La vie en Rose!

You must forgive me! As usual, there is an excuse and it’s always the same one: I haven’t had internet in a while! The last time I came to the café, Microsoft™ Word™ wouldn’t work and I wouldn’t write the blog post. I don’t have a whole lot of time today to recount everything that went on in the past two weeks, but I would like to give you an actual update!

This past week was great! I started back my classes this Monday. Last weekend I was very much ready for the semester to be over and come back to the United States after spending time with my parents in Paris (BE READY FOR THAT STORY)! I started to count the number of weeks that rest before I come home. However, when I went back to class on Monday, I started to realize how much I am going to miss France! It’s strange! I don’t want to stay, but I don’t want to leave! It’s very bitter sweet! The day before yesterday, (Wednesday), I went to the gym and didn’t even workout! En fait, I worked out a little bit, but for the most part I stood around talking with my gym friends. We stood around and talked for about thirty minutes! It was awesome! After that I went back to the house and expected to have dinner with the Grousiers with little miss Benedict in her teenager mood as usual! That wasn’t the case at all! After dinner, I started to ask Benedict some questions and she and I talked for over thirty minutes! It was the first real conversation I’ve ever had with her! I don’t think she hates me as much as I thought! After dinner I got the opportunity to hang out with Rachel, Linden, Jonathan, and our French friends! We stayed and hung out with them until four in the morning! IT WAS GREAT! After that I went home and slept, only to wake up the next day and spend the entire Thursday with them! We didn’t have class on Thursday because May 1st is Labor Day. I even had dinner with them at a nearby “Texas” restaurant! We stayed out until midnight thirty! I LOVE FRANCE! I LOVE TEXAS TOO! Oh how I’m torn! One of these days I’m going to move my entire family and all of Baylor to France! I might even bring Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio along as well! That would be “La vie en Rose!”

Today I went to class and then out for lunch with Linden, Rachel, and Jonathan. We had Kebabs! Now I’m here in this café alone listening to Country music! Ironically, I’m listening to a song about a girl who’s parents sent her more money ;)!
