Last Days

Thursday: After my final in the morning, I went back home. Chris came over around 4 and Aris came over shortly after to bake cookies for Chris' class. It was some type of dark chocolate cookie with apricot jam and chocolate on the inside. Well before we started they both put on my lipstick.

I was supposed to go to dinner with Katie and her dad in Montmartre but I was too tired, I had crashed from my sleep schedule of all nighters and too many exams. I missed Aris' dinner at his house as well and didn't end up going out.

Friday: Carla and I went to Rose Bakery for the last time. I had a tofu curry over rice and a mocha soya.

Afterwards we went to school to get our deposits back, then we met up with Nassim and Priya after shopping a bit on Passy, and we walked over to the Eiffel Tower across the Inception bridge.

Nassim and I waited for an hour, but because of the heavy snow, the top was shut down and the elevator only went up to the 2nd story, which we thought wasn't worth it.

Nassim went home to get a sweater and I met up with Priya and Carla at Carla's apartment. Carla's apartment had a secret door through the stairwell. After hanging out for a little bit, we met up with Nassim again and headed to Bastille to Chez Janou for southern french food.

It was the best french food I've had. I had the swordfish over rice pilaf and vegetables, and shared some of Carla's minced cod mashed potatoes. We all ordered Aperitifs and toasted to Paris.

Afterwards, Katie came and met us after dinner with her dad, and we all split desserts. I ordered a Creme Brulee, Nassim ordered a citrus meringue cake, and Katie ordered a berry crumble.

I was in a terrible mood, so I decided to go home. We bid farewell on the metro- I passed my metro card onto Carla.

The next morning I woke up at 8 and finished packing, and took a cab with Aurelle. Luckily our elevators were working. Worst airport experience of my life, however. It took ridiculously long and most of us almost missed our flight which ended up being delayed by 2 hours because the aircraft needed to be defrosted.
