Black roses and Silver tears

:: 2007 1 February :: 9.46pm

We went to Spain yesterday and came back today.

It was fun. We took a train down to Barcelona and stayed in this nice hostel. We went to a Picasso museum and cute little restaurants and stores.

One of the girls got her purse stolen so we had a nice little police station adventure. This guy sitting next to us helped point us in the direction of the police station and Alis had her stuff stolen before so she knew what to do.

Afterwards, everyone wanted to go out and drink all night. I told everyone I was just going to stay in our room at the hostel since I don't drink anyway. Alis let me call call Nick using her phone card and I cried a lot.

So I went back to my room and read Sense and Sensibility and wrote people postcards. Oh and cried for forever.

Every day is 100 percent better but I am only at about 43 percent now. People said that after about three weeks it would be just fine and I am beginning to believe them.

Anyway, tomorrow we will find out what level of courses we tested into and I have a bunch of stories but right now I am travelling tired so au revoir!

I love you all.

So France is getting better. Especially now that my family said Nick can stay with them if he comes to visit.

They seriously are the best host family ever.

I want to go home.

Not that France is bad, it is awesome, but I want Nick. And home. And my family.

And Nick.

Today is my last day in the states until June 3.

Tomorrow (January 24) we meet at the airport at 10:45 am.

Our plane leaves at 12:45 pm. We get into Dallas at 2:35 pm and leave at Kelly's favorite time of day pm. We get into London at 7 am (January 25) and leave at 8:40 am. We arrive in Toulouse (FRANCE!) at 11:30 am.

Pichot said we were going to rent a 10 seat bus and drive all over the place.

I'm excited but not enough.

And I miss you already.

I love you all.

P.S. Pray/hope/think for safe flights. I hate/am afraid of flying.

Well.

I am going to France on Wednesday. In an aeroplane over the sea.

I had a jam packed day today but I can sum it up with just saying that I cried a lot and I already miss people I just saw. Or didn't see because they left for Minnesota and my car is broken so I couldn't see them and they didn't call me like I stalker-ish-ly told them to.

Or something.

I finished all the shopping that I needed to get done.

I just need to finish laundry and finish packing.

Tomorrow we are going out to lunch/dinner for my early birthday/goodbye.

I am almost ready to go.

4 days, 14 hours

P.S. The Office is the best show on earth.

I have never had a phone with a SIM card. How do they work?

I can't find my iPod cord. I'm going to see if my other one will work or just buy a new one tomorrow.

I leave on Wednesday.

I got the cell phone. I don't know the number. It needs charged. It also might need a new battery.

I'm done with work. Tomorrow is last minute chores day. Saturday/Sunday is early birthday celebration day. Monday night is Jane Austin movie marathon night.

I will try to call all of you this weekend. Leave me your e-mail or addresses if you want presents, pictures or fun happy e-mails.

I love you all.

I need your addresses.

I live, ho-bags!

Anyway. I have not completely forgotten you, and there is still much love in my heart for Ye Olde Woohu.

I know several of you roleplay, so I thought I'd pop in and let you know that my forum has moved to a new, more accessible location.

Are you crying?

:: 2007 10 January :: 9.52pm

I can't get enough sleep.

I'm not eating (as much as I usually do).

I am stressed to the max.

Two weeks left.

And my car isn't working.

So as much as I want to spend every waking minute at Nick's, I can't. Stupid car.

Hey.

Have a nice day back at school tomorrow.

Suckas!

Are you crying?

:: 2007 5 January :: 12.24am

I haven't been able to go to bed/fall asleep any earlier than 2/3 am lately. I know it's just stress and things but I'm so tired of it. Literally.

I haven't been really France shell shocked lately. I'm excited but not as much as last semester. It's not noticeable, my excitement. C'est pas évidant, ma joie. My fear, on the other hand, is pretty evident.

I'm going to finish reading this article on Crime Library and then I'm grabbing my Pigeon book and going to bed. I work tomorrow at 9.

Did I mention my car wasn't working? I haven't tried it since Wednesday but it wasn't starting. We're going to test the battery and things before taking it in. I'm working full time until I leave but this lack of a car is killing me. I want to see everyone but I can't drive anywhere.

You guys have to come home once more before I leave. I wish you guys didn't have class so you could see me off.

Okay, now I'm nervous. I'm going to finish reading and stop thinking.

Remember to set and turn on your alarm, Rachel.

I love you all.

I keep thinking that I'm going back to school on the 8th. I go back to work on the 3rd. Hopefully then I'll get the schedule of when I can work during the time after classes start and before I leave.

I made crepes. Sort of. They turned out lame but it was my first time with my new happy crepe maker.

I'm afraid to go to France.

My parents got me luggage as an early birthday present. The thing is huge. I could fit comfortably in it.

So what're we doing for New Year's Eve?

25 days. 17 hours. Don't make me go.

I didn't do very well this semester.

I leave for France in 33 days and 11 hours.

I'm stressed and nervous.

I don't want to leave.

Happy birthday, by the way.

I hope it was fun.

The Bible didn't mention us. Not even once.

I am scared.

I love you all.

You are my sweetest downfall.

You know why I love my school?

I got an email from my Spanish professor asking us if anyone was going to Traverse City and could deliver a package for her. She gave us her cell phone number just in case we were.

Tyler Epps
I miss my cousin. I don't even remember the last time I saw him. It had to have been at his mother's funeral in 1999. We're really close in age so we were inseparable for the longest time. Mom says no one knows where he is anymore.

I used google to search his name and found a picture of him. It's from March. I'm going to cry. I never realized how much I missed him. He's all grown up with facial hair and everything... Apparently he was still really good at basketball. Hey, Tyler. Ty Ty. I miss you.

Just in case you google yourself: this is Rachel, your cousin. You should contact us or Mike or someone. What are you up to? How is everything?

I need to learn how to google bomb.

First Steve Irwin and now Peter Boyle.

It's a sad year in Celebritytown.

I was way too excited then quickly depressed today.

I saw Emily (!) whom I missed dearly which made me excited.

I also saw, for probably the last time ever, Micah, Tim from my creative writing class, CG and everyone in my creative writing class. Then in French I will have to deal with seeing Marah for the last time. Ever.

Stupid semester abroad. You screw up all my goodbyes.

I am thinking of totally not doing this paper for marketing but I sort of have to. It's all of my grade. But he wrote 0 notes on the one I have to rewrite (except for "good" and "okay maybe") so I have nothing to improve.

Exam week has me stressed and excited and sad. I miss people already.

Are you crying?

We wear our scarves just like a noose
So tomorrow we are going to Chicago so I can get my French visa.

Emily was going to come with us but she has to work on Saturday so she can't. Which makes me more depressed than you can ever know.

In other news, I received a letter telling me who my host family was. I emailed the last two students who had that family and they both said that was the best family in France. I am excited.

It's contagious.

I love you all.
