I wish I would've known class was cancelled before I got to school...

Well it's back to reality for me.
I spent the last week hanging out in London and Paris with mom and brian ( which I'm sure everyone already knows ).
We had a good time I think - I ended up getting to spend a lot more time with them than was originally planned. Especially since I went over to London wed night instead of thursday afternoon because of the massive transportation strikes in Paris that started last Thursday. Good thing too because the eurostar trains didn't start running again until Saturday really. Anyway we did a lot of hanging out and whatnot - trying to enjoy the cities, do some walking. I will say that our gastronomic adventures were splendid. :).
I'm disappointed to be back at school now because I'm really homesick and have started to realize there is actually a huge long list of issues I have with Paris. I still love living over here ( in Europe ) but France is starting to get me.
At least I made it through the weekend okay after getting back from London. Kate and I went out the watch the rugby game Saturday night and Sunday we went to the Chocolate Show and tested strange things like "Mayan Cinammon Hot Chocolate" and absolutly delicious things like chocolate covered pretzels. It was a little spendy for not a whole lot of samples but it was a fun way to spend the afternoon.
I think like 9 days until fall break though - there's something to look forward too. I think my friend Kate and I are going to try and plan a trip to London and Amsterdam too so there's something to look forward too. Especially since I'm not sure if I want to stay here all the way until January anymore :(.

I'm sorry you are getting homesick, but we are all thinking of you, so you aren't really ever alone.

My friends enjoy the blurbs I read from your entries.

All the best my dear!
