Checking In

What happens when you get caught in a torrential downpour in the Latin Quarter with your friends? You cover your head and run into the nearest cafe and order a bottle of wine, of course. What happens when you drink so much at 2 in the afternoon? You get a hangover before you even touch dinner, of course. Example: This girl.

This is going to be a short entry. Mostly, I'm just checking in. Greetings from a little bedroom in Boulogne, where yours truly sits on her bed with a raging headache. Stupid Victoria, stupid, stupid, stupid.

This week has gone by so quickly! This weekend will mark the 3-week anniversary of my arrival. Almost a month, how crazy. My class and I are going to the Chateaux de la Loire for the weekend; from what I understand, there are quite a few enormous castles that we'll be seeing over these next couple of days. Updates will come early next week. I'm sure you're all sitting on the edge of your seat about it.

During our little excursion to the Latin Quarter today, we stopped into the Eglise Saint-Severin, which was truly beautiful. I took a few minutes to watch a women have a very active conversation with God, (out loud), as she casually sat on a pew. I always like to observe people while they pray. Their processes are so different. Some are silent, and almost seem stoic. You can tell that some of them are really concentrating on their thoughts. And some, like this lady, act as if they're having a lunch date with the big man himself. Frankly, it looked like she was having a fantastic time. I was almost jealous of her.

In other news, there is no news. I've got an early bird special tomorrow morning, getting up around 6am Considering how I feel right now, I best get to sleeping. Or, at least something that doesn't require brain function.
