Those Gypsies
So I think Jaymee pretty much covered everything except Saturday night; which she felt the need to leave for me to write.. thanks. Brussels was fun...I'm just glad I'm Not studying abroad there no offense. I would also like to give a shout out to Jaymee who has left me for the weekend to go to Prague. This is the first time we've been apart for a month. I'm pretty devastated/ bored. Be safe Jaymeers I hope you get Hazed!!!
ANYWAY.
Besides getting harrassed by the Asian lady at the Cluny Museum for accidently using the flash at the Lady and Unicorn Tapestry I have nothing to add to our intellectual adventures. As if one flash is going to do anything to a tapestry that was rolled up in somone s attic for hundreds of years. Get over yourself, I'm sorry you hate your job. At least I got my mom a good picture ha.
So Friday rolls along and Jaymee and I are ready to hit the club scene. Since Duplex, and 67 didn't work as explained in Jaymee's blog we decided Queen wasn't doing it for us so we left early. Jaymee's got her Night Buss map out again and we got lucky and caught the bus. Well our lucky streak canceled out when Jaymee said it was time to get off. Well our stop was Porte d'Italie not Place d'Italie. I really need to start speaking out...I just always assume I'm wrong so of course i mention it after we got off the bus and then we realized we had made a mistake. No worries we walked a nice 3 mile walk home at like 3 am. I was bragging about how I made it home in my heels while Jaymee walked through constructions barefoot. Trust me my feet felt it in the morning.
Saturday night
Thank god for pregames parties. I think I miss them the most out of everything. There was like 14 girls and we were having a blast, so of course it got late and we realized we didn't feel like paying 20 euros to get into a club so I suggest we go to Corchran's since we can dance there for free. I guess we switched like 3 metro stops and sang/danced the whole time. Well i'm glad we had a good time. Then we finally get to our destination when Jaymee grabs me and looks at me with a very serious look and says she needs to go home. I assured Jaymeers that she was in a great place and that we had finally arrived to the bar. Well lamo loser did not agree and made poor Megan take her home. Supposedly they met some serious creepers on the way home. Good thing I gave my pepper spray!
Allegedly Corchran's was a lot of fun. I mean who wouldn't dance to Lady Gaga? Then I got stalked by some rando who I proceeded to run away from throughout the night. Paige said we left the bar bc the guy was annoying me. We were walking down the road when I hear this group of people speaking Spanish. Apparently I stopped turned to everyone and said we should hang out with these people and run back to the group and just start talking to them in Spanish?? I mean I guess I'm on a mission to make friends. So it was getting late and I decided the best thing to do was just go home with Paige and sleep at her place.
This seemed like a great idea until the next morning when we woke up and realized she wasn't allowed to have anyone over in her homestay and her Madame was cleaning away. She lives on the 5 floor so there was no way of getting out. I chilled for like an hour until her Madame went upstairs and I sprinted barefoot for the door praying to god that she didn't come back downstairs. I make it to the metro and tried to go through until it makes the DENIAL noise and I realized it was March 1 and my Navigo Metro pass expires every first of the month. No problem I thought to myself I'll just use my credit card and recharge the 50 euros. I go in my clutch and realized my credit card and cash was GONE!!!! I was in shock. There was no way I got robbed because I didn't remember putting my purse down. But who knows. So i start getting nervous, meanwhile I'm looking stellar in my clothes, makeup, and hair from last night. Paige was nice enough to come to the metro and lend me 5 euro so i could get home. Meanwhile I'm scared to death to call my parents. They got a lovely phone call at 5:30 am US time. Of course the credit card place in the US doesn't open until 11 US time so there was nothing we could really do for couple more hours. I was devastated and later got the lecture from Marta about having my head in the clouds and not being with it. Sorry mom I'm sure it was the coat check. So 30 euros and a missing credit card later I still have my camera, Jaymeers, and being abroad to keep me happy. I've also apparently have some dance moves which include accidentally smacking innocent bystanders attempting to dance near me. Sorry I need a 10 foot radius around me. Maybe I should tone it down and save it for Madrid. I also can't wait for MARIO,SIOBHAN, ALLY, and STEPH to come visit me this Saturday! That should be a great post.
