Time to come home?

Another post about how torn I am about my imminent departure.
Reasons I am going to be heartbroken to leave:
Number 1: I went to the Bagel shop I discovered when Carolyn was visiting and the woman there knows me now. She knew what I wanted to eat and we made small talk for a while. Unfortunately, [...]

San Francisco!

Look another post within mere days of the previous one! I must really be bored now that no one’s around anymore.
I actually decided to write because the girl who I’m renting the room from just came over to see the apartment and say thank you and good luck. She just got back this morning from [...]

Longest (and most overdue) post ever.

At this point, I’m considering the trip to Italy a thing of legends. By this I mean that it’s been too long since it happened to try to recount it here, so it’s something that will live only in memory, not in writing. I’ll tell you about it in person if you’re interested.
I do want [...]

A jolly good trip to London

Ah, London. It’s no Paris, but it does the best it can.
I just got back to France from London and let me just say, trying to see an entire city in two days is kind of insane. It is especially insane when you try to save money by not buying a metro (or tube) ticket [...]

I’m not dead, I swear!

It’s been a while… but I swear I didn’t forget about the blog, although you all probably did since it hasn’t been updated in almost a month.
This is one of those posts that I am going to equate to a walk of shame. Because it’s been so long, it feels like it’s going to be [...]

French radio, c’est cool

I think I’m stretching it a bit with my title. I wanted to have something that would grab your attention. Truth is, most popular French radio stations play American music. I discovered this after I started listening to French radio to try to be more immersed. Funny.
Anyway, I’m just sitting here right now, listening to [...]

Woa!

I just heard the loudest thunder I have ever heard!  I know it’s probably one of those things you just had to be here for, but it was so cool! It lasted for at least a whole minute and now it is pouring down rain.
This post really has no other point than to share that. [...]

French?

So it’s 10:30, otherwise known as 22:30, and I am sitting here, getting ready to embark on a mission to go to sleep before 3 am. You wouldn’t think it would be too hard, but I’m finding it challenging over here.
My roommate made a good point to me this afternoon that I’m still turning over [...]

Coffee and random thoughts

So, I am sitting in a coffee shop that shall remain un-named. But to get here, I had to pass through a huge anti-Sarkozy demonstration and then I had a woman grab at my arm and call me bad names just because I stupidly made eye contact with her. So, in short, I feel vindicated [...]

Short and sweet

This is going to be a really short post. Basically, I just spent the equivalent of seven dollars on one boba tea. For the third time in the last week.
Conclusion: I need a cheaper addiction. Or I need to go back to Berkeley, where it costs closer to one dollar to satisfy my cravings.
One other [...]
