Hang on a litte longer


I am trying to hang on just a little longer. The end of the semester is nigh...but not nigh enough.

I feel like a gymnast hanging on to the uneven bars by their fingertips. Straining with all my might to stay up there for one last spin before I dismount.

One more week of classes and then finals. Then 2 weeks 'til I board the plane headed to the city of lights (Paris).

Travel arrangements



Travel arrangements.


What can I say? It's more frustrating than trying to pull an elephant thorugh a nog by it's tail. I can't seem to find a good deal or work the wesbites very well. I search for long periods of time and on many many websites and still NADA! Help. I think I am losing hair over this.


So far the iteinterary (still negotiable) is leave either the 28 May or 29 May. Fly rom SLC to Charles de Gaulle (CDG). Get myself to Tours (somehow). Meet my family on Sunday, get situated and start school on Monday 31 May.


The program officially ends the 3 July. I will not be coming home at that time though. My mom had a dream last night that I was staying an extra 3 months...well that sounds like a grand idea don't you think? So from Tours I'll be spending some time in Paris or the surrounding vicinity. Then flying to the grand country of Denmark on the 6 July to visit with Claire! YAY!!!


From Denmark I guess I'll be coming home (grudgeingly). I will be home, hopefully, the 11 July. Only to complete my degree, then hop on the next plane back to Paris to become a fat butter-living Frenchman who eats eclairs for petit dejeuner, dejeuner, et le diner.
I am so excited I kind of am done with this semeseter. I just want to work a lot to get as much money as possible so I can fully enjoy my 6 weeks off of work.


Here I come Tours. Get ready for me to stomp on your soil. Eat your cheese. And steal your accent.
