Getting Sick, July 24th

So today I had a smidgen of a sore throat upon waking up so I took a bit of Advil cold and sinus and headed to class. I also grabbed a liter of water to drink. At our meeting with Amanda I mentioned having a bit of sore throat and she recommended maybe telling them my issues at the pharmacy and they could help. So we met with Amanda who said the film was looking good and suggested adding a numerical element to our analysis which we struggled to come up with. Unfortunately my night took a turn for the worse when after working with Hannah and Katie I became extremely ill. I had a sore throat and stuffy nose so bad when I'd try to breathe in it was like I didn't have a nose at all-which was terrifying. Rather than regular cold body aches I had sharp, acute pains that were in my lower back on the left side. They were what I imagine contractions would feel like, they were so painful I was stuck waddling and when I'd get up I'd gasp in pain. I also had a fever, and at one point I felt nauseous and ran down to the toilet, but I was so dizzy as I went over there I feared I'd black out so I didn't lock the door. I ended up  throwing up but it was all fluid as I've had no appetite and hadn't eaten. I've felt so terrible and so in pain but I actually slept more easily than I would've anticipated. All in all a terrible night.

Chipotle Margaritas, July 23rd

Today Caroline and I stayed in bed just about all day. We were finally pried from our beds by Tori when we decided to go see the end of the Tour de France and get dinner. We opted to eat at Chipotle funny enough and I do like eating at American chains and then being able to compare the food! I got a chicken burrito and the biggest discrepancy would be that it's much smaller, other than that it did taste a lot fresher. I also got a margarita because they sell them there and was carded which is quite funny. Then we headed to the Champs Elysée where we jumped the line and headed in and caught the very tail end then just wandered around for fun. Overall, it was a pretty chill day with not too much going on.

If you escaped what I escaped... July 12th

It. Happened. Doug. Luckie. Is. Gone. Today it happened, quietly without much fanfare Doug Luckie fluttered off into the Paris sunset to go home and drive his smart car to wherever the hell Doug Luckie goes. Amanda is now in charge of us and I think I heard bells when it happened. We have had a third day of crisis as the boulangerie is STILL out of Pain aux Raisins, I'm thinking about calling the fire department. Today class was uneventful with the exception of successfully inviting Nick Viall & Co. to come to Fleurs with us for karaoke and celebration of escaping the wrath I've endured. I had quite a bit of homework that had piled up for me to go through so I had a trusty sandwich at maison and got to it...however, in the midst of trying to read about Pasteur I fell asleep approximately 3 times? I would be laying in bed reading and just drop the book on the floor and fall asleep. Did you know, Caroline's journal is almost exclusively her complaining then discussing ho...

Counterfeit Bills and Burlesque Girls July 15th

So today started on the right note given that I slept until like 11am! With that out of the way Caroline and I opted to go to the boulangerie and Franprix, we ate lunch in the park and had some ham and cheese sandwiches from the boulangerie. They had sundries tomatoes that I was skeptical of but turned out to be very tasty. I also had some little cheesy crackers from Franprix that were buttery and delicious-not cheesy as promised but the copious butter made me forgive them. 9/10 for being buttery. The sandwich gets a solid 7/10 for being a little more than I bargained for but still coming through. However, I do appreciate the simple things in life like sandwich that is cheese, ham, and a good thick layer of butter. After this adventure we did some homework before heading to the shops surrounding Chatelet. We went to the Zara outside Châtelet where I got a gorgeous bag, a cute top, and most importantly broke my 500 euro note!!!!! Finally! So Caroline and I purchased our stuff together i...
