What I've learned today...

French high school kids...are annoying.

I know they understand me, yet they act like they don't.

They know if they pretend to not understand you, that you can't do anything about it.

Until you call them out in French, they realize you speak it, and realize they can't act dumb anymore.

Then you tell them, if you want to ignore me, ignore me. I'm not the one who needs to learn english. I'm not the one who has to take a test in two months that I have to pass to finish high school.

Work at McDonalds...see if I care...just STOP TALKING!!!!

Ils font chier. Sans doute.

Just a little annoyed today!!!

Barcelona!!

Ok I know this is a little late, but better late than never right?? I know all you've heard about my trip to Barcelona was the bed bug fiasco, but we actually had a blast!!



We literally decided to go to Barcelona on a Wednesday, and we left that friday!! It was definitely a random quick decision, but we were so glad we went!






The weather was perfect, and we were just happy to be somewhere where it wasn't cold and rainy!

 I feel like we did nothing but walk....which is probably a good thing, because we also did nothing but eat! But if you're eating while you're walking, it cancels out right? 
One of the first nights we were there, we passed this never-ending sushi buffet thing, and decided to try it one night. In theory, its a good idea, but what we learned is NEVER go to a never-ending sushi buffet when you are STARVING. I don't think either of us had ever eaten that much, and after that we were soooo sick!!!


So we had a great trip,  met some interesting characters...and yes even got bed begs and screamed at the Spanish people who were pretending not to understand us. I don't think its a trip either of us will soon forget!!!

As promised!!

So I know my blogging habits have been well...non-existant. But I'm going to blame that on the fact that my internet has been so unreliable! Okay? Okay :) Soooo what I'm going to do (now that's its working of course) is start blogging again! YAY! And seeing as I haven't blogged since OCTOBER...where does the time go?!?! I'm going to do some retro-active blogs...sound good to you? Good :) But first, here's what's going on at the moment!!

What's going on, in a nutshell:

-Right now, all is well!

-The weather is amazing, its like spring has come early!

-Work is going good--all 12 hours of it a week :)

-I leave for Rome on Friday (insert squeal of excitement)

And that's about all there is right now :) I'm just drinking a lot of coffee, eating lots of galettes, and enjoying the beautiful weather!!
