Jenn's Excellent Adventure

I am going to try to keep a travel journal to share with my family and friends. Check out my pictures!

I know, I’m so sorry that it has been so long without a blog. Geez. And I’ve been busy.

Technical difficulties, I am sorry. First off, my computer hates me. And then France Telecom doesn’t really care for me either. So yeah. And then there is the laziness factor.

In the time since I last blogged, I’ve been to Ireland, The Netherlands and Belgium, Normandie, EuroDisney, Giverny, Nice, Monaco, Aix-en-Provence, been to some great shows, made new friends, discovered some awesome new music, and been all over Paris. All were so much fun. Go check out my pictures, they speak more about my trip than anything I can compose right now.

In the mean time, April was absolutely gorgeous here in Paris. I would dare say the word perfect comes to mind. And then it snapped. Boom. No kidding, the skies opened up one night, unleashed their fury in the form of massive amounts of water, thunder, and lightning, and au revoir beautiful weather.

It’s odd, most days are really pretty, with an hour to three of terrible weather. And horrible winds. Which means trains are retarded (which is hilarious to me to say, because the French word for late is retardé), and I have been running a little late some days. Not by my own fault, which is even worse.

School and work are going good. School is more of a joke, and work is fun.

My older (10/11 year olds) finished their big evaluations, which determine their placement into the middle school. They have scored awesomely, and I am so proud of them. They have worked really hard, and now it’s time for fun. So we’ve been watching Finding Nemo for the past couple of weeks. I am really going to miss the kids.

I start my finals next week, and will be all done with school on the 30th. Wow. Done. Scary.

I have a ton of traveling coming up, and I really apologize for not keeping a better blog. I’m going to try to get back into the habit of writing a little each day. Maybe.

The pictures are prettier anyways. Go look at them, www.flickr.com/photos/argylejenn.
