So this weekend I got to go see Daney in Paris!!! So my flight is on Friday at 8pm. I have my FAVORITE class on friday, Justice and Revenge in Literature. It is really interesting but also I have a HOOOOTTTTT German teacher. Anyway I had to leave this class a little early, and I was talking ot my teacher, Andrius and he goes "Are you really leaving Jennifer? My star American pupil...?" and I said yea I had to but in my head I was like mdkfjhsjkghesuih I LOVE YOU lol...don't judge me! So I leave for the airport, and get there fine, early actually. Here in England they don't believe in giving you your gate number untill like a half hour before your flight so I had to wait in a lounge..when it was time ti board I went to the gate only to discover I couldn't find my phone! All I kept thinking was I will be in Paris with no communication to Dana who speaks the damn language then I started to worry about Dad. "How could you lose a phone Jennifer...your not getting a new one..." Then I started to tear up I ran all the way back to security who saw me in a frenzied state and six of them huddled around me, and they were really helpful. This amazing man was like let me have your bag and we will put it back through the scanner...so he comes back and is like I can not open your bag but check this side pocket...SURPRISE I'M A DUMBASS! There it was staring right at me...GYPSY PHONE! All the gaurds were really nice and all hugged me, I guess I looked like a basket case, then I had to run through the airport to the gate...everyone was staring, I fell into my seat cursed for five minuets and then went and ate a whole chocolate bar..it was well deserved. My flight was fine except for the damn air speed bump that scared the hell out of me and totally did the KFC pee thing ( you know what I'm talking about Dad!)
I finally land!! I had to wait in line for customs which made me nervous, last time I went to France they were not very nice at customs, but I got through in a flash, they loked at it and said have fun! Dana was waiting for me outside the gate and we ran to each other as if we were lost lovers..awkward for those around us but we did not care! That night I was staying at her place with the host family...SHE LIVES IN A MANSION!!! I walked in and peed myself! This place is bigger then our house at home...and it's on the Cheyennes Liaise and here kitchen looks at the eiffle tower!! And her room is sooo cute, high ceiling and pretty curtain a fire place...heaven pure french heaven! The next day Dana had a test so I slept in and showered. I was not fully awake when I went to shower but I should have remembered from Dana talking about it..the shower is not real, you have to hold the thing where the water comes out! So I turn the water on and the hose is laying in the tub and then it came to life! The damn thing started snaking every where and getting the bathroom soaking wet...it was rough. When dana finally returned we went to get my hot dog on a baguette! It was the same place and everything...I think Dana was amazed I remembered..fat ass does not forget food! Then we went shopping..it was a little market place, kinda like canal street but the French don't bargain. I got awesome brown boots that are the thing in Paris, I love them! After that we went to her Australian friends house, we had some drinks on the way there...like on the metro...hilarious! Dana also made me run through a metro card thing with out a ticket...oh yea I am a rebel! Around 3am we got back to the hotel and fell fast asleep in the amazing kind bed! In the morning we had a continental breakfast...it was GOD...hash browns, omlett bar, cheeses, fruit,pastrys, juice.bacon...really good stuff! We then went to Versailles, which is beautiful and big. The gate is in gold and the artwork inside is amazing, Napoleon def made himself taller in the portraits though...on the way home we were in the train station wating and the doors that you would normally need to open with your ticket were ALL OPEN..key word. A gaggle of Asians came in and tried stuffing there cards in and the machine wouldn't take it, then to top it off they would start to walk through and just when you think they were going to make it they'd run back as if there was a force that would shock them if they crossed the line. Finally some English guy just ran through and all the asians started jabbering a way and then one guy pushed another one through and they all paused and then cheered when he got through...like they were shocked he lived..that right there was PRICELESS entertainment!
Then I had to go home...sadness but only cause I was leaving Dana...Paris is all right but I am a London girl at heart! I got home with no problums and now am back at the dorm typing this up..and I just looked that I will be in the USA two weeks from today...I am really sad about this!
