roses**

well, let me just first brag about my super sneaky and clever boyfriend. this morning i was alarmed to hear the obnoxious doorbell at 9:40 AM but quickly got over that when a woman delivered a dozen long-stem red roses in a vase! the apartment is so much prettier with them, and i know that i am truly blessed. and spoiled! :) thank you, benny!

in other news, dans le noir was not quite the experience i was expecting. well, let me rephrase that: it wasn't worth the 36 euro. i mean, i guess i can say that i'm glad i did it but overall, i wouldn't really recommend it. the food was terrible, to say the least. of course, i ate all of it because i was starving and as i've stressed before, i'll eat anything. however, i almost would have rather have had a sloppy joe or a big slab of pork. this review pretty much explains it all, and it's funny, so read it! afterwards, bridgette and molly paid a visit to our fav, the crêpe man down the street, while i enjoyed a ben and jerry's shake!

class isn't so bad, and i love watching all of the confused kiddies try to ask questions to madame stella. i know better by now. the bad news is, my phonetics class is at 8 AM for the next two weeks! AND, we have a make up day for bastille day. (bastille day is france's independence day, so no school. who in their right mind makes up a missed class due to a national holiday??? oh, the sorbonne.)

my parents are coming on saturday, and i am très excited! i can't wait to watch them try to speak french! :)

my beautiful roses!

oh look! i'm in spain, and i have no idea what's behind me.

tomorrow we're riding (i can't think of a better verb) a ferris wheel which takes you above the rooftops of paris! it's supposed to be an amazing view! PICTURES, promise.
