Guests

Oi. It has a been a busy but good week. Chris came to Paris for the first time last Thursday and stayed until Monday morning. It was really nice. I hadn't seen him since I went to Italy in October so it was good to see him again. We had a lot of fun. Saw the big touristy things, hung out. I heard the Maria song and we watched Hosed and Drunk Marquee Moon. It is nice to see someone from home every now and then so you can come back to reality in a sense. We talked about next year a lot and are currently looking into getting an HRO. We'll see how that goes.

So Chris left Monday and Dad came on Tuesday. I have to admit I was a bit surprised he actually made it but I am glad he did. He didn't really appreciate it but he saw some cool things and did seem to enjoy himself. He just has a giant mental block preventing him from leaving his comfortable little box. Whatever, at least he left the US and got to see me in Paris and that is about all I can ask for right now. It did get taxing at times when Dad couldn't do ANYTHING alone. It was 4 days of constant handholding. But it is done and I hope Dad really did get something out of this trip.

It was nice having guests but I am a bit tired and run down and rather congested. I have work to do but lack any motivation plus it is rather nice outside. We'll see how much work gets done. Christa comes on Thursday so I need to get some stuff done before then. She will only be here 2 nights so I will still have some time to get some stuff done over the weekend. I would like to be able to be finished with everything for my soc. class by the end of next week (aka a week early). I think that is doable. If I could get this second fiche done this weekend I will be comfortably ahead of the game.

It is bizarre that I am in the middle of all of my work and everyone at Pitt is done. So weird. Less than 2 months until I am done and less than 4 until I am home. Still have no idea what I am doing this summer but c'est la vie. Not too worried about it at the moment. I only have 6 weeks really so if nothing happens I think I will stick around Paris a bit then head home early and look for a place to live in Pittsburgh. I just need to make sure I don't end up spending too much time at my house. I think I can handle it.

Hopefully motivation will find me soon. Same with clear nasal passages. At least I get to sleep in tomorrow. Thank goodness.
