I really feel bad about never finishing this, so I'll do it now instead of taking a nap.
Je me suis reveillée a 7h40
Le petit dejuner: buffet
Le matin: Chamonix- cable car up to a history/rock/animal museum, bought a pin, took pictures. Walked w/ tour guide, who thinks I'm pretty smart, since I knew of all the authors and poets who left quotes behind, and could translate them.
Le dejeuner: Ice cream- one scoop coconut, 1 chocolat banane. (late)
L'apres-midi: Aiguidde a midi; 2 gondolas and an elevator to huge mountain peak. Saw climbers, Asians, no goats. So amazing, even though the whiney drama queens decided to freak out, excluding Jackie, who actually fainted.
Le diner: Chef Salad, Polenta/sausage/zucchini, apple tarte. Note: Learn how to make tartes. This was a really great dinner!
Le soir: Wandered around with Mrs. Fetter and Summer in town, looked for crepes, discussed country boys vs. city boys. (Country boys unanimously win.)
L'hotel: Found my key, yay. Hung out with people, gossiped w/ Izzo.
Je me suis couchée a 11:30.
Je me suis reveillée a 7h00
Le petit dejuner: la meme
Le matin: Bus through Alps to Switzerland. Visited Chateau de Chillon w/ dungeons, torture devices, latrines, and of course, romantic poetry. Probably the best chateau.
Le dejeuner: rien
L'apres-midi: Shopping in Montreaux, started feeling sick. Found a top for Gab at Charlotte Russe-type store. Took pictures of Freddy Mercury dedication.
Le diner: Salad, Lasagne, Chocolate mousse.
Le soir: Looked for Cuckoo Clocks w/ teachers, found a shirt for dad @ Dept store.
L'hotel: Desperate Housewives en Francais. (Didn't feel too well.)
Je me suis couchée a 10:30. Sleepy...
Je me suis reveillée a 6h30
Le petit dejuner: Buffet- with nothing on it. Great.
Le matin: Took "chocolate train" to Gruyere Cheese Factory. Woohoo. Sat across from Jarvis from China. He got an excellent demonstration of obnoxious American girls.
Le dejeuner: Un orange avec Jarvis et les vaches.
L'apres-midi: chocolate factory, free samples! Spent around $20 American; not bad.
Le diner: Cheese fondue, cured meats, the best fruit salad I've ever had in my life.
Le soir: Promenade avec the Obringers after an unsuccessful search for the festival de la musique. Switzerland est barbant.
L'hotel: Packing.
Je me suis couchée a 12:45.
Je me suis reveillée a 6h10
Le petit dejuner: Croissant, OJ, cheese
Le matin: Bus to Geneva, short flight from Geneva to Paris.
Le dejeuner: My first croque-monsieur!
Le vol de paris: #024, sat between Georgina and Mme Stewart. Watched half of King Kong, Firewall, and some queen latifah movie. Got HOME!
Ah, finally done. Ok. Now I can write about more recent things.
I'm sorry you're all having such an aweful time with getting used to college.. I personally am anxious for classes to start so I can meet people I have stuff in common with. I'm starting to meet people from my floor, but really, I've just been mooching on Conley and Helena's friends! My roomate is sort of shy, but we're getting along. I'm on the 15th floor of towers, which is actually not too bad. I just hope the elevators never break.
