I know it's been awhile

I know it has been quite some time since I've written about my french travels and the films that I've been studying, but I was quickly swept away by the splender of Paris. I really think that my impressions have changed and I am still working on trying to get along better with a different culture... which will be 100 percent helpful when I am in Prague for a full year.
As my Paris travels come to a close I will say that, I truely am going to miss this city. Here I've been able to really expore myself, and ask myself "WHAT do you really want," I have been able to be completely selfish in the since of doing what I want... and I think I finally learned how to say the word "NO"... if only I could learn it when I go shopping.
I've been able to converse in a different language... still a little shaky... I've let my pride go out the window... there is no way to learn a language with out making a complete fool of yourself. For most of my college life so far, everyone just seems so serious all the time... trying to go through the day without actually putting an effort into enjoying life.... and that doesn't mean partying...it means actually spending time with yourself to get to know yourself better...

I've had several compromising situations here, but it's those that you remember the most. The ones that define a part of you. I am blessed with the experiences I have had thus far.... after my rant.

I went to Normady by myself on Saturday... First I had to depart at 7:45... so that meant waking up at 5, then I took the wrong train and ended up....not where I was suppose to be. After frantic calls to Ludamilla... I with the help of an American Family I befriended... found our way to Bayeux and a bus that would take us to Omaha beach. I am still in awe of the beauty of that area... and the serene atmotsphere of the grave yard. Some times I am am in disbelief that that only happened 70 years ago??

After my lovely walking tour... I made it back to the town of Bayeux... which apparently has a famous tapestry..... (I think I could have skipped that one... If you like spending like 8 euros to look at an old piece of cloth... and have a headset tell you the story of the cloth for like 30 minutes.. (when I say story... I don't mean how it was made... I mean it tells you what the pictures mean.... which is a bit obvious when looking at the 70 foot long piece of cloth... just saying) They should make it a middle ages musee or have something else... but all they have is a giant cloth.

The town itself was very adorable.... I would like to make a trip back to France in the near future to do the Normandy region... Bordeaux... and some more of the south.
