I'll be back in London in fewer than 24 hours. This past month, unlike the first one, has passed by really quickly. Wow.
Today I went back to many of my favorite places: I took the RER to St. Michel and walked around Rue de la Hauchette, and picked up a chicken, mayo, veggie baguette for "only" 3,60. Then I crossed to L'ile de la Cite and L'ile St.-Louis, to get to Rue de Rosiers, where the Jewish bakeries and falafel places are. Afterwards, back to the St. Paul area to look at bakeries one more time with Sarah (they're just so good), and then along the Seine until Notre Dame, inside (i find something new that I didn't see before every time I go in. It's just beautiful), back to Rue de la Hauchette for Nutella flavored gelato (that might be my new favorite ice cream flavor. I wonder if Herrells would make it . . .), and one more walk along the Seine, past Pont-Neuf, and back to Les Halles to catch the RER home. I got back 25 minutes before the bus, so I got to walk around the gardens by the castle here one more time, too. And it was sunny and warm today and just wonderful.
And now packing. What the hell did I do with my Oyster card?? |

EWWWW.
COCKROACH
IN. MY. ROOM.
SO. SCARY.
IN MY TRASHCAN.
NOT NEAR A WALL
HOW DID IT GET THERE??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
EWWWW.
We have always had spiders wandering around, but never ever ever cockroaches.
EWWWW.
What if there are more? How did it get all the way to the IN THE MIDDLE OF MY ROOM??!?!?
Also, I don't know what to do with it. No one braver than I am (or in general) is home right now.
I took the trashcan to the bathroom, stuffed a (mostly encased in plastic) pack of toilet paper rolls on top (to keep it in? I know, probs won't work and will make using said toilet paper perhaps no good. ok, so, dumb idea in retrospect) and closed the door. because it is WAY TOO GROSS AND SCARY.
WHAT TO DO??!!?!?! |

i actually really like watching the sun start to rise before i go to bed.
stayed up late just hanging out with friends. it was nice. i am not disappointed.
and there's something nice about the fact that it's already getting lighter. |
|
|
| give me a way to procrastinate over break? please |
[Mar. 17th, 2008|05:57 pm] |
this has been going around and i thought it might be a fun thing to do while i was home for a week.
Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read,political leanings, favorite type of underwear etc. Repost this challenge in your own blog if you want to! |

taking three ivrit grammar classes over break--one yesterday, one on tuesday, and one next sunday before i leave. am doing my homework now, and though i know what the answers often sound like, i can't spell them at all (which means, for the record, that i'm not actually learning the grammar--just using the fact that i know the words). i just tried to use "ayin, vav, alef, hey" to convey a sound that probs only needed one or maybe two of those letters. fuck.
don't think i'll post again before '08. i hope you all have a safe, fun/relaxing new year's eve, and a (sweet and) wonderful new year. ♥ |

| heading home in 5 or so hours. . . |
[Dec. 21st, 2007|05:51 am] |
i have been (still) awake at this time for 4 of the past 5 nights . . .
i'm not quite sure what i'm going to do with myself when i'm home and have nothing better to do at five in the morning than actually sleep.
but for now? i can. . . shower. or pack some more! or . . .
smithies: have a wonderful break-and-j-term! i can't wait to see you all again! a month is a long time. . . |

i'm really nervous about joel's final (which i think i'm going to take in 56 minutes after all, so that i can go to bed after), but at least i won't end up stuck in an oak tree like absalom. speared by joab. ha.
and finally managed to make the link to israeli radio work. YESSSS.
after this, one exam left.
i just hope that i know. . . the right names. |

and, on a different note, minus a quick break to call psafety about doors that sketchily wouldn't close, connie and i have been in the dining room for the past 3.5 hours listening first to the spice girls, then to the backstreet boys, and now to christina aguilera's first cd. hot stuff. i swear that this paper will be done within the next 45 minutes. regardless, the music is stellar. as is our rather unfortunate familiarity with so many of the words to so many of these songs. |
