My cold still isn't getting any better and I've had quite about enough of that one, so I ate a clove of garlic this evening. All I have to say is, French garlic is quite a bit stronger than anything I'm used to at home, I don't think I will be trying that remedy again any time soon :/ (for those who don't know, if you have a sore throat or possibly just a cold in general, eating raw garlic is a miracle-worker....if you can survive it. Usually I can push through the few seconds it takes to chew it up and swallow, but this was just waayyyy too intense for me!) Anyway, now I reek of garlic, my room reeks of garlic, I'm so glad I don't have classes tomorrow because I would STILL reek of garlic. But hopefully this will finally get rid of this stupid cold.
I'm such a baby when I'm sick, mostly because I will eat it right up if someone starts to take care of me haha. I also have a rule, that the worse I feel the higher my heels have to be. So I dressed to the nines when we went out last Saturday night (probably not a super great idea, but I had so much fun it was worth it...) and have been extremely put together for all of my classes this week. I've sort of enjoyed it, actually...I've been wearing a lot of pencil skirts and blouses, cute heeled booties and patterned tights. I've yet to break out my fur collar, but that's for the days I feel REALLY miserable. There are a lot more Americans in my class this semester so I don't feel like such an Amazon woman as I usually do next to all the fatally cute and tiny Chinese girls (so. jealous.) which has been nice. I've met up with Lin Meng and Xiao a few times (really good friends from last semester, who also define fatally cute), once for lunch where we gossiped about classmates and fangirled over Lady Gaga, and again today as they were on their way to the library, and Lin Meng told me I was "très très belle" I could have kissed her, that darling darling girl >w< I have secret fantasies of kidnapping them both and taking them home with me at the end of the semester, and we can have picnics in Vermont and speak nothing but French XD
With this influx of American students this semester, I've sort of come to the conclusion that we as a nationality sort of drive me crazy. Is it going to be like this when I come back, that I'm going to want to strangle the average 20-year-old person? There's this one girl in my class who can't wrap her head around the fact that our teachers here don't speak English, and keeps throwing out random English words as examples. Seriously, no one but four people can understand you, don't be a prat. Then again, she's from California, which explains so much....
*sigh* I really miss my class from last semester. I absolutely adore Lin Meng and Xiao, and everyone else I was just sososo fond of, even Wei who consistently cheated off my tests and Tian Lu who was a complete know-it-all but was still fun to talk to XD Or Siyuan who would tease me for being a spaz in class hahaha It's sort of sad that already I'm forgetting some of their names, I caught whoeveritwas today in the hall and had a long conversation with him, but couldn't for the life of me remember his name....
This morning when I woke up we had like a good 6-8 inches of snow!!! It was so random! The trams shut down and class was canceled, and there's still a good amount of it left. I tried to convince people to go sledding but I don't think they were having any of it haha. Cat and I were going to go to Carrefour but we were afraid we'd end up stuck without a tram and have to carry all our groceries back...and we were planning on going to the far one, too, since I wanted to go to Sephora to get nail polish (sparkly black because I had a dream about it), lip liner (because I need to learn how to use it) and to try on perfume. I want to buy a perfume to use a lot when I'm here, so then years down the road I'll put it on and it will remind me of France (oops...I better get on that!! hahaha). So far I've smelled countless perfumes from the bottle, and actually tested on my skin and discarded Chloe (Chloe, duh haha), Flowerbomb (Viktor & Rolf), Premier Jour (Nina Ricci), and something by Marc Jacobs, I think? It had a really ugly bottle but smelled good for a little bit. And I keep trying and trying Chanel No. 5 because it's supposed to be so classic, but in the end it just smells horrendous on me. I'm just so particular when it comes to these things....
