last night was the end of the year party at school

i almost didn't go because i didnt want to be bothered, but so glad that i went.

we drank, ate, exchanged gifts, talked, and most importantly i received my certificate!

it's so weird that this whole journey here is coming to an end. i think back on all the weird, hard, difficult moments here and i'm so thankful for them. a big part of me wishes i tried a little more harder in school, but i guess i can just try harder in the real world.

so many things to do when i get back home! for now, im going to enjoy my last 5 days as a tourist in this city and visit museums & shop!

1 week

i have one more week in Paris.

i'm still sick, but trying to look past that (so maybe a redo in a few months?)

i have so many things to buy.

i have so many things to eat.

i still have so many things to see!!!!! 

i had a mini freak out on sunday. realized that i have a whole new life/beginning when i return to chicago. although i truly look forward to it, i will cherish and always remember this alone time i had in paris. just me.

snow in paris! 

home sick

im home, sick for the second day in a row. this is my second time being sick in this city, and its much worse this time! :( wishing for my family and my significant other to cuddle me :)

you see that prickly, star shaped(?) broccoli thingie? finally found out the name---romanesco broccoli...!

last day of november

damn its SO COLD

went to Grevin museum today...its like a wax figure museum...it took like 20 mins to see the whole thing haha.

ate at Eric Kayser's boulangerie. yummiest sandwich and all it was-was a baguette (parfait in every way), butter, and a few slices of cheese and ham. the baguette sandwiches here are so funny. they hardly contain and meat (so different from the American generous portions) but the baguette itself makes up for everything!! i will truly miss eating sandwiches with like nothing in them!!!! ahhhhhhhhhh.

still cant believe i have only 3 weeks left... :( :(

its crazy how fast time flies by
its crazy how easy it is to take things for granted
its crazy how things are always changing, but how some people never change (for good or bad)

#31

Ferris wheel at Concorde, hipstamatic, taken by moi

I've been in Paris for almost 3 months and I only have 31 posts...tsk tsk.

The rain stopped for the most part last week but began again saturday night. SOO COLLDDDDDD. and since it gets dark so early I hate doing anything outside. hmmp.

I officially have exactly 1 month left in this city. What is left for me to do? This city has started to become my home and I feel like I am getting lazy about doing things...BUT you all know I'll do something about it!

It's exam week at school so we basically have the whole week off! I have internships all week so the only days I have off are Thursday (Turkey day!!) and Saturday! I'll be on set of a tv program tomorrow--something about Michael Jackson, Friday is a makeover party at the Gap (yeah Americain!), and Sunday is another defile (fashion show)! I guess they are trying to have us 3 monthers get the most out of our time left at the school!

I still haven't bought flowers here yet for myself. I was hoping visitor #1 & #2 would have bought me flowers but those boys are SLOW~~~~haha. 

I have so much shopping to do before I leave! Gifts for all (unless I end up eating it all before). I plan on buying teas, soaps, chocolates, & a couple of wines.

Speaking of wines...I've been a serious wino. I drink 1/2-1 bottle a night about a few times a week....hehe it's the best when the weather outside is cold!! 

more updates to come
