that one time we watched angus, thongs, and perfect snogging.

our lady's [host mom] internet sucks.

the other night, it just self-destructed [like my cord] and she's basically saying she's going to cancel the service. oh, but don't worry, she showed us where the nearby mcdonald's was so we can still get our internet/over-priced soft drink fix. because mcdonald's is where class resides in this wonderful city of paris [i. am. kidding.]. yeah, if you can't tell, i am less than happy about the situation. bottom line: i hate technology. i really wish that we were all built with our own personal routers/electronic chargers that were flawless. when i make my own world, you bet your bottom dollar that'll be a priority for moi.

anyways, i'm going to do my best to blog as much as possible in the next day or two to catch up. let's see how this goes [facebook/blog stalking, degage<--basically french for "get the hello away from me".].

so last last saturday, it was our study abroad "fete du automne" that our friend bynn put on for everybody. it was absolutely delightful! we were all invited to dress up in our fancies [and by that, i mean tea party dresses, pearls, hats, the whole shebang] and come for some appetizers, chocolat chaud, and a movie. everyone was way excited because we don't all get to get together as much with school and everyone's weekend plans all being different. plus, we all wanted an excuse to dress up, duh.

 [shelbey in the kitchen. i loved helping assemble the food!]

 [i found youuuu, miss new booty.]

 [tiff's surprise birthday cake.]

 [me and annie. yes, i know her eyes are closing, but i look good. well, good enough.]

 [i don't have any words for this one.]

 [shout-out to the lovely brynn for coming up with the party!]

 [my favorite ever vegetable soup, bread, chicken on skewers, and raspberries with whipp-ed<--as my host mom would say it, cream]

[this might look like hot chocolate, but actually, it's a huge spoonful of salted caramel, a piece of brownies, some fresh raspberry syrup, a squirt from the bottom of the barrel of the hot chocolate so it was extra chocolate-y, and whipp-ed cream. you better believe it was the best dang thing ever. EVER. and totally worth the sugar coma i went in right after i kinda finished the whole thing.]

after the food, we watched "angus, thongs, and perfect snogging". i am buying this movie when i return home! so funny, and so fun to watch with everyone. riley basically has it inscribed in her dna and has been raving about it the whole trip, so when her mom sent it to her [no joke], we HAD to watch it. basically, it made me very boy hungry. yup yup yup, i'm saying that out loud. maybe it's because i feel like i'm going to an all girls school? seriously though boys, when i get back, watch out ;] totally joking daddy.

the party was so much fun, and i can't wait until the next one :]
