With less than two weeks left in Paris, I find myself in the gut-wrenching predicament of wanting to/NEEDING to do so many things before leaving the country, and yet cannot compel myself to do ANYTHING when under such pressure.
So as per usual, I guess I'll resort to making a whole nice list so I can better evaluate what I have to do and by when.
Attractions:
- Maison de Victor Hugo
- Musée de Rodin
- Musée de l'art moderne
- Monter la Tour Eiffel ?
Homework:
- Study for art final
- Write draft for benevolat paper
- Study for theatre final
- Study for atelier plume final
- Write Parisian memories
- Finish end-of-the-year song
- Find someone to sing it
Things to do:
- Haircut
- NafNaf
- Pack
- Close bank account
- Make recipe book for host mom
- Pay for frisbee maillots
Those are all reasonable things to do. If I bring myself to do half of those things by the end of this week, I'll be in good shape.
I still can't believe that I'll be leaving Europe for awhile. I can definitely picture myself living here for good. Not in Paris, but somewhere in Europe. I've found through my travels around France that I love other parts of France a lot more than I liked Paris. I can't wait to come back and explore.
I'm also pretty bummed about not having a summer job. I hope that something works out. Being a real live grownup with taxes and insurance and a real job hasn't really sunken in yet. I'm glad I have a year left of college to figure it out.
I might try to write a whole nice resume of my feelings and everything before I leave, but for the moment, I have to get to sleep so that I can wake up in the morning. I have a language assessment in the morning to see if I've really learned any French during my year here. On va croiser les doigts !
Bonne chance! Tu vas continuer ton blog à ton retour aux states? One good way to keep up with your french is to watch tv shows or films...
ReplyDeleteLa tour Eiffel est un must!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ReplyDeleteWe only have 2 weeks left. *Cries and cries and cries*
Um, can I actually see you before we leave (as in, do something fun other than say salut/ca va at Reid and complain about la Quebecoise)?
How are you studying for that exam, by the way?
Also, I respect the decision to watched dubbed American stuff. It's the best!
just speak french here n there, and u'll have no trouble with the test, try to think in french too. Thats how I improved my english!
