another week in Paris

Hey everyone! so another week in Paris is passing by, I cant believe i only have about a month left! this week was jam-packed with the stupid application, as well as my big essay, which i think is actually coming out to be pretty good. I spent most of Tuesday working and running around finding internet access, as always, and spitting out mini-essays for my application. That night, I met up with Xavier to go see the new Jame's Bond movie, and he surprised me by picking me up in a car-pretty sweet, since he works for the rental car company he was able to use it. when we got to the theater we realised we had about an hour to kill, so we headed over to a nearby Irish pub and played a game of pool. I totally won, dad you would be proud (although not really because he just happened to be more terrible at it then I was), although I dont think he was too happy about being beat by a girl, haha, oh well. the movie was good, although i didnt remember the first one at all so had some trouble following it, but just watching Daniel Craig run around was fine with me ;). It was fun, and maybe I will see him again this weekend, he has mentioned that he knows some cool jazz clubs, which would be cool. Wednesday I again spent the day running around going to class and trying to get work done, and at night I met up with kristin again over at St.Michel. We went to this place specializing in Italian ice cream, as they boasted like 22 flavors of hot chocolate, which sounded perfect. instead of regular hot chocolate, what it ended up being was basically just hot melted chocolate, not what we were expecting but definitely delicious. so we talked and caught up, she had actually gone to a party tuesday night and met this cool Norwegian girl, who told her about another party on thursday night at the German House (theres a big university area with different houses for different nationalities). So me, Kristin, and Olivia ended up going to this German party last night; it was pretty fun, everyone was just hanging out talking and playing ping pong and foosball in their main room. We headed home a bit after midnight, as they had to close down; another good night, although i was pretty tired from all the work from the week. so yes, this brings me to today, Friday, i dont know what my plans are for the weekend, but it will be nice to have some down time in Paris, to finish up my paper and do a little more exploration of the city...Maybe the Musee d'Orsay. Anyways, gotta go watch a movie for my cinema class, but love you all and will write again soon! Brit
