another week..

Alrighty then, what has been happening this past week...?
Well.. we finished up our trip to paris in style, visiting the sacre coeur and going shopping in old paris. it was fantastic. Our youth hostel was top notch too! we were staying at the Plug-Inn hotel :)
When I got back to belgium i stayed with my friend one night and we went to see 127 Hours. It was soo good!!! ::)
The next day i went to meet my family at the seaside. the first day was average weather so we went to Bruges (so cool) then the next few days were loooovely :) so we spent our time go carting and bikeriding beside the sea followed up by some sand castle making and kite flying :) ahh it was fun!
Monday was back to school as usual. It was good to see people again, but... school isn't exactly my fave hangout haha. On tuesday my friend convinced me to skip school (it was only english and religion really) and go to brussels with her. it was pretty fun! Except when she took me on a walk to find the park, telling me she knew exactly where it was, then leading me in the wrong direction for 45minutes haha. Buuuut it was all good in the end :)
Well yesterday was wednesday and I decided to go to my friends to another city for a student party! it was pretty good too :) buut we didn't get too much sleep haha. soo last night was sleeeping night :)
Oh yes, so thursday and friday are days off this week in my school :) Which i don't mind at all!! haha.
Oh well i'd better get going, i have plans to meet my friend for lunch! yum haha
byyyeeee

PAAAAAHRIS =)

Well here I am coming to you from the youth hostel kitchen in Paris. its our second night here. WE took the bus here and almost missed it due to late trains, but i all sorted itself out in the end, besides being hated by the bus diver. After arriving here we went to the Louvre for a wee looksee around. it was fairly aweso;e i ;ust say. after a stroll through the gardens we carried on up the champs elysees and took a lovely photo of the Arc de Triomphe. We decided to stay in that night cause we were all dead on our feet<
This ;orning we had our free breakfast then set out for the perfume museum which smelt delicious i must say.. then we found a supermarkeet to buy delicious goods for lunch and dinner. we then wined and dined 9literally0 under the eiffel tower. it was extremely romantic. after that it was time for the notre dame, pompidou then back for eat time!!!
Both nights we made a short voyage to the night store for some lovely wine :)
So Johanna it seems has shit luck. Firstly she takes money out of the wrong account meaning she has none left for paris< then<<.... blah blah many things then we get a ticket control in the metro. she cant find her ticket. she gets charged 40 euros for that. she has like 20.... hmmmmm.... so, she has no money now.... haha.
anyway. ill update this again later
bye xoxo

My time is slipping away!!!

Well another week has passed and now i'm starting to fret!! It seems like time is just going so fast, and there are so many things I still want to do...

Last weekend I was supposed to go to Holland to stay with a friend and see a My Chemical Romance concert. However it didn't work out :( It turns out the week before my friend (whom I was going to stay with) went to London and couldn't contact me throughout the week. Turns out she didn't have the tickets anyway though so no real harm done! I'll just have to go another time! Instead I got to Skype the fam :) which was really nice!

Well.. This weekend I'm going to PARIS :) wahooo!! haha. Then when I get back on Wed i'm going to the North Sea with my family :) So that'll be nice!

I did my "New Zealand" presentation for my geography class and my famil and they both really seemed to enjoy it! My family said they now wanted to visit NZ :) So that's exciting!! Also my younger host sister said she wants to name one of her children Harriet. I am so awesome. Obviously :)

Eliza's mum came over from Latvia to see her on Monday and I got to meet her on Tuesday (I got to impress her with my latvian skills). She was really nice, but made me a little jealous... I've been daydreaming a little of what it will be like when I go home, thinking of all the things I want to do. Then I remember all the things I want to do here and think "golly! One thing at a time!!"

Oh yeah, so Tuesday I heard about the earthquake - it was on the news here for a few days. It made me so sad.. and also a little homesick - like I felt I should be home at a time like this. It was really touching having people coming up to me concerned and curious about what was going on. I've been reading the online reports and have cried a couple of times (I don't see how you can't!)

Well... That's all I can think of right now. I'll let you know how i go in PAAARRRIIIIIS :) :)
