Other Stuff From This Week

Ok so Thursday afternoon after class, I went out and wandered around with my friend Michelle.  I REALLY like her.  She's a grade younger than me but she is so cool and very mature.  I am definitely hooking her up with my cousin Gabi, since she will be going to Wisconsin also in the fall.  Michelle and I both had some errands to run at an electronics store and then we got ice cream and headed to the park to eat it.  We sat there for like two hours, just talking. We had a really good talk.  I really like her.  Too bad she is in Geneva this weekend. Speaking of Geneva, I am meeting my friend Saad from Harvard there right after my program ends.  I think I'm going to spend the remainder of my time in London, but I really wanna find someone to go with me for my mother's sake, although I really wouldn't mind exploring London toute seule.  Yesterday I did some retail therapy after class and it definitely worked.  I bought Anna the cutest pair of orange flats!  I also got myself a dark grey metallic quilted pair of flats. I also found a place that sold super cute chandelier earrings for about 3 Euros a pair! Not bad.  They are at least $15 in the states. Last piece of exciting news: I weighed my self yesterday and the French diet is definitely working! If I finish a draft of my paper today, maybe I will go running before dinner and give my metabolism a little boost.  Maureen and I decided that we are going to look fab when we return to school in our new French bodies and French clothes.  Anyway I need a sandwich or something so I'm gonna run out and grab one then lay by the pool and work on my paper.  I'll let you all know how tonight goes! Andrea and I are probably going out with this kid Mitchell from my grammar class.
