Quatorze Juillet

Bonjour,

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend, especially those who participated in the celebration of the French National Day: 14th July! As for me, I had a super fun, unexpected outing with my sister and her friends. Sometimes, things don't go according to plan for good reasons. 

Here are a couple tidbits of my eventful Saturday. Made new friends, laughed a lot and life is good even though the wet and cold weather is creeping in again (15°C in July?!). 

View from Alexandre III bridge. Rainbow after the rain.

Uniforms.

Waiting, two hours before the fireworks at 11pm. So glad it didn't rain.

Show time!!!

Disco fever

This year's theme was Disco with a good selection of songs to accompany the fireworks. Sadly the music mixing wasn't very smooth and upbeat enough. The crowd around us was quite calm which made my sister and I look pretty ridiculous screaming while shaking to It's raining men, Can't take my eyes off of you, Survive... Loveee the La vie en rose part but wish it had more french songs though. Ah well,  I still enjoyed it very much, so glad I went out! 

That's it for now, until next time mes amis ;) Bonne semaine! 

It's been a while...

Spent the whole afternoon skyping with my best friend and it felt incredibly good. It's been quite a long time since we last talked, especially with her senior year stressful workload and the time difference but I'm so glad we finally made time to really catch up. Can't believe I've known her for 9 years, that's almost a decade, haha I sound so old! We don't hang out regularly, not as much as we would love to, but each time we get to meet up, we can just talk and talk for hours, from boys, food, movies to politics and life philosophy, no awkward pause, no weirdness. She's always so inspiring and radiates a sense of comfort which put people at ease. Particularly in this time when I feel so out of place and lack of energy, it's nice to have someone to confide in, who encourages and reminds me of my abilities. I'm so grateful we're still super close despite the distance, it seems like I've never left :D
