And I am doing just that. Sort of. No blossoming in Australia. Not enough sun for this flower. Now I am back in California and lovving the sunshine. (Read: Loving the inside of my office, loving my big bed, loving Kreuzberg cafe, loving watching the Kardashians just KNOWING that there is sunshine outside)
I have been so worried about getting back to California and taking advantage of California that I haven't really put my head into France.. yes, yes I will blossom there, but I need to get the plot and soil and seed ready!
After G decided not to go to France- which is heartbreaking but easy to understand- I decided to ask my Montpellier group if anyone wanted a travel buddy. And voila, insert Audrey, beautiful dame from Chicago, a few Skype dates later, and we're friends and planning fabulous trips around Europe. First trip..
Uh yeah. Can you see all those places we are going? Milano, Venezia, Budapest, Auschwitz, Prague, Munich, Zurich, Lucerne, Bern, Geneva, Lyon.. ahh. I really wanted to see Auschwitz, and look how perfectly that fits in. I am really excited to be diving into the places that aren't super typical Europe (i.e. Paris, London, etc) although I will definitely be doing that too. We only have about a week and a half to do it but it will happen. In the planning stages now, and Audrey is spearheading the whole thing which is AMAZING because usually that's my job. At this point I am totally okay with being delegated jobs like finding out traffic laws in different countries. My uncle was just telling me that in Italy if you pass a car, you have the right of way opposed to the cars in the oncoming lane. Whhaaaa? Can you imagine seeing a car coming toward you at like a zillion miles an hour and YOU have to pull over? So we really have to look into that. Hostels, parking, car rentals, etc. All gotta be handled. With plenty of time to pull over for some photog opportunities.
ANNDDD. The road trip isn't even the best part! (Okay well maybe it is) My mom and dad bought me and Audrey BRITNEY SPEARS TICKETS for her concert in Montpellier. Happpyyy biirrthdayy too mee! (Birthday is on Thursday. Twenty freaking two. Gross.) How lucky am I that Britney Spears would come to the town I am living in? She just knew, I know it.
Things I need to do before I go:
Find a place to live
Plan lessons
-purchase items for lessons
Brush up on my French
Figure out the transportation system
Pray that God will give me five thousand dollars so I can rent a car all year :D
Man, oh man those will be no small feats.
But for now I will blossom where I am planted, which is in CM's fabulous house, with some E! News and folding some KK letters. Life is gizzood.
