(no subject)

Edit:     WOULD LOVE PLZ. AM WHORE.

Alright, I've been meaning to update my journal for so long, actually since well the 9th of July. And it's what? The 31st? *facepalm*

To start off, I'm back in the United States now, because my program in France ended on the 13th. I stayed for Bastille Day and Sunday, and left on Monday. I am glad to be back home, because I missed everyone like mad, but I get the incredibly strong cravings for real French baguettes. I cry just a little every time I see a baguette in the US. They're just not the same. Before I left France though, a lot of really awesome stuff happened.

in which i do an entry bullet style

  • This past couple of days have been pretty crazy. In total, I saw four churches in the past week. I also visited the Gutte D'or quartier, (18e arrondissment), the Galleries Lafayette, the Opera-Bastille, the Jewish Quarter (to get fallafals), and the smallish island right above the Seine (they have the best ice cream!).
  • I'm not really a shopping person, but there's huge sales going on right now in France. To appease my mother, I went to the Galleries Lafayette to check out the different clothes. I saw some really good guy clothes (maybe for my brothers) but there wasn't a good girls' selection. I debated whether or not to come back and check out the other levels of the Galleries later on this week. But when I took the escalator to leave, the escalator bit me! Seriously! Why does no one believe me? Ahhaaa. I tripped on the escalator and tore through my pants (which I was wearing for the first time ever) and scrapped my knee. And it looks like the escalator has incisors and my knee was its victim. X D
  • I have Princess Raydar! (As in Ueda Tatsuya) I'm not quite sure how I came to have this magical ability but, this morning happened to be the first time that I became aware of my new powers. My roommate and I were walking from our metro train to the exit of the station. All of a sudden I stopped walking and apparently had this confused look on my face. My roommate turned around and I was like "...Princess?" My roommate knows a little about my love for Ueda, and so she was like, "That Japanese  guy?...what are you talking about? You are really obsessed."  And then I kind of looked around for a couple seconds before I turned my head to the side. There was this huge billboard, that I had been completely oblivious of, for this Japan Expo in Paris. On one side they had the events for the weekend and one of them was jpop music videos. Right next to the jpop videos was a small, blurred picture of half of KAT-TUN. With Ueda. Of course, I would completely miss the huge billboard for the Expo, but intuitively catch the barely visible picture of Ueda. I am so proud of myself.
  • I watched the tegomass making of miso soup pv, and yes it was adorable. Although I'm pretty sure my favorite part was Massu talking about his difficulty choosing between two pink shirts. And then stating that the one he was wearing was more of a Yamapi-pink. Or Massu shouting out random english words. Then Tegoshi correcting him. "Veranda. Veranda." "This isn't a veranda." "oh."

in which a great many things happen


So I've been in France for two weeks, and I've done so much, and yet, it feels like i've done absolutely nothing! There's so much to do here!


Anyways, there's definitely a lot more that I'm really excited to see. I'm thinking of saving Musee D'Orsay for next Saturday as a gift to myself, but we'll see if I can hold out that long X D

I also have a quick plea to my f-list. I'm not sure if anyone on my f-list is into Super Junior, but I've recently fallen in love with them. I think they broke my brain, and I can only find episodes of Super Junior Full House to episode 7. So...after I get there, what do I do? I mean, if were theoretically to watch more of them, what should I watch and where can I find it? Oh man...this is a slippery slippery slope.

Also, I've started watching 1 Litre of Tears, and I get emotionally like woah at these things. I mean, this is really stupid, but I cried during the first 10 minutes of Pirates. And this goes against at least two of my firm movie rules: it has blood and it has terminal illnesses. So, inbetween episodes of 1LoT, what should I watch to make myself feel better. A certain someone just laughed at me when I told them about my emotionality. I'm so bad, I was crying at the end of the first episode. X D

France: the Adventure

Alright, I'm going to try and post about the past couple of days here in France--exciting or not exciting as it may be.  X D
( BEWARE: this is kind of an unjustified rant D : )

Crazy Cousins for the win!

Today my cousin, S, and I were driving to one of her older sister's wedding events. S has two sisters, one of whom is getting married this weekend, and the other one is getting married in a month. We were talking about weddings, and I was also telling her about the Hana Kimi news. She likes jdramas, especially Hana Yori Dango, but she doesn't follow the news as much as I do. So, I was telling her how Rui (Oguri Shun) is finallyfinallyfinally going to be the lead guy in a jdrama, and we were kind of gushing over that. We then kind of drifted back to weddings, and this is what we talked about.

Curiouser and Curiouser

Raging insomnia strikes again! Last night I had really bad insomnia; I tossed and turned for about 3 hours before finally accepting that I wasn't going to sleep. I finally got up around 4, read until five, took a shower, and then puttered around until 6:30 when everyone else in my house got up. They were all immensely shocked when they got up and saw my bed made, and myself all dressed and showered. Since I'd been up for about 2 and a half hours at this point, I was pretty awake and upbeat. (very good for me in the morning)
I knew that the lack of sleep would catch up at some point, so I broke my no caffeine rule and bought green tea on my way out. (It didn't work very well...I ended up accidentally falling asleep around 2 p.m. X D)

Today happened to be my Jury Duty day! How exciting! This was my first time being called to serve on a Jury, and it was actually somewhat interesting. I really would like to be on a jury, but since I'm leaving in a week and a half, it would've been really tight. I did meet some awesome people though and got some reading done, which was really nice. It wasn't how I would choose to spend my day, but I wouldn't say it was a bad day by any means. About an hour and a half before five (when jury duty ends) I was called to be one of the potential jurors for a criminal case. It seemed very interesting, but was expected to last 7-10 days and probably not start until Tuesday, so I was excused.
All in all, Jury duty wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. And because there's the one day, one trial rule, I'm completely done for the year. YES!

I know that I've gone crazy because....

I noticed that when I see people wearing clothes that are "trendy", but look absolutely terrible (i.e.they make my eyes bleed), I  catch myself wondering why their stylist hates them. That's perfectly normal, right?

In other encouraging news, I got my highest physics grade ever for my first Modern Physics midterm. I don't just mean in college, I mean ever, ever. And it's not actually that high of a grade. So, on the flip side of the coin, it makes me wonder why I'm choosing to be a physics major again... *is sheepish*

I also just recieved a confirmation that I was accepted to a study abroad program! That means that I'lll be going to Paris, France for six weeks! I'm so excited, because the last time that I was in France (or actually any other European country than Italy) was when I was 3 years old. I don't remember any of it, but my mom has plenty of pictures to prove it. Whenever I'd ask about going to Europe, she'd remind me that I'd already been...and if I didn't believe her, she had the pictures to prove it. Ah, the joys of photography/moms. 

Umm...sorry for the randomness of this post. I'm kind of all over the place because I just got this vaccine and I think it's making me space out. I think I'll take a nap before I attempt to do homework....
