Look at how cute this is. First of all the Eiffel tower in the background of the girl with roller skates on is priceless. I want to go there and do that. and the second image with the little old lady staring at the foxy vixen (who needs to eat a baguette avec poulet crudites maintenant)

its classic.

porquoi

so i realize that i'm no longer in paris *tear* and that I specifically made this blogtocater to my parisian/european adverntures. but i'm deciding to keep it and write in it when I miss parisian/european things. or when i'm remembering good times in europe (that i didnt write about) seeing that there are a lot of things that happened that I never wrote about, I'm expecting many more posts.

anyways. i miss paris. I think americans are just... eh. not too special and WAY TO NEGATIVE.. why why so negative people. parisians were just all floaty and sexy and had cool accents and ate nutella and had baguettes. and just chilled. why are americans so uptight and dirty. ew. i cant wait to go back.

paris je t'aime.

Ladies

I've discovered that I've met a lot of new people in paris, girls and guys that i feel truly honored to have met and can see myself being best friends with far long into the future.

its funny how you could go to the same school and only meet one another when you're in a completely different country. regardless. thank you paris for exposing me to them. <3

Paris, je t'aime

Food Race!

"Today, I was eating a hamburger on the street when a pigeon came down to take a bit. I ran and got 30 birds or so chasing me. My legs were burning, half of my burger was gone, and an entire office building was laughing at me. FML"
-FMyLife.com

i was dying when i read this one, and than i realized the seriousness of the situation i would be truly upset if my hamburger were eaten. but than i thought reasonably about this.. and this could never happen to me.. porquoi? parce que i inhale my food.

i guess there is a plus side to being a fast eater :)

s'il vous plait.

ps my eye is 100 percent at least i think it is. yay! but now i'm four eyed again in paris nonetheless. :)

Mes yeux

Oh i forgot, i think that means eyes maybe eggs. haha whatever, so i have to write this down

so i was wearing my green contacts <--which i love btw anyways in documentary my left eye becomes fuzzy, i mean like as if i were in a dream fuzzy, i think nothing of it i'm just like oh i just need to move my contact, anyways i do that and it doesnt go away.

Than after meeting up with mommy i take my contact out and realize that its still fuzzy and that the problem is my eye itself...yup i started to flip. so then i get home immediately take out my contacts and start rinsing my eye sticking myf inger in it trying to move whatever it is.

fastfoward 10 minutes

it has gotten worse to the point where when i close my right eye (the good eye) i cant see anything but fuzz out the left... now i'm fucked.. especially since my mom looked and she said and i quote "oh you have a white film over your eye" <----- EWWWWWWWW

anyways i decide to chill of the contacts for a while and to relax my eye, maybe its cuz i'm tired or something, even though this has NEVER happened to me before.

anyways i just realized my eye even though still hurts and feels wierd is a lot clearer than it was! is this coincindentally linked with reading twilight? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i wonder

no but for real its better

Ma mere est ici a Paris!

yupyup mi mama is here in paris visiting me of course, but its nice to see her!!!

more on that later, so what i just realized after reading another chapter of my addiction, no need to type out the name.. haha, i looked at my hw due tomorrow for art. and realized that a. i have a drawing to do and b. i have a fucking portfolio due in a WEEK!!! i need to get my ass into gear and draw my little heart out. no fo real, i got a C+ as a midterm grade and that is far from acceptable especially from an elective such as art.

so now i'm off to draw, maybe read okay just draw
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

shopping

so, i thought i should update my blog since I've been a bad girl and havent written anything for a while.

Well first off lets just say I'm really doing this because I'm procrastinating on doing my paper that is due on Tuesday about heels <--- cool topic right? oui, mais now i have to research it and then write about it <--- lame,anyways my goal for tonight is to get some research done and 3 pages typed *minimum* its going to happen. than tomorrow i will get another 3-4 done and sunday i will finish. I got it planned out.

on other news, I'm all alone in the house, jeremy is out on spring break. I cant wait for him to get back because even though i'm not scared like the first time he left, i miss him terribly. and he keeps me in check. If he were here i would probably already have this paper done :(

AND my ankle hurts which is no good, cuz i dont have time to go to the doctor. I actually just called some and all the offices were closed, <--not cool. I'm going to try and call again tomorrow.

So today I met up with Jess and had our weekly lunch. Today we went to go get a yummy bo bon <------- LOVE IT. then we decided to go shopping and i bought some cute dresses and a jacket woot woot. i did get something productive (school related) done during this time, jess helped me film for my documentary of dolls and an antique shop. I loved it, got some good stuff and i actually got the man's voice which was good.

ok random thought have to do crunches and i'm listening to music.

YSL Fashion

So I realized that I have not really been documentating my stay here in Paris, and desperately want to change that. So I'll try and write an entry on a daily basis and state what has happened, or at least three a week.

So today I went on a field trip to go see the Russian exhibit and YSL studios. My class and I were shown some sketches that he had done, his studios, some samples and old collections! It was amazing, some of the stuff there were dated as early as the 60's and everything looked crazy. Some things I would wear and others were something I dont even think Carrie could pull off. haha. but it was amazing to see. It was here that I was hit with the fact that I'm in Paris and able to go and see where the actual designers came from, and stand where they are.

I was able to take one pic of myself with the manicans which was kinda creepy, just because I've never liked "life-like" things that weren't actually alive. And these models were uber thin, i like compared my body to theirs, and it was pretty eye opening lol. they are way too skinny.

brrr

i'm really cold, and am all bundled up in bed! brrrrrrrrrr

i'm going to sleep early tonight because i have to wake up super early to go to drop add manana at school <-- cross your fingers i get the classes i want!!!

the apartment

So I probably should've started this blog a lot earlier to record EVERYTHING that I've been going through since my arrival in the wonderful city of paris, but seeing that this was the first time I have internet in my own house <-- blogging was something of a problem. Anywhoo I'll be doing more of it this week because i'll be bored. Wheres the boyfriend? He's down visiting family in the southern part of Spain (pretty cool). I'm stuck here though with all my classes and what not.

My arrival was a rocky one I got no sleep whatsoever because of all the turbulence which was less than comforting to say the least, and once I got to the airportI had to seperate from Jeremy and head over to the AUP people to hitch a ride to what would be my home for the next week FIAP, which is worthy of a complete blog entry of its own. What did I do the first day in Paris? Well it was event after event as I was bombarded with information and a picture was taken of me that will follow me throughout all of my AUP career, the ID picture <-- yuck. Seriously unflattering and taken with such a low quality camera, you can hardly see me! lol

Anyways enough of that I'm now in my apartment!!!!! Location: amazing, we have a supermarket, a patesserie, boulangerie, and delis right next to us. Not to mention that the train station is pretty close. Pictures will come soon but its super cute. The only problem now is paying electric, but we'll figure it out so it'll work. Right now all the heaters are off and I feel fine. which is good since heat takes up most of the electricity! lol okay i'm yawning i'm heading to bed!
