I finished my vest! sorry I can't figure out how to rotate pictures in here. I feel like this week was rather uneventful. I can't believe that on friday I will have been here a month already. wow. 25% done with the semester? More, because I only have to go to school 8 times in april? I got everything settled for John's and my spring break. I think it is going to be really great. I can't believe it is only a month really until he is here! Today it was really gorgeous so Tatiana, Zoe, Beatriz and I went to do our homework in the sunshine on the steps of Sacre Couer. It was beautiful, I love it over there. It is in that neighborhood that I bought my buttons. They had a ridiculous selection like walls and walls of them. Then I bought a yard of satin-y materiel for a euro. I am going to try to line the dress that I am wearing in this picture. I bought it here, it has been my most expensive purchase so far but it is super see through. I could always wear it with tights I guess. SPeaking of tights, my box with my glasses in it got stuck at customs. I talked to my host sister about it and sent them an email so hopefully I hear back soon because I would really like everything that is in it. We went out this weekend to the birthday  party of a boy in Tatianas class, and then with PIerre and Gabrial again. They wanted to go to a discotech again but it was going to be very pricey and we just said no, and made them come to this like chill restaurant with us. That is where Gabriel told me I have a very strong american accent :(. I casted on and have been working on a new scarf with the yarn that John's grandma gave me, it is really hard to work with though and I have started over 3 times already. I would buy some more and start something else but I cannot find any other yarn like at all. I am not in love with this pattern, but at the knitting club there are like hundreds of books so maybe I will get some ideas. I went for a run today and stumbled on a market where I bought a lot of fruit to have for lunch. They had dresses that were really similar to mine, but not as nice :). They had yarn too, all from America though and the like walmart brands that are very generic. I want to go to the bonmarche this week, or one of the monoprix's that carries it too. I am starting to think about what I am going to bring home for people. I can't believe I have been here for a month without traveling anywhere else. Although I am trying to get people to go to london the weekend after next but so far no- go. I guess spring break will take care of a lot of that bug, and amine is coming next week...this week? I'm not sure, with his new girlfriend to talk about when I can stay with him in Montpelier. I'm really bummer about how its looking like I'm not going to make it to spain though because my little is traveling like literally every weekend. Maybe I am just going to have to go by myself and for like the first half of the week. Then if we can hang out cool, and if not, fine. I feel like my french has not gotten much better lately, like I was still struggling at dinner a lot tonight, but there were like 10 people here and I was really tired. I hate sundays here, I am always tired all day and theres nothing to do because nothing is open! I've decided (after my incident where I shaved my fingernail off) to try to stop biting my nails, because I hate everything about it. I was realizing this week that I have only talked to erika like twice since I have been here, and eva sporadically. We have always been that kind of friends that like sometimes we do our own thing and arent always in touch. It just didn't occur to me how I had been missing that because I have been able to talk to my family and John so much. Anyway, it has been 54 minutes at least since I finished watching the last episode of the L-word online so I should be allowed again. Goodnight!
