Au Revoir Paris!

I know what you're thinking... how on earth does she have time to blog when they're leaving tomorrow? Answer: I don't, I'm procrastinating, of course. I'm fighting every primal urge I have to bake something because that's what I usually do when I'm stressed and don't have time for such things. I figured writing a blog post would be quicker and have less clean up at the end. I'm getting ready this morning to go to my last day of Boot Camp in the Champs de Mars and I can't complain because we have had stellar weather all year but (could you see a big but coming) it's raining today. Who knows, maybe that will make it easier to leave. And for just a little extra mazel for us, after the Eiffel Tower debacle we thought we could take the girls to the Tour Montparnasse which has a great view of Paris, mainly because you can't see the Tour Montparnasse. So we bought tickets on line. Smart , right? Well, it's been raining ever since. And it hasn't rained in months, mind you. I don't think there are going to be any more grand views of Paris from way up high... on this trip. Obviously, we have some unfinished business here and we'll have to come back. We have spent the last week or so saying our goodbyes and I just wanted to share a few photos of the girls with their friends that they made during our year in Paris.

Almost done...

Hi!

It's been so long since I last wrote, so I decided to post a little something about my last days in Paris. So, the day I got out of school, I was bursting with joy(and the two cakes I made for my class), but, sadly being dragged down by my million school books. I decided to make a list of things I should do in my last days(not forever, of course):

Go to the top of the Eiffel Tower(fail, we were going to, but the line was about a 2 hour wait, and I thought,'What's so special about going to the top of some building? It's better to go up to Tour Montparnasse and SEE it,' thus, the epic fail)

Go up Tour Montparnasse

Walk through parks, have picnics, etc.

Eat pastries and FRENCH FOOD!

That was all I had on my list, so I hope we can get that all done. Not much else is going on, my books are all packed up, so that leaves me with about 6 books(possibly 7, if mom takes me to the bookstore) to last me at least 5 days, and a whole plane ride! Other news... I'm a finalist in the YAFf (Young Authors Fiction Festival) contest, there were 88 entrees in my grade, 5 get honorable mentions, and 5 are nominated as finalists! Other than that, I have nothing to say, except wow, I can't believe this blog is almost over. Please comment! It makes me feel like people are reading, and I hope people are... Until next time(which may or may not be on the blog)! ;)
