Hey.
People were right, after three weeks, this thing is so easy. I still want to go home sometimes but it doesn't hurt as much.
Today is a good day. Nick got a job, my 8 o'clock class was cancelled and my 11 o'clock might be cancelled too. I am tired but happy.
I think I can do this. Only three more months.

Amsterdam was awesome. I want to live there or at tleast go back.
London is alright. It has a different vibe than the rest of Europe. I don't know.
Getting re-used to the keyboard is a pain.
Nick I am online and you aren't. Oh but I just realised that it is almost 8 there. ha ha that is why.
Stupid time difference.
Anyway, having fun, going to a musical tonight.
I love you.

My parents are adorable.
I talked to my mom and dad yesterday. I mentioned to them both that I am usually on msn messenger after dinner so my mom got a hotmail account and had my sister teach her how to use it.
AND THEN my mom offered to buy Nick Vonage so he could call me.
AND THEN my dad said that after he goes to China and everything, he'll stop by and see me. Like Europe is down the street from Taiwan.
I love them.

I am pretty sure France is trying to kill me.
So far,
I have almost gotten hit by billions of cars (that is sort of my fault as I pull the European and just walk out in the middle of traffic).
I fell down on the bus and now have massive zombie rot on my leg/thigh (so massive that I cannot lay on that side of my body).
I just almost fell out of the 24 yr old's bedroom window (He left his shutters open when he left and it is really windy so I went to shut them. I grabbed one and I sort of left it there and went to stuggle with the other shutter which the wind had an excellent hold of. In my stuggle, I leaned out to get better leverage on the left shutter and the right one swung around and hit me in the arm. Another bruise.)
Maybe the right side of my body is just not meshing well with France.
Anyway, I love you.

Well our first class was cancelled which means I got up at 6 to take the bus at 7 for NO REASON. We don't have class until 10.
The weather here is awesome. It rained the other day but then cleared up and was beautiful.
I love you all.

1500!!
So I hit 1500 enteries on my giant movie list. That means that over the years, I've watched somewhere in the ball park of 1500 films. The milestone entry? Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston's The Break-Up that we rented yesterday. Fairly solid flick... tough to watch at times, but I can't fault a film for attempting to be realistic and anti-Hollywood for once. A pleasant surprise to say the least.
So at 2 hours a pop, that means, give or take, I've spent 3000 hours watching new films. Can I have a degree or something to show for that?

:: Music: Take Your Medicine by Cloud Cult
You can take it in stride or you can take in right between your eyes
Cloud Cult released a new album! First priority (after chili dogs, cheesecakes and mad makeouts with Nick) once I get back. I hope not all that stuff happens on the same day because I am getting bloaty just thinking about it. Gross.
Anyway, you can stream some songs off their website so that is what I am doing to distract myself from my 8 o'clock class tomorrow (which requires me to get up at 6 and catch the bus at 7:03).

I went to two bars on Friday and a mod concert yesterday. Yes, I am still not drinking. Europe and the legal ability to drink won't change that.
I have been here just over two weeks and people are right, three weeks is the charm.
I am to get my first France period this week. I know you didn't need to know that but it is just one of the many things upsetting me. I would be so happy without this women thing. I think I am going to be constantly pregnant once I am married. Good plan.
I had couscous for the first time today. It was delicious but it is messing with my organs. That might be the impending woman doom though. The food here is beyond good. I will never be able to eat pudding cups or American desserts again.
I am going to eat a chili dog the second I get off that plane. Oh and a cinnabon. I am not going to be able to live this long without a chili dog. mmm Chicago style chili dog... Oh I also miss cheesecake and cake.
France is the best place ever but it can never be perfect without you. Everything is so beautiful but I can't enjoy it knowing you aren't and can't see what I see.

We have a break not this coming up week but the next. Laura, Bekka and I are going to go to London then Amsterdam for a few days then back to spend the rest of the week in London.
Everyone is all 'it is cold in London blah blah' but it is not like we don't come from Michigan or anything.
Anyway, that will be fun. English and all.

"let it be hewn into your mind."
63 hours, 12 minutes later The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is officially a thing of the past. Very impressive game.
That is all.

A guy drove by in a nice car with his windows down blasting Ohne Dich while I was waiting for the bus to go home.
It made me think of Katie which made me miss her which made me sad which made me want to go home.
In other news, classes are easy so far. Too easy.
And France, at least where I am, is the best place in the world.
Oh and Nick can't come visit so I am depressed. And I want to go home.
