Jamie311 - JLG
I am 21 years old and studying to become a special education teacher. While teaching, I would like to earn a Master's in library science and work with kids in junior high or high school making sure they do not plagiarize (just kidding)! I also am a vegetarian and I am concerned with the well being of animals especially cute animals. Also I cannot spell or type for the life of me so I do expect those "e bullies" to insult me. I am too lazy to use spellcheck most of the time as well. It's okay though. I basically made this page for myself, friends, and family. All the wonderful insulting comments will be published because I like the world seeing its true assholes who waste their time on lil' ol me. =D

i should have written yesterday but i didnt. the hostel is nice and gives a nice breakfast. they just need air conitioning or better air circulation. the workers here are nice though and the people here are too. just everyone i think more or less wants to do their own thing and dont really seem to want to meet other people. ate breakfast with a girl who was in my bunk. found out she lived in the area of london i liked. it sucks that she was switching hostels. i guess we could have made future plans but i dont think [View Full Entry]
we continued our d-day theme here in Normandy. saw Juno beach which is the Canadian one. its a huge beach community nowadays with many french and British vacationers. it reminds me of ventura a bit. very nice. had some weird dish which was the only vegetarian thing there aside from an omelet. i thought it was a vegetable plate and i guess it was. it had fries, boiled potatoes, tomatoes, pasta, and a tiny thing of a few pieces of lettuce. all sampler size. because it was a seaside town, almost everything on the menu was seafood which is understandable. we [View Full Entry]

today we spent a lot of time looking at d day stuff. we went to a couple of the beaches and a port that used to be used by the Germans. the bunkers were still there and everything and we were able to go inside. it was creepy going in there. i kinda expected there to be a swastika on the wall and low and behold, there was a giant one some kid must have made inside and someone else wrote a bunch of racist bullshit like "SS", "88", and some other neo nazi symbol with a cross inside a circle.

left paris today. i don't know if i said this earlier, but Paris started to grow on me the more i got used to it. i probably would never go back to Paris though because i pretty much saw everything i wanted to see. its pretty much just people watching and walking around here that's fun to me. the food is too of course. we got picked up by our driver for the next 3 days for Normandy. he is our driver tour guide there. he must think we are rich or something because it is a private tour. i think [View Full Entry]

today was a leisurely super hot day. heard it was 93 degrees. its so fricken hot even at nine am. we started the day off by taking a long bus ride to the piere lachoise cemetary where jim morrison, oscar wilde, and other famous people are buried. that cemetary is huge. you can easily spend all day in it and i wish we could have. i like being among the undead. we witnessed a priest spreading the ashes of someone. oscar wilde's tomb was kewl but sad. people put lipstick kisses all over it and on it was a depressing quote [View Full Entry]

woke up early today to hit the louvre. we took the bus and used our museum passes to use the ''secret" fast entrance near the cafe there while other people waited in line. we got there at about 8:30 and only had about five people in front of us. we ran like maniacs to see of course, the mona lisa. it was much smaller then i thought it was going to be. i kept going back and forth looking at it thinking "what am i not seeing?". we then went to see the venus de milo. impressive but so many other [View Full Entry]

i had a nice day today. we heard on sundays that many things were closed in paris but because sundays are busy days for jews, we went to the marais section of paris which is the jewish and gay area. we waited for a bus which rick steves says runs everyday. well a kind french lady went to us and said it doesnt run on sundays. she told us a bus that does go there so we headed over there. when the bus arrived, we said to the bus driver the name of the section we wanted to go to in [View Full Entry]

we all woke up late skipping the expensive non refundable versaille bike tour and paying a shitload of money buying a train package to take us there and grant us admission there. versaille is the palace of all palaces and not covered with paintings of jesus everywhere. i was impressed. my parents then got friendly with a couple they met that also grew up in queens in nyc. it was hot as hell today. my jeans started to stick to me and felt more like leggings. we ate a super late lunch that was expensive but still not as bad as [View Full Entry]
