Today I ventured to Switzerland with my school group here in France. It was...boring actually. There's not much in Switzerland except a big fountain, lots of shopping, people who speak english (amazing), fancy schmantzy hotels and lastly the United Nations building. I kind of wished I had stayed home and studied for my test tomorrow. Who's brilliant idea was it to have a test the day after a national holiday? Not so smart. On top of that I'm really hungry and tired and need to learn to conjugate like...15 verbs. I am unhappy.
My host family is gone which is good and bad. I'm hungry so there's not going to be food until they get back (who knows how long that will be) on the other hand I can study till my heart desires because there is peace and quiet and no little girl bothering me every 5 minutes shouting "regard! regard!" at me. Which by the way means "look! look!"
Happy birthday to Elrik who's always going to be older then me and who will always have his birthday on Bastille Day (which if your in France is a really big deal). Fuck you.
There are a lot of fireworks tonight but I seriously need to study. So I may just go, buy a sandwich and then go back and study. I'm sad that i'll miss the fireworks but hey, there'll be a lot of them in my lifetime.
On a completely different note I really want to enter a word finding contest because I am like the shit at it. I'm super fast. All those plane rides I've taken since I was 4 years old have really paid off. Oh fun fact about me. I have been flying solo ever since I was 4. Pretty cool, huh? I was scared to death about leaving my mom the very first time and I remember these crazy airport dreams I used to have. Pretty wicked. One of them involved little people. But that's for another time. So really I'm writing right now to stall for A. getting food and B. hearing myself speak yet more french. Why can't the whole world just speak one language? Life would be so much easier. I mean, why do we need to have different languages? It just makes a huge issue for almost everyone. I say almost because sadly there are people who never even leave the US or their own country. For them language will never ever be a problem...unless they're deaf. That'd be the one language I might actually be good at. Sign language doesn't involve talking...I probably should've taken that instead of french. Hm...things to think about for the future.
Which reminds me. I have so much to do back in Hawaii. One of those things is learning how to have my own business. My entire family can do it and make a wealthy profit off of it I just hope I don't fail. That would be seriously humiliating. I also don't want to be working for "the man" my entire life. I sure do hope my husband is seriously wealthy or that I'm seriously wealthy. I really care about material things and traveling. In order to have both you really need to have good money. Is that shallow of me?
Ciao,
