Oh technology...

Hey everybody,
So this has been a rather uneventful and kind of stressful week for me, but fortunately today I took care of some stuff. I guess I will start from the beginning, Monday during the day I was feeling pretty upset with my host mom. Basically, I feel like I'm constantly screwing up, she has all these little things I have to remember to do in her apartment, and I always do them, but somehow not right, not good enough, I dont even know. But basically she just keeps repeating all these little things I need to do, just when im about to do them, its getting really old. On top of that, she hasn't done anything to try and fix the internet, which is such a problem for me. I basically have to plan my day around finding stupid internet access, so I can communicate with friends and family, not to mention coordinate travel plans, look up stuff for class, coordinate stuff for next semester, etc. My laptop is really big and heavy, perfect for wifi at home but not for walking around Paris, so my days have been really limited. Essentially, I was and am just feeling really frustrated by the whole situation, as im like the only person who doesnt have wifi at their house, and my host mom just isnt making much of an effort. So yeah, Monday I was feeling pretty crappy, annoyed, frustrated, and even a bit homesick, so I went over to Kristin's place to use her wifi before heading to Bar Cristal. I felt so much better, after venting to Kristin, and it was really fun just relaxing and hanging out, and talking to our friends the bartenders. They even played "Born in the USA" for us, and Led Zeppelin, which they remembered we like. It was really fun, Dan (one of the bartenders) even invited us out for a drink after they closed, but then realized it was a Monday and everything is closed by 2, haha, oh well. Tuesday was pretty uneventful, I stayed in and caught up on sleep, as was Wednesday until the evening...When my water bottle spilled in my purse...where my Ipod was...So essentially I broke my Ipod, and was very upset. Im going to wait a week to make sure its all dried out, and then try to get it going, but there's little hope...Also, I discovered there's no freaking Apple store in Paris, so I dont even know how to go about getting it looked at if it doesnt work. So yeah, basically I had a horrible night, called mom who made me feel better, and then went to bed early, resolving to take care of stuff today...which I did. I just talked to Madame Parnet (One of the people in charge at Sweet Priar), about the whole internet problem, and she is going to speak to my host mom about it. If for some reason she wont get me internet, there is another host family not far from where Im living now that has room for another student, and that has internet. So who, knows, I might be moving...We'll see. Anyways, tomorrow I leave early early in the morning for Prague with Kristin, where I'm staying with Heather!!! ( who is studying there for the semester). I'm so excited, it will also be really nice to see someone from home. So yea, there's the stressful update, sorry it's not a fun one, I promise my next one I will have returned from Prague and be in a much better mood. :)
Much love,
Brit
