just want to be done

I just want to be done. That's all. I feel like the things I have left to do aren't really adding anything to what I have learned in France (which isn't much because of the strike). They just seem like formalities. I want to be done so I could either enjoy my last weeks in France or be home.

I guess the only thing to do is get on it. I keep telling myself just do it, but then I find something else to do on the internet. I think that is very sad because it is a total waste of time, especially while I am here. So I suppose all that explains why I am posting. I am procrastinating.

ok back to work. ugh...

Back to France

Well...it has been quite some time since I last posted. My family came to visit, which was wonderful. I will try and put some pictures up soon. For now I will post the link to the family home page where dad has already put up lots of photos. Roberts homepage. As you will see, we ate lots of delicious food and recorded all of it with the camera. We all had such a good time exploring Provence.

I left France on the same day that my family did except I was headed for Wales. I finally got to see little Mari. She is very cute and so peaceful. I love her big blue eyes. It was also fabulous to see Mererid, Thanasis, Mamgu, and Taid. It really didn't seem like that long since I was there for a whole month (January 2008). I got to go to Swansea with Mererid and Mari where we saw some very interesting installations (well, I suppose Mari didn't see them since she was asleep). I also got to have some of Mamgu's lovely cabbage and welsh cakes. yum!

I would have loved to have stayed longer, but I had to go and see the Praeders (sorry no umlaut) in Germany as well. II had a great time in Germany. I went to a contemporary art museum with Anne, which was very good and right in the center of Cologne. I then went to Aachen with Lara and met her boyfriend, Jonas. I had a very pleasent stay with them, which included shopping and an exciting volley ball game.

Well, I should probably go now. I sadly don't have internet at my apartment right now for some unknown reason. I really hope it is fixed soon because I don't like going to the near by cafe to use the internet. For one thing, I always have to buy a tea or something and for another, they play horrible music loudly. I have lots of work in the next month so my posts will probably be less frequent although who knows, perhaps it will increase the number of posts since I will be wanting to procrastinate with something. I am super excited for the summer and next year at Wellesley. Summer in Boise is always fun and at Wellesley next year, my classes sorted out and I will be living in my first choice room. Yay!

I don't have time to edit so hopefully there aren't too many spelling mistakes and things.
Bye!
