Vivisadness July 9th

So today was amongst my most uneventful days as a highlight was me falling asleep not once but twice while reading a book. I also didn't wear pants the majority of the day...that's the real highlight here. So today started as all good days do with me waking up and watching makeup tutorials when I could've gotten homework done...#goalz. Then I got ready in a short amount of time to head to the bakery where I got yet another wonderful Pain aux raisin but also decided to sample something a bit more interesting in the same concoction I had last week but with Camembert rather than ham. Unfortunately, this was also a miss. The smell of the cheese was just very off-putting and furthermore  it had a lot of rind in it that made the texture of the bread and treat as a whole very lackluster. Thankfully, I saved my favorite for last in case a tragedy like this one took place. 3/10 for disappointing Camembert but points for carbs. 10/10 for pain aux raisins coming through like always! Then I returned back to my little cave and did homework for the overwhelming majority of the day. Tori and I made a quick run to the mall but honestly, it was dampened by our stressed moods regarding all the schoolwork. We returned quickly to work on more and dinner was a lackluster nub of baguette I hadn't gnawed on during the day and some goat cheese that's taste was a bit pungent for me. I think I might move back to Gruyeres moving forward with my cheese adventures at the Franprix.

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...
