Monday - Class the usual.. except after class I went and paid for the volleyball class only to find out later that I am the only one of the "Americans" that paid for it, so now I will be going by myself to get my moneys worth.. and that starts tonight because last wed - I bailed for something else (will be noted further on)
Wednesday - same ole same ole.. except for that night.. I was all getting ready to go volleyball when Steph comes online and tells me to check the news.. and then I call my parents and by that time.. I was in no mood to go to volleyball.. I had no motivation. I was lacking it in the first place lol.. sooo I decided to go to Johns party.. Kayte picked out my clothes lol :) cuz she wanted to and then we took a group picture and we were off :) It was his 21st bday party.. It was deff awesome it was called Club Love.. (his last name is love)
Thursday-18th I was supposed to have class but tutor canceled it so I got ready for my weekend in Paris and jumped on the train with steph in the after noon and we were on our way!! When we got to Paris.. tom met us all decked out :) lol It was great to see him.. then we made it back to his cozy apartment which is perfect in every way for him ;) and he made spaghetti and I must say tom is quite the chef!
Friday morning We woke up and head into the town stopping at their big mall I think can't remember what it was called something galleries.. but Steph and I took a cute Christmas Pic there ^ located up! then took pictures from the top of the building.. but in side the building was this goregous Christmas tree with all its lights :) AMAZING.. lol but after that we were off to the Lourve where we met up with Emilie Tom's GF - it was fun we say the mona lisa and ate a good sandwich and learned how to use the metro.. and fun stuff like that.. it was a busy day then we walked down their super expensive shopping street lol.. just for kicks right?? We also went out for dinner this night and Steph and I had a French version of Auflauf- sorry tom it just wasnt the same, but I did try tom's rabbit that he ordered and it was quite tasty to be honest, I would eat it again. 
Then on Saturday- We woke up and made our way to the Eiffel tower, granted we didn't go up because the line was 3 hours long, not worth it. But we took some fun pictures of the group and I attempted to take some artistic ones. I think one of them turned out quite well! Then we went to the arch.. and went up on top at night and it was awesome.. took some pretty cool pictures and we had a sandwich and just overall it was a good day. And the weather was amazing!! The sun was shining and the clouds were away.. it was a great day to just sit and relax! 
Then that night tom made some delicious Hamburgers and salad.. we just could not get enough off. Also this was the day we tried some really famous pastry.. called Macaroon, except I'm pretty sure I spelt that wrong haha (sorry guys), but anyways they are like sugar waffers with like a jelly filling and they are really good but deff pricey. I would buy them tho, on occasions lol
Sunday we made our way to Versailles.. Which was cool.. I tried to re-inact a picture that I took last time I was there I wonder how I did? hmm.. lol.. anyways it was raining this day so it wasn't as nice out so we did not really go into the gardens but that happens soo.. oh well.. atleast we got to see it :) Then for lunch i had spaghetti and steph and some famous beef cooked in wine. which was decilious she let me try it and then I also tried duck, which tom ordered.. I was just trying everything haha.. I feel kinda bad.. oh well atleast now I can say I've tried it ;) Then we went to Notre dame later that night and it was beautiful. Last time I was in Paris I only got to see it from the Boat on a river. 
So We went in side and I could not believe my eyes.. It was like straight out of my mind how I would have pictured it to look. beautiful gothic arches and structure.. it was mind blowing.. I took tons of pictures. Another cool thing about going to the church on a Sunday there was a mass taking place.. and I got to witness it.. well I mean the others did too.. lol.. :) It was extremely cool and once again I lit a candle for Lita May- She would have loved it there! After that we headed back to his apartment and watched Ice Age 2 and The dark night while he worked on his paper that was due on Monday lol.. and then later we ate Butter noodles and Salad and he had Butter noodles and Steak at midnight that's right we know how to live :) 
Anywho Monday was the sad day- The day of Departure.. we packed our things the night before seeing as we had to be up by 5:30 to leave by 6 to catch our train at 7:04 am! All was well we said our goodbyes and see you soon's with promises to come visit again.. in either country :) yay!! We made it back into Marburg at like so we had missed one of our classes, but that is okay.. we are allowed to miss 8 hours of class and now I've missed 2 hours not to bad if I do say so myself :) Then I did some abs and Worked on my hw for tuesday ;)
Speaking of tuesday.. it went by rather fast.. had tutorial gave my presentation did a decent job he was happy with and so was I :) Then after that I BOUGHT a LAMP for 13 euros.. :) including the light bulb its blue and I think I will design the lamp shade sometime when I have free time right now its white.. :) I'm so excited for it :)
Then since kayte's family was in town we were going to go to Paprika.. but then plans changed and we were eating in CWH 111 Kitchen with Paul Cooking .. yummmmmmm .. hes a good cook!
So I headed over there and met up with Kayte's family, Beth, Susan, and Paul it was fun :) Paul made beef stew.. it is soo good and he makes it extremely well and we also had the amazingly cheap and tasty garlic bread :) Then we sat around and talked for a while just shoot the shit as some people say.
We talked about how weird it will be when everyone leaves and how its gonna be weird not seeing the same people.. by this time it was just Kayte Paul and I. We tend to have a lot of conversations like this.. I'm really gonna miss them.. I guess I'm just gonna have to visit the coast.. sometime in the future haha watch out NJ & PA here I come haha.. but when I have money haha
Well now we are on today.. had class added the finishing touches to my paper and now I should prolly do my other paper.. but we will see how that goes its only 2. Normally I would be going to Conversation Course.. but itw as canceled because my teacher is sick, so I have the afternoon off and I have already gone food shopping :) So I'm stocked up for a bit, which is deff a good thing.. and tonight is volleyball ;) I'm looking forward to a good workout!
BTW- Happy Thanksgiving ahead of time!!! I hope everyone has a great Turkey day- my plans for tomorrow are to go to my tutorial for one hour then buy a vaccum hopefully and then Dinner with some friends and then hopefully skyping with the family :) Well till the Turkey Gobbles have a good one!
