ENFIN I'M BACK
and it's about damn time.
wow. 5 weeks went by so fucking fast, even though i was fucking miserable for about half the time. strange. anywho, i have very mixed feelings about the trip as a whole. i'm almost billingual now, which is awesome, and i love french and france and the whole french culture more than i ever have before, and i have 5 amazing people in france i miss and am definitely going to see again. the last 4 days in paris were quite an adventure; even though i don't particularly like the 2 girls i shared a room with, they were hilarious and liked me quite a lot, so we had some great drunken times partying it up in our room, which became the designated party room. in the lot the previous week, i had over half a handle of vodka and there was a terrifying lightning and thunder storm, and the power went out in the hotel, so of course we took off our shirts and pants and went streaking out in the rain, stopping only to puke. i made a homeless friend and was very lucky not to have been raped. lots of stuff happened, and i woke up around 6 am outside in the pouring rain with this other dude from the trip. then we went inside, i puked a few more times, and then pretty much a few times an hour for the next day or so. maybe i shouldn't drink so much anymore. but it was an adventure, to say the least.
anywho, when i get my photos developped, i'll try to finagle them onto livejournal, because if my memory serves me, there are a few that are quite hilarious. give me a call or something if you want to hang out; i'll be around all of august, and i have alcohol, and i miss you all more than anything. being stuck with 16 people i hate 24/7 for 5 weeks really makes you love your real friends more than anything.
i feel mad different from when i left. but in a good way, i think..
