Place your hand in mine, one last time.
I’m gonna make this short and sweet because I’m beyond tired and the thought of my 8 am class tomorrow is making me want to stay sick longer just to skip it, haha.

Sombre Samedi
La list des choses de la France qui va me manquer quand je suis aux États-Unis, continuée: 3. La langue française — the French language: Ben c’est déjà la fin de la journée et je n’ai rien fait. J’étais en train de me coucher quand je me suis rendu compte que je n’ai pas réflichi à ce qui m’a ému aujourd’hui, qui me manquerait quand je rétourne aux...

Bonjour Docteur, comment allez-vous?
Things I’m Going To Miss About France Once I’m Back In the United States, continued: 2. Cheap/affordable health care — As we all know I’ve been sick for the past five or so days. I’m one of those people who doesn’t usually like to go to the doctor, unless it’s for a good reason. But if I have a cold or the flu for a week, I find it pointless to go to the...

Right here, right now.
So the other day I was lying down, wallowing innocently in self-pity, thinking about all the things I miss about home (this is what happens when sickness takes over my schedule and thus I have nothing better to do than to let my thoughts take over my mind). Anyways, I was dwelling on everything I miss from home and how I can’t wait to be back, when I realized… HEY, you’re in...

I'm still the optimist, but it is hard...
when all you want to be, is in a dream. I’m, once again, SICK! I’ve been sick like every two weeks for the past month and a half/two months, I’d say. Seriously, I think this is the third time I’ve been sick in recent memory, and I was just sick two weeks ago, and two weeks before that. I dn’t know what it is. But I’m not going to class, although I probably...

10 Week Countdown...
In exactly 10 weeks from now, I will be in the comfort of my own home and reunited with my family and my puppy! I really am not sure what to think and how to feel about that. It’s kind of a bittersweet feeling. I really miss my family and friends and so many things about home, and I’m so excited to have those things and see those people again. I’m looking forward to just being...

25 Albums That Have Influenced My Life
Think of 25 albums that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life or the way you looked at it. They sucked you in and took you over for days, weeks, months, years. These are the albums that you can use to identify time, places, people, emotions. These are the albums that no matter what they were thought of, they musically shaped your world. They stood up, they lasted, they mattered....

No surprises, please.
A few random thoughts that have been making their way through the archives of my mind in these recent weeks since I’ve written anything of depth or importance… First and foremost, I’ve been having this re-occuring thought lately of how great my iPod shuffles have been. Every time I choose a song to fit my mood and then just let chance take the wheel, I seem to be consistently...

i can't wait...
to come home. i hate to say it, but i really can’t. i mean i can, but i can’t. there are so many things about home that i miss right now, but mostly the people. i need to write in here but i’ve been much too busy as of late. soon. for now i just need to sleep. i’m arriving at conclusions that i don’t really like…
