Day 28

K I had so much to do last night that I didnt post, so here is a quick summary of Day 28 with a few pics.

Okay first things first...laundry. I actually love the laundromat! I went by myself yesterday and it is a place where I can get stuff done. All I can do is sit there and wait for my clothes to get clean, so I get my homework done. I read my Art History reading and actually found it quite interesting. It is a subject that I know almost nothing about so it feels like something new and is not boring yet.

Next we had devotional at 13h. We took the bus into the city. Nothing to say on devotional. I slightly think it is a waste of time, especially since its the only scheduled thing of the whole day. We found out on Monday night that our trip this weekend was canceled so we decided are going to go somewhere else.

A group of eight of us finally decided that we are going to Southern France. We are going to Nice for two nights with a day trip to Monaco and one night in Marseille. Thats why I was so busy last night. I had to figure out how to get there, how to get around what we are there, what there actually is to see in those three places, and where we were going to say. It is really me and one other girl (Emily) who planned it for everyone. No one seems to be able to take initiative and find anything out for themselves.

I think it is funny because Emily is the only girl older than me and as the oldest girls, we view traveling a lot differently from everyone else. Since we had to make a last minute decision most of the girls were in a panic. One even decided that she couldn't do it so last minute. Half of the girls said they wanted to talk to their moms first. I was slightly laughing at them. I'm not a spontaneous type of person, but if we have the chance to go anywhere-I'm going to take it.

On our way home I had one of those lovely experiences in the metro. It was crowded and everyone was really close. I was standing somewhere in the middle. Then someone was standing behind me. I didnt think much of it at first, but then he decided he wanted to be closer (and yes, I could tell it was a he). Totally creepy! What kind of guy finds pleasure in that? I moved and Ally, me and a nice old lady on the metro had a good chuckle about it. Creeper!

We had dinner with the family and then the work began. I started to figure out how this trip was going to work, and I must say I did well. I found out all the big places that we should see in all three cities we are going to. I got addresses, bus lines, metro lines, maps, and lots more. I made an itinerary for the trip in an order that seems to make the most sense location wise. (Side note: I LOVE GoogleMaps)

So I was up until two and then after I studied my scriptures, said my prayers and turned out the light, I realized I hadn't done my blog. By that point...I didnt really care.

The creperie that we had afternoon snack at. I had an apple and maple syrup. It was good, but nothing like just a plain nutella one. I don't think you can beat that.
