So I get a million dumb-blonde points...I added the blog to one of my Favorite Tabs and so every time I click on it, the post from Chef Peter on November 25th comes up...so for about two weeks now I have been wondering why nobody has been using the blog....duhhh.
So hello, everyone! This is my last week in Paris before I get to go home! I leave on Friday and I absolutely cannot wait. I have two exams and a paper left in the next three days, but spirits are high and I am so close to the finish line. I still can't believe I have been away for four months!
It has snowed in Paris this week and everything in the city shut down. Metros, busses, trains, schools..there was about two inches (max) of snow and everybody panicked. It reminds me of when the Toronto government sent out the police after a small dumping of snow last year...obviously they haven't been to Vermont!
I've been enjoying Paris more lately, after a very difficult month of missing home and just getting so irritated with the attitude of Parisians. Not the easiest people to get along with. One of the most surprising things was how closed-off and introverted young french people can be..I haven't really managed to make a lot of foreign friends even after putting myself out there.
On Saturday Peter is coming to visit me in Montreal and I will be picking him up in Burlington. He'll stay for a few days and then when I drop him off next Wednesday I plan on driving the rest of the way to Middlebury to visit my second family! Mama Beth-Can't wait to see you!!
Sometimes I forget that I am in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is so easy to just walk by the old buildings, the arcs, the Eiffel Tower, etc...and just not take in the beauty of everything. Yesterday I bundled up and went for a run along the Seine and had an incredible view of a snowy Notre Dame. Still makes me miss the back roads of Middlebury...
Miss you all and SEE YOU SOON!
PS. Connor, I hope we'll all be seeing that fabulous sweater this holiday season.
