I think that I am really looking forward to coming home in three weeks. I keep checking my email, but no one writes. Including comments on my blog. I think I checked twice a day Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Today I finally had five messages. I checked them and they were ALL from companies I buy stuff from. Sad, sad day. I can't figure out if I am just impatient to talk to me friends (whose blogs I check regularly and am sad when they don't have new posts), or if my friends have finally gotten used to me being in France and can't find time to write to me. It's really not all that bad, my friend who just had a baby and her husband emailed me to tell me they had a baby, so that was exciting.
I have just over a week left in Paris and I am so worried that I won't get everything done that I want to! We are trying to pack it all in, but we definitely won't get to everything, but we have made a list of things that we must do (This does include going to Disneyland on Friday. How could I pass up Disneyland in Paris? Its like two fabulous things together). Then we spend the last week and a half in Southern France. And the beach. I have to remember to buy sunblock if I don't want to look like a lobster.
It is rather unnerving to have tests and papers and then have your teachers assure you that it is just so they can justify giving you a good grade. What does that really mean? I want A's in all my classes, but I know I don't catch everything I should. Especially in my Moliere class. Is she really going to give me an A, or will it be an A-? There is just no way to know your grade because it is unclear how we are doing in class!
I really didn't like going back to Daylight Savings Time. Now I'm back to being farther away time wise from friends and family, and its harder to call them. Or get emails at a decent hour.
It's getting warm here. Today I didn't need my coat at all. It was quite nice, except that I had to pack my coat around everywhere.
I am really sad that I feel like I am finally getting a handle on the language and now it is time to leave! I am FINALLY! understanding what people are asking me and now is the time to wrap it up! I feel like I am just getting started!
My luggage is going to be too heavy. I am going to have to pay for an extra 20 lbs. I bought too many books. Do I have a mild addiction to the written word? No, not me . . .
For the first time in my life I am trying to decide if I should watch all of General Conference. I plan on watching the sessions that are broadcast at a decent hour, but the afternoon sessions here are at night, and I'm trying to decide if I should stay up, past my bedtime, to watch them, or if I should take the time after the first session to see more things in Paris and then get a good night sleep. I'll probably end up watching it, if I know myself at all.
Ok, I think I am more than a little tired because the filter on my brain is completely shot and everything I am thinking is coming out on this blog.
Not to mention that every day, my legs hurt. Do I really walk that much? Maybe. But I am looking forward to taking a break and a long, hot bath.
Umm, yeah. Should probably get off the computer now.

Part of the problem is that it is spring and everyone gets busier. I do read your blog everyday - I just sometimes don't have time to comment. And you better mark your calendar, for I will be descending on UT at some point in July so we can all go see XF2 together. And we have to figure out how to have the MacChat!
I hate when people get busier. Including me. I will mark my calendar, and it would probably be easier to MacChat if I actually set it up on my computer. Maybe I should look into that.
I think that mostly I am just anxiously to really be able to talk to my friends again. And I'm probably mildly emotional.
Hey
I know I don't always leave a comment, except to thank you for pictures of things the girls are studying for school, but I do check you blog often. But, I am kind of a blog stalker if you will. Enjoy your last few weeks there!

I read your blog. :) And I should comment, since every now and then I think of something to say. But what have to offer is to let you know that I have a blog now too! You can check it out if you want....

Well, I haven't been on the internet in like 5 days. I haven't been to work in about that long. We are suffering from a cut in hours. And I usually don't look at the internet at home. Oh and you could read the Ensign conference edition if you miss some of the talks. That's always good!
I have quite a few blog stalkers, but thank you to everyone who responded!! I came home today to 12 new emails!! It made me feel much better.
Elizabeth - yeah for blogs!! I'm excited to read yours now too!
Cherbear - thanks for the suggestion. I try to read the Conference Ensign cover to cover since my Teachings of the Living Prophets class. Often I finish it the month after the new conference, but I finished it about a month and half before this one last time. If that makes sense.
