Passport incident

Ok...if you're checked out Peter's page...he wrote his version of the passport story...but it was the funniest thing I've ever seen and I wanna tell it from my point of view, lol...so ...we're sitting at the back of the bus ready to leave the Mercure Hotel :) our home :) ...and I was just chatting with Peter..He was holding his passport and I was bored, lol so I asked him to see it...when I open up to the picture I notice that it's not Pete but it's Jon, lol...so I turn to Pete and I was like uhhhh Peter this isn't you. and he starts flipping out...so I turn to Scott and I was like Scott, Pete needs to go to the room to look for his passport, and he was like...well then he better go stop the bus...lol...(this is great) so Pete starts like slapping his body..I don't know why..like a total maniac...(lmfao.....sryy...as i was saying) and he just like leaps forward and starts sprinting towards the front...at that moment...he just did like this ballerina spin! i swear i saw his hand go up over his head like a ballerina! lool! he was facing forward when he was running but he did his spin he like turned so his back was facing the ground and he just flew to the floor..face down...and it was the funniest thing...Pete what the hell did you even trip over?? lol..every1 was just like quiet...no1 knew how it happened lol..it was great..if I ever need a laugh I just think about how Pete's a ballerina and just start hysterically laughing...mannnn..where the hell was Oscar with the video camera!?

It's over

Paris is over..
I remember weeks ago us all counting down the days and I cannot beleive we are already back. It's amazing how time flies by...
The trip was great...really a dream. My one wish came true!! On one the last days of the trip, me and a couple of others went to have lunch at the Eiffel Tower. It was great...I mean I spent 26 euro for a steak that was smaller than my palm, lol but it was worth it. I guess you're really just paying for the experience. The professors were with us to, all but Scott. In order to have lunch at the Eiffel Tower you have to make reservations 3 months in advance! But we got the hook up! from our tour guide Nathalie. After lunch me, Ty, Pete, Ray, John and some others from the group decided to go all the way to the top. What a dream! It was the most amazing view I had ever seen before! I could have stood up there all day long...but I actually had to leave because I was meeting my best friend Mathysse at the bottom. She is going to school in London right now and came to Paris to see me because she knew I was coming. So we decided to meet at the center of the Tower on the bottom...Can't confuse that meeting spot, lol...after that we walked around the city...went shopping for a little bit...and bought some "flats" lol...great day...
That was the highlight of my trip even though the whole thing was amazing. Now I'm home and I am going through withdrawal hahaa...I miss being around everyone and just being in Paris in general...The snow in Jersey is also not helping...Ill post some more pics :)

Me at the top of the Tower...look at that view

Living a dream

Today is March 11th and it's my third day in Paris. I do have to say I am having an amazing time and this is an unbeleivable experience. All the people I'm with are great! and we've been spending every waking moment together (which is basically 24/7 since we don't sleep). I already by this point have seen Versailles, The Notre Dame Cathedral, The Eiffel Tower and still have more to come. It's been an interesting few days... My teacher almost got killed by a weird man at the metro station who was cursing at him for absolutely no reason...I've gotten stuck in the metro just about everytime I go through (now named..being "Jenny-ed")...and me and Sara cannot seem to find a way to straighten our hair! But I can't complain...cause I'm having the time of my life! Yesterday was a great but crazy night where we all decided to go to Peanuts and get a little intoxicated...hahaaa..it was definitely fun. Tomorrow we are going to do some more sightseeing and maybe go a little shopping. We are in one of the biggest fashion capitals in the world so I must go home with some clothes!! The number one thing I have to say I'm looking forward to is eating lunch at the top of the Eiffel Tower! We're supposed to do that on Tuesday or Wednesday and I really hope it falls through. I'll keep you updated...
Going to get some rest...we have a long day tomorrow

Paris

So...my name is Jenny and in about 2 months, I'm flying all the way to Paris. I've already been to Italy about two years ago and it was one of the best experiences of my life, so I can't wait to go to Paris because I'm sure it will be just as beautiful. I'm not too excited about the long flight there but I'm sure it will be worth it! :)
