oh adventures...

alright, its been a while since i have updated. there is lots to update about.  before about a week ago i was ready to hop on a plane and head home 

spent the past week in france. started out taking the train into glasgow with val. my mom booked me a night at a hotel and it was so lovely to have a room to myself and watch lots of tv and just veg out.  my mom was so excited because the hotel was near the airport... turns out ryanair has there own airport.... 40 min outside of glasgow. at 12 after i checked out i went running for a cab to the train station to go on a 40 minute ride out to preswick. 

got to preswick and boarded the plane. boarded outside all quaint like. sat next to the world champion porridge maker. arrived in boveais (spelling?) and waited for parky.  neither of us realized how far away from paris we were going to be.  

the week led to some awesome times....

lots of french food, bought the cutest shoes, took a late night walk through paris and saw the rivers and cathedrals, spent time catching up with parky, saw amboise and where davinci lived and died, made a yummy home cooked meal, met some awesome assistants, had an awesome night dancing, and just in general some good times.


woke up really early today.  took the train to the train. got on the metro was so proud of being able to change trains and find my way around. then in french the conductor comes and says something about getting off the train. i go over and say "i dont speak french..." and i was told to go up and get the bus. so i was able to find the bus took some pictures of the arch. got on the bus, took the coach to the airport, found out my plane was delayed, finally boarded the plane, got to prestwick, took the train into glasgow and was told the train to edinburgh was on strike, got the bud to edinburgh and finally made it back to the hostel. to find out that the hostel screwed up my reservation so i called ali and val and came on over to crash here and watch the bridge to taribithia. saddest movie ever. 

and that is where i am at. move into the flat on saturday and you know taking each day as it comes.
