:: 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.

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.

Today was my first day of school in France. So far it is waaaaaaaay easy. But I only had two classes. One, technically since it was the same prof but... they are still two different classes.
I live in the burbs and with class starting at 8, I woke up at 6 to catch the bus at 7. We had class from 8-12 then nothing so we went all over. I didn't buy any clothes today which is a good thing. I did buy a 5 euro crepe though. It was so good.
Anyway, every day is 100 percent better like I said but one thing can bring the whole day down. Today sort of crashed and burned. I am pretty sad now but I know tomorrow is another day and I am not going to die or anything.
Unless I die of a broken heart.
Or a plane crash.
Have fun in the snow, suckahs!

Loves.

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.
