I was kicking myself from drinking/actin' a fool the night before, because I was a little tired and decaffeinated. However, I survived.
I got an annual pass to the museum and bought a book all about it because I plan on visiting many more times. There is so much to see and I fall in love with each painting and I just have to see them again. It's an easy Metro ride anyways. So I have a map of the museum on my wall and I'm checking off each section as I go. I got a good dent in it this morning. Plus I found a Christmas gift/souvenir for Mish there. Killin' two birds with one stone?
I went to a bookstore around the area afterward and found a little something for Jimmy too. The store was filled with awesome French literature, but I spent most of my time in the children's section. I found the most amazing book called Le Petit Voleur de Mots. The illustrations are so whimsical and perfect, I don't think kids would appreciate them enough anyways.
I had ratatouille for lunch and got a few things done before going to the center for galletes and crepes with everyone in the program. NOM.
As much as I miss being vegan, I had a delicious crepe for dinner with cheese, and a banana and nuttella crepe for dessert.
A few of us stuck around the center and watched L'Auberge Espagnole together. It's a feel good movie for sure. If you haven't seen it, please do. I can't imagine disliking it.
After that, Becca Kate and I went to a little cafe right next to the center for drinks. This place has happy hour from 3 to 11, so it's clearly our "new place" now. For Lucy, where ever you are roaming, I had the most delicious gin drinks, and I wished you were there to enjoy them with me : ) Gin fizz and some mix of gin, lime, grapefruit and salt called a Salty Dog. I love ordering things with English names here. You have to give it a French accent or else no one understands what you're trying to say. Un Solty Doug, s'il vous pliâtes.
Well I just hung up the phone from chatting with my dad and sister. I got to talk to Jimmy, Tim and Mish too. The best. Molly and I had a phone date, but I was stood up. So that's the deal-breaker for our friendship.
PLACEMENT EXAM tomorrow afternoon! Time for bed.
Bonne nuit :)
