NyQuil

Don't get me wrong, being here is probably the coolest thing thats ever happened in my life thus far but I'm not gonna lie... I wouldn't want to live like this forever. There are way too many schedules that you have to stick too and if you change the plan even the slightest bit, you could screw up your entire day and end up sprinting for 4 trains in one day

Example:
I went to Paris last weekend and it was so much fun! I got a whoppin 1 hour of sleep the night before so I was pretty exhausted when I got there at 11, but we had too much to do to take a nap. We went to the Pasteur Institute first (which was the main reason we went), and it was pretty cool if your into how his experiments worked in all, but I was really just way too tired to care that day. Even my teacher fell asleep. After that our group went down to the main shopping quarters of Paris. I'm blanking on the name of it right now, but Mark, my friend we were staying with, told us it was THE place to be. Personal opinion: over-rated, but hey. That night we had a bike tour scheduled for 7 and we were supposed to meet at the Eiffel Tower. It was about 3 o'clock. Mark told us we should take the Metro, but being the tight wad poor American college students we were, we convinced him that walking was a good idea. He was hesitant, but we walked. It ends up, Mark was right because about 6 o'clock we started to get worried that we were never going to find the tallest monument in the city. We found a map just in time and realized we had walked to complete opposite direction for a good 2 and a half hours and we were now scared we were going to be late to this non- refundable bike tour. Now just like everything else in life, when you need something, you cant find it. Metro stations are ALL over Paris, but we could not find a single one. But just in time we found a different train line that could take us to the tour. We arrived at 6:57, just in time to go get a ham and cheese sandwhich for dinner :)

That story only covers up until sunday evening, but unfortunately, I took Nyquil about 20 minutes ago and can hardly see my computer screen, which brings me to one last point. everyone here is sick. everyone has a cold and its getting pretty annoying. I just ran out of NyQuil so Mom if your reading this and you havent sent that package, please send day/NyQuil. but hopefully everyone here will get better soon. We just had our first test today and I can't say how I did quite yet, but I'll probably know tomorrow!

I'm also not travelling this weekend so I can catch up on all my studying so I'll be able to catch up on all my stories. My bad for not getting half way through this one... stupid cold-meds...

but before I type things so poorly that you can't understand, its 1 o'clock here which means early bedtime for me today! whoo!!

I swear I'll update more no worries :) Au revoir!
