Hello there all! I'll bet that most people have given up on me and looking at my blog because I have been so bad at updating. In fact the truth of the matter is that I have been living my life and enjoying it so not writing!
But after much nagging by my mother I have decided to be a good girl and give it another shot. When we last left off I had gotten myself into a little trouble with some guys and had gotten myself a nice little shiner. The next big thing that happened was that my parents arrived in Angers which was wonderful to see them and absolutely bizarre to be the one who could actually speak the foreign language (usually it is dad with dutch). Mom and dad had a little bit of a hard time adjusting to the fact that everything in France is on a 3/4 scale to America like a land of little people.
I showed mom and dad around Angers and they seemed to like the city as much as I did. Mom seemed to feel at home because she thought that it was normal to go up to random people and start speaking in English, and after many tries I realized that no matter what mom was always going to speak English loudy, oh well. Dad had a little more skill in French than mom, however he could never grasp the idea that check please was not a French phrase.
After a week or so in Angers with fun times had by all and a little adventure in castle hunting in the Loire Valley we packed ourselves up and shipped out to Paris to a lovely bachelor pad in the 8eme arrondissement! Paris was fun and it was wonderful to see my sister again as well as the Dutch fam who brought us some wonderful cheese.
While we were in Paris we did the usual touristy stuff as well as had some random adventures like our old people cabaret by Sacre Coeur or when we went to the real cabaret in Paris and I was accosted by a cock roach mmm. The cabaret we went to was full of ridiculous costumes and way too much homosexuality between the men who were supposed to be going after the lovely topless women. IT was a gas but definitely bizarre.
After a few weeks away from home in the cold and balmy Paris air I was starting to get homesick (yes I said home) for Angers. Nothing feels better then coming back to your house after a long trip!
These days it is back to work, back to the same old shenanigans with a little vigilanty tourism thrown in here and there. As usual, I am attached at the hip to the other two musketeers, Bekah and Sam and we are taking over Angers.
We have these days called dream days in which one person has a so called "dream" and the others have to come along to help realize said dream. Sometimes these dreams are intense and overpowering, while other times they can be as simple as buying canvases, but it seems as though those are the ones that seem to turn into the grandest adventures. Including but not limited to breaking into a castle....yup did that....
Angers is cold and I am spending my time compiling my CV so that I can find a job for next year.
Miss you all and I will try to get better at keeping this updated!
