My goodness, today was a long one! Austin and I ran at our favorite park early this morning and then I went to French class this morning. After class, Alayna and I went to the Midi station and picked up train tickets for Paris and then it was back to Vesalius for History class, a meeting with Dr. Pierce about our internship requirements, and then a lecture about Bruges and Ghent. I did not leave school until 9! Who ever said anything about a Belgian Vacay because I am working like a dog...
We have our first weekend trip to Bruges and Ghent. Bruges is a charming little town with a lot of history and treasures to discover. I hear that they even offer bike tours of the city which is something I might take advantage of this weekend! It will be nice to escape city life for a couple days and retreat to the countryside.
Following our long day of class and lecture, a group of us went to Alayna and Austin's to finish off the chili remaining from Man Night. It was delicious and really a lot of fun to have a different group to dine with! Oh, one creepy thing happened today. I almost forgot to mention this: a group of us were walking the streets near my metro stop to go to Alayna and Austin's for dinner and for some reason the locals like to pull their cars onto the curb, park, and sit. I cannot explain this bizarre behavior, but tonight while we were walking home a guy poked his head out the car and yelled "HEY!" at me as I walked with a group of people. Naturally, I screamed. It was so ridiculous. Who does that?!
Sadly, there is not much else to report. No doubt that there will be a long post on Sunday evening after a weekend of travels, especially if you keep in mind our history with transportation in Europe (plane delays, missed flights, losing a passenger to security in the UK, separating on trams, getting ripped off by a ticket salesman, just to mention several joys of transportation...).
Only 12 days until you turn 24, Gary! The countdown is on my friend...

Freshman year of college, I was walking to class at 8 am with Gray, and I had a skirt on...and a homeless guy rode by on his bike and started ringing the bell on his bike at me...true story. They are everywhere, sister.
