Day 32
It's almost time to go home. ;_; I'm really, really glad that the exams are over (European Economics wasn't so bad after all! :D ), but I'm reallys sad to be leaving Lille (but happy to be going home).
But wait! I'm not going home right away! I have to figure out how to navigate Paris to find my hostel (with giant bags in tow), then rush to the Japan-Expo (which I'm still psyched about... I'm just not looking forward to having to find it...) It would be so much easier if I could but print off a map... D:
I've gotten almost everything packed up (minus my laptop, a few odds and ends, and the clothing I'll be wearing tomorrow). I actually accumulated quite a bit of trash in my room over the month! You know, random papers I don't really need, the wrappers for various things... I even rediscovered things that I had bought but then had forgotten about. It as all very exciting. :3 My two bags are nearly full. (Yes, two, because I bought a second, smaller suitcase for 20€ at the market at Wazzemmes.) I hope that whatever I buy in Paris won't take up much space... or be too heavy...
I'm also looking forward to having dinner with Maialen, the French (Parisian, to be exact) chick that I met here in Lille who will soon be attending the U of A. :3 We're going to have dinner in Paris on Friday together. That shall be exciting! I hope that I don't get too lost on the way there or back...
Once again, last night, I was asked for directions by an actual French person! :D I really am blending in... and of course, now I have to go home. D:
Anyway, I'm not sure if my hostel has internet access or not, so I may not upload any pictures or post any updates until after I get back. Oh, and speaking of pictures... I won in two categories for the Summer Program photo contest! :D One of them is here, on Deviantart: http://beboots.deviantart.com/art/Postcard-Worthy-Shot-89849628 The other one has been uploaded on facebook, but I'll eventually get around to putting it on DA... I won a book of photographs of the Nord-Pas-De-Calais, by the way. :3
Okay, so as I was saying, I'm not sure when I shall next post, so I shall leave you with this belgian hot chocolate recipe! :D Enjoy!
