GPA? 4.0

'Nuff said.

Midterm is over, let the weekend commence.

We had our midterm this morning. 10 pages of French grammar?!? Oh mon dieu. My brain was fried. But I treated myself to buy 5e sandals afterwards. They're actually pretty cute. Also went to the Eiffel Tower- again. Have yet to clumb up it, but it was my 4th time there since I've been in Paris. I just like going and sitting in the park at night with all of the lights lit up. In all fairness I've seen it from a different angle every time I'm there. Tonight we sat by École Militaire- Me, Shannon, Katherine, Alison and her brother who's visiting Paris.

I have officially stuffed my face with a whole jar of Nutella since being in France. And found the most delicious bakery ever!!! Baguettes are only 1e. So I buy one daily. And eat it with my Boursin cheese or Nutella. Today I also got a Tartelette aux Fraises, which was so so so so good!!!!

Catacombs are in the plans for tomorrow along with Invalides perhaps and visiting some graves. We'll see. Play it by ear. Now that we actually have free time with no homework hanging over our heads, I don't know what to do. I feel like I could find some trouble to get into on a Friday, especially in Paris.

Comment on dire 'procrastination' en français?

Procrastination at it's finest begins now. I have my midterm tomorrow, so what have I done today? Walked around the city for 2 hours. I did go to Jardin Luxembourg to study for like 30-45 minutes with Shannon and looked at all of the cute French boys, but some studying did get accomplished.

I also made my first 100% on a quiz in class! After going out to the Auld Scottish pub by our place the night before and playing a drinking game to our vocabulary. But hey- it worked. I spelt everything correctly.

This weekend we also get a free weekend of homework AND it's a 4 day weekend, so the possibilities of things to do are endless. On the list? Eiffel Tower, Euro Disney, Catacombes, Thrift Stores, Chambord, day trip to London, who knows. I'll let you all know when I'm in Africa come Saturday morning basically. They speak French in some places there! :)

On an even better note though, the heat wave for Paris passed, and I can comfortably sit in my own room again. From what I hear though, this is just un petit pause, because there is more chaleur to come.

Also I meant to comment about this in the beginning of the summer but forgot. Research the engagement ring situation in countries you go to visit, because apparently France doesn't work like the USA. Wearing a ring on your right ring finger means your engaged (which is where I wear one and did wear one for the first week or so in Paris). Wearing a ring on your left ring finger means your married. So at least that rule still stands. But just for future reference- FYI.
