Birthday Weekend
November 19, 2006
After everything that happened these past five days, I’d say overall I suppose the week was a success. I’ll give you a quick recap since it was quite eventful.
Wednesday we went to Musee d’Orsay which was really quite lovely. There are lots of things I recgonize there. After that was the France/Greece soccer game which France won 1-0, I believe. Thursday was the We Are Scientists concert in Paris that Matt got me guestlisted for. That was quite fun too even though I hadn’t listened to them THAT much before going.
Friday was the big 21st. Unfortunately, Leanna’s flight got cancelled and she wasn’t able to make it into Paris til Saturday afternoon. Harrison came in Friday night, so I still had fun with him and some of the girls in my group on my birthday night. Maizie was also in from Florence for the weekend so it was good to see her too! Saturday Leanna FINALLY got in and we all hung out in Paris for the evening. It was REALLY great to be with her and Harrison again after many many months.
Today was the end of the year Fete de Familles. It went okay. We had to give a presentation which ended with an embarassing rendition of Leaving on a Jet Plane. I’m not sure it went over that well with the families. Overall, I’d say the event was a success though.
This is my very last week in France! I cannot even believe it is true. I leave my family on Friday to stay the night in Paris with Cameron. Then Saturday it is off to London. I know this week is going to fly by too (like always.) I’m really excited to come home, but I am going to miss it here. Nothing I didn’t expect though…
