It's been a while so let's catch up....
Thursday I had my literature class and it was a snooze fest like always. For some reason the professor kept us 10 minutes after class so she could ramble on about some thing that had nothing to do with what we were reading. 10 minutes isn't that long of a time for a class to go over but the class is already 3 hours long, so yea, I think you would be dying to get out of it too. That night for dinner we had soup....again, and this lasagna thing Renee bought from the store. It was a vegetarian lasagna with spinach. It was pretty good for a microwaveable dinner. I tried to go to bed early that night but ended up talking to Chris and Amy on facebook for a while so I went to bed pretty late.
It was really hard to wake up Friday morning for my phonetics class. When I walked into the kitchen Renee looked at me and was like, what are you doing up already? She's asked me this a million times and every time I tell her that I have class on Friday mornings and then she's like ohhhh, right, I forgot. It was still dark out when I left for the metro. Class was pretty good. We have a mini test next week. I really don't know why especially if it is near the end of the semester. I don't even know if we are going to have a final. We got back our tests that we took before break and I got 17.5 out of 20....pretty awesome! After class I met Amber outside and we walked through Jardin de Luxembourg to this cafe that has a cheap student menu. You get a sandwich, drink, and a desert for 4.50 or something like that. After that we walked to Gilbert Jeune, a huge bookstore. I really love bookstores! We went into the French section and found the translated versions of Twilight and New Moon. When there isn't a word that translates the right way they have footnotes at the bottom of the page explaining what it means. It's pretty cool. I ended up buying a used copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in French. It was only 7.10 euro for a used paperback which I thought was a pretty good. I hope that I'll be able to understand it. I have read it in English twice so I hope it won't be that hard. I'm looking forward to reading it. I just have to finish Atonement first.
That night Renee came back late because she had to go to the doctor for her knee. He told her that she needed to stay off it and told her to take 2 weeks off of work. So I guess she's on vacation now. Then she was like, so when are you going home? and I was like ummmm June.....and she's like well aren't you going back for your break? and I told her that I couldn't because the tickets were too much (over $850) and I just can't afford that. Then she said something about making me dinners and I really didn't understand what she meant about that. It was just a really confusing conversation.
Today I went to Galleries Lafayettes with Amber. It is this HUGE department store. Every floor is broken up into differnt parts. For example, the basement is shoes, only shoes. The next floor was purses and accessories, the next designer clothes and so on. On one floor it was all jewerly and right when we got off the escalator I saw this giant Cartier counter and I was like WOW....then I looked to my left and saw the Tiffany & Co. counter. I think I looked at all the stuff for a good 20 minutes. I was just in awe. I would LOVE a necklace from Tiffanys. Something like this perhaps: http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?fromGrid=1&sku=GRP02488&mcat=148204&cid=287465&search_params=s+5-p+1-c+287465-r+101323338-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+#p+4-n+6-cg+viewPaged-c+287465-s+5-r+101323338-t+-ri+-ni+0-x+-pu+-f++ or this: http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?sku=GRP02215&mcat=148204&cid=287458&fromGrid=1&search_params=s+5-p+7-c+287458-r+101323338-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t++ A girl can dream right??? maybe one day I'll find a kind gentleman who will give me this: http://www.tiffany.com/Engagement/Item.aspx?GroupSKU=GRP10001#f+0/0/0/0/4001/4001 .....YES!!! anyways, I'm done dreaming. We didn't buy anything at Galleries Lafayettes because everything was really expensive even though a lot of the stuff was 50% off. We went to H&M and I bought a dress and 2 bras. I bought them without trying them on because the line for the dressing room was seriously halfway across the store and I knew I would have been standing there forever. I figured that if they didn't fit I could always return them. The dress ended up fitting but the bras didn't because clearly French women don't have boobs. I was angry too because they were super cute! We went to this other store called Printemps ....another department store but didn't find anything.
I have a lot of homework to do so I'll probably do that tonight, actually that's a lie, I probably won't, I'll watch a bunch of HIMYM and look at stuff on the Tiffanys website...so I'll probably be doing homework all day tomorrow.
A bientot
