I Leave for the Airport in less than 48 hours... WHAT?!

Bonjour à tous ! Je suis content que vous continuez de lire mon blog. Pour éviter plus de fautes qui sont nécessaires dans la vie, j'ai beaucoup d'écrire en anglais.

The last few days (which seem like months) have gone by rather fast and it's all been quite hectic as my semester comes to an end. Here's a rather short summary to round off my month of April.

Tuesday, 28 April
*Dinner with Trevor and Marie-Léone, Paul and France at an Italian restaurant in Neuilly (it's right on the border of Paris and is in many respects a bit more upper-class-looking)

Wednesday, 29 April
*Jane and I tried to go see Le Roi Lion for the second time this semester, but the woman at the ticket counter couldn't sell us any under-26 tickets. So, we instead went exploring and made our way to Galleries Lafayette; after quickly noticing a green display, finding a pair of green jeans became my number one priority. We never found it, but saw the sticker price next to the manequin: 190€. Needless to say, we were successful in not buying anything. We continued walking and after making what surprisingly became a huge circle, we happened to come across a movie theatre. Due to the odd time that we thought of seeing a movie (about 10 minutes into the film, but over 1,5 hours until the next showing), we made our way to the Champs-Elysée and after much debating, bought tickets. Upon waiting for the showing, we stopped in at Glup's, briefly at Celio, and then had an unbalanced meal at Quick's. Afterwards, we went to the movie theatre and saw 17 Again. It was rather hilarious and the dialogue was masterfully awkward, though it did take a while for it to gain some momentum.

Thursday, 30 April
After work, I rushed home to babysit Elisabeth and Stanislas and, after that, rushed even quicker to join Trevor, Sam and Jill by the Bir Hakeim bridge for a dinner cruis along the Seine. It was a beautiful night and the three of them were really great company. We had a five-part entrée, Jill and I (definitely the power team against Trevor and Sam :-P) got veal for our plat, while the other two got a seafood dish which included gilt head (someone tell me what that is, please), and then a three-part dessert. La vie est belle à Paris !

Trevor and I walked back home after dinner and at 2.30 in the morning, I decided to join him in picking up his family at the airport...scheduled to arrive at 7.48. And with that, let's continue on with the month of May.
