Here are 7 random things about me for you to read if you feel so inclined...
1. I don't like being scared. I don't like rollercoasters or scary movies. I couldn't even handle "The Others," so watching "When a Stranger Calls" last year in the David John basement with some girlfriends was a big mistake, especially after all my babysitting experience. Never again. I just had a nightmare the other night after briefly talking about Edgar Allan Poe with my roommate.
2. I really enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done.
3. I love looking nice, but sometimes it's not worth the effort.
4. I think TV in general is a waste of time unless it's Monk. :) Or you're multitasking (see #7).
5. I'm obsessive about saving everything, thinking that I'll want or need it later, no matter what it is. I've gotten better over the years, but I used to be a total pack rat.
6. I love getting mail! Even if it's not important, if it has my name on it, it's exciting!
7. I love multitasking. I feel like I can justify a little fun TV-watching if I'm keeping my hands busy with knitting or something else. (I miss my knitting!)
Since this is a special Europe edition, I'll give you 2 bonus top 7 lists!
Things I miss most about home (besides family and friends, of course):
1. rill Mexican mills
2. Blue Bell ice cream
3. Monk
4. my books
5. my clothes (I brought hardly any)
6. my iPod (can't complain though, I have iTunes)
7. White family lingo
Things I like most about being here:
1. Rocky isn't
2. my host family
3. Dr. Welch's Book of Mormon class...amazing!
4. the history!
5. the free time (I only have 7 scheduled class meetings per week)
6. no testing center!
7. the food...mmmm
On an unrelated note, I haven't been doing a good job taking pictures since our trip last week...sorry. It was a good weekend, though. Our host mom gave us a tour of the town, including a national archaeology museum and a cool market. We did one of the "walks" for class--went to Notre Dame, climbed to the top, visited the crypt underneath the square, and the famous Conciergerie prison...and got in all those places for free! Also discovered a beautiful park yesterday where we watched swans and did homework. Happy one month, Olivia!

i know why we are such good friends. :) everything on that top 7 list i was like...oh my heck, me too. except the TV one. i could probably be just fine watching TV for hours (as long as its disney channel like hannah montana or full house!)
I totally cracked up when you said that one of the your favorite things about being in France is that "Rocky isn't!" That poor dog, nobody loves him. Okay, Dad loves him.
Olivia says thank you Aunt Summer! She can't wait to meet you.
yay for Monk, Mexican food, and Blue Bell...I hope I get back in time on Friday to watch part 1 of the season finale! Thanks for making me a Monk addict. :)
I'm with you on Monk, of course!, and being scared. Why people like roller coasters and horror movies is totally beyond me. And I'm with you on looking nice, multitasking, TV as a waste of time...wow, we must be sisters!
A word on Monk: Sadly this season has been somewhat lacking. Hopefully the 2-part finale will be good. Psych, though, has been getting better and better (I never used to watch it, the promos were so obnoxious, but I've watched the last three and have been highly entertained).
