish me luck. But tonight I will be going to Duplex, a club by L’Arc de Triomphe. And have to meet my professor at 8 AM on Sunday morning!! An hour away of where I’m spending the night tonight! With all of my suitcases! I wonder how I get myself into these sticky situations with random early wake ups, but then I think about how hard me and my friend Kylene trained for it all last summer with having to wake up and drive Atlanta to Athens or Athens to Atlanta. This should be a breeze in France.
