Clear Pavements

You ever notice when its raining how glossy and reflective the tar on the ground gets? You can see up when looking down. It rained it Paris today. I really liked it even though it was cold and wet, two things I do not like. Don't know why. Just in the mood for a rainy day.

It's Katherine's birthday. Yay! Mine is coming soon, hitting the 20s. Wow. It may seem young to a lot of people, but for a 19 year old, there are no longer 1's in front of the last number. Beginning of adulthood.

Anyhow last week was uneventful, lots of paper writing. Finished them, but not satisfied with either. Really, this study abroad thing has done terrible things to my writing skills. Went to Canal St. Martin and a little square by it last week with Katherine. Gorgeous. I love Paris. Can I tell you? Have I told you?

That's it. Why is Paris so amazing to me? She wants me to succeed. Know why Paris is a she? Because she has a bad week of the month. Every month.

Last weekend was World's Fair, can't say anything about it because I didn't go. Womp. Was writing my paper. Nothing eventful as far as going out last weekend, but Sunday we went to Auvers-sur-Oise and Giverny for a museum class trip. I really didn't want to go. But, it was really beautiful. Went to see where Van Gogh died, places he painted and his grave. Then we went to Monet's gardens and house, saw some places where he painted his pictures, and also his grave.

So, the pictures won't load. So no pictures for today. Success! Today it works.
Monet's gardens. Gorgeous as usual.

Probably my favorite picture of the trip. I have about 150 pictures. I think two will suffice. Ha.

This week is starting off pretty well. No class tomorrow. Score. Boy? Questionable. Katherine's birthday outing. Done. Excited, a little. Oh, and most importantly grocery shopping.

Trying to make a documentary. Hopelessly failing.
