Arg

So all I've done these last few weeks is basically read, go to the library, where I read, then return home, where I read and watch Robin Hood. Here is a run down of the highlights of my life, but first. WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE TANDOM PARTERNE!!!!! I need to know.

1. I visited Alison and Lauren. That was basically the best part of my entire semester. I was so happy to see you both and be cold and drink lots of vin chaud and spend like 48 hours and a Christmas market and still not buy anything. By the way, that cold that I caught, still not really gone. I am pretty sure that I have pneumonia. There was of course the Assassination museum, which was fun. No Zhao, it was not a museum about assassins, but rather it was the Alsaceian museum but I couldn't understand Alison when she said that, and I was like 'Well Alison that seems interesting...but I'm not really into assassination anymore...oh, the Alsacian museum...I feel stupid...let me detract attention from my stupidness...oh i can't do that because it is so obvious."

Here is a brief rundown for Zhao of my disasteroust trip home which pretty much killed.

5pm Leave Alison and Lauren at tram stop

6:50 Ask Air France woman what is up. Oh, your flight is annulle. What! Come with me.
6:55. Am distressed and switch to English. Oh, did no one tell you about zee flight? Non- looks pathetic. Ok zis is what we do, we fly you to De Gaulle, and you try to fly out of there. If not, you fly out tomorrow at 7:30 am and you go to class. This is good? Can I sleep in the airport. Pause...no, we give you hotel room. *I fall in love with France* Oh, oh, that is great. Yes.
