Bonne Année 2009

So it may or may not have been many weeks since I've played around here in my blogosphere. Sorry. 2009 will bring aboout change in that respect, and many others.

Finlandia Recap:
Loved it!
Loved the snow, spending time with my family, meeting my sister's friends, exploring a country where I had no chance of expressing myself in the local language(s), seeing alto buildings, seeing Helsinki, taking trains, staying in futuristic hotels with no check desk, pulla (if that is how you spell it,) exploring the Stockholm airport (twice,) pretending to witness a Russian invasion of the country, stopping a rest stop on the highway that doubles as a cheese factory, and going into Vaasa's bunker just a hop skip and a jump from my sister's apartment.

Paris is still nice. But traveling to Finland just further emphasized the fact that I love the cold and the countryside and that Paris might just be a little too big for my taste. Even if they do have the best bread and cheese combination.

I took part in the Soldes since I've been back. Its like Black Friday but for a month. I came out with some shoes. Haven't decided if I'm going back in or not. We'll see.

Two more weeks until the end of the semester here and then I get another little mini vacation. Until things pick back up again in February.

Tomorrow's plans include going to the Sorbonne and pleading with the history department for them move two of my exams, since right now they are all at the same time, and going to some métro stops that have yet to be explored based of a book that I recieved for Noel, Métro Stop Paris. A fun history read if you have the time.
