So, to pick up where I left off. The Strike really had no effect on me or most people at all. I will write about Strikes here later, there were a few amusing things about this one in the end, including my school being occupied by students from other universities.
On Friday I had class ALL day, as usual. So, skip to that evening, we went to a Spanish dinner where we had homemade Guspatcho (is that how you spell it), and Paella with Calamarie. It was alright, but I always find that Calamari has an odd odd texture.
On Saturday we went to Chartres to see its big Cathedral. It turned out to be a group trip out there with 6 of us going. It was really nice a cute town. In the evening we wanted to go to a Jazz club, but ended up listening to blues music at a random place on Rue Mouffetard which is a street lined with restaurants and bars in the Latin Quarter.
On Sunday we just had enough time to wake up, go to the Catacombs, walk through Jardin de Luxemburg and do a bit of shopping before Gloria had to leave to catch her flight. It was really nice having her, and my place here feels empty now. However, I will not be alone long since this upcoming weekend I will be going to Lyon again for the CRIT which is a large sports tournament between all the IEPs in France. And then soon after that I have spring break, and then my mom and Geoffrey and Brittany are coming!
My time in Paris is decreasing fast! But, I would not say that time is really flying super fast. The past week felt like a couple weeks. I am doing so much here that time seems really long in many ways. I just got my final exam schedule and I will be done courses as of the 23rd of June. This means that I will have 76 days of Summer break. I hope to stay in Europe until the 1st week of August (I need to now rebook my flight), and then come home and have about a month there. This should give me enough time to organize my stuff and go to Hornby for a bit before I start school there. Geoffrey and my Dad are also planning to come to Europe this summer so I may get to see them for a while. I hope that Geoffrey will travel with me for a week or so and we can visite a city together. My dad is going to Europe mid August, so I may be home before then and have a couple days to see him before he flies off. As everyone is planning their summers I feel less anxious to come home quickly since many of my friends will be away until the end of August as it is.

Crazy how they have so many strikes. I really thought more would happen besides just minor metro delays and closing a floor of the louvre + closing the tower of notre dame. Well at least school is still on for you and there's no catch up involved.
I had lots of fun with you and your friends were really nice. Glad we were able to catch the catacombs although it was a bit creepy. It turns out I took 656 pics and with yours it makes 988!!
p.s. it's stormy & cold here so it's better in Paris now :)
