I haven't updated in awhile because I have been both busy and not busy. Being busy at school means no time for updating, and being not busy at home means nothing to really update on. But I will try my best now to explain what I am doing as far as Getting Ready For Paris.
One major excitement is that I bought my plane ticket! August 18th I will be leaving wee Anacortes for a (hopefully?) very very long time. I will arrive at LAX and spend 6 blissful days at USC with some of my dearest friends, catching my last rays of sun for awhile and the California lifestyle which I have truly begun to embrace and call my own. The evening of August 24th I will depart from LAX and will land in Washington, D.C. the next morning. I'll then have 6 or so hours to hang out at the airport...hmmm... before a group meeting at noon (can't wait to meet my 75 new closest friends!) and then our plane leaves at 5 pm (i think?) and I will arrive the next morning (i think??) in Paris. WOW THAT'S A LOT OF TRAVELING. But - thankfully most of it will be on Virgin my very favorite airline... and then Air France so, duh, that will be awesome.
Other exciting accomplishments are mostly just receiving my visa (requiring traveling to San Francisco by myself and stomping around all over the place) and not having to worry about that anymore. Oh and I got attacked by a dog (un grand chien!!!)... I survived that so maybe I can survive anything now?
I'm also reading Julie and Julia. Though quite summery and chiclit-ish I highly recommend it, especially for anyone that doesn't know a lot about French cooking - aka me before I started it. The writing is really funny and she makes all of these crazy/delicious/crazydelicious dishes from a crepe cake with mushroom cream stuff in between the layers (i want to make that!) to different "aspics" which are just cold meats with jelly on top which sounds especially disgusting and I don't look forward to chowing down on anytime soon.
Mom and I went kayaking yesterday which is a really awesome pastime. I'm also watching How To Train Your Dragon - kind of right now as I'm typing this - and it's thoroughly awesome. I really enjoy this quote from it: "Trolls exist! They steal socks... but only the left ones.... what's up with that?"
Well I would like to update this more often as I get closer to embarking (a little over two months!) but I'll just have to find more interesting and pertinent things to talk about. Oh - last night I taught my mother all of the french swear words I know (merde et putain - c'est tout). That is pretty pertinent.
