aren't i clever? it is tuesday night, i am exhausted, my feet are swollen and full of blisters (i think they may actually start getting infected), and all i want to do (besides eat nutella) is go to sleep. work is good, but it is such a busy time. i never really had much of a decompression time to just get adjusted. oh well, nothing like getting thrown into the chaos all at once. haha, when i left tonight, the secretary just looked at me and laughed. i looked at her and seriously almost cried when i said, "i am so happy to leave!" it's not that the job is bad (cuz it's not!), but i am just not to having this kind of schedule. yeah, its great to come home and not have homework to do, but i do have some work tonight and frankly i really enjoy going to sleep at 3 am and getting up at noon. and man, not getting paid for this is rough. being an intern is rough. eh, such is life.
i did see a whole crew of pompiers (paris paramedics, basically) on the metro today. they were going to go workout. they were just darling in their matching uniforms. i think it's a requirement to be sexy to be a pompier.
i took the metro to the eiffel tower for lunch. i normally eat in the cafeteria, but it was a lovely day and i needed some fresh air and sunshine. i ate my little cheese and veggie sandwich with the eiffel tower booming behind me. i bought a cone of pistachio gelato on my way back. it made me smile. and the guy who served it to me did, too, as i could not say what i needed to say but he knew i was trying and thought it was cute. and i appreciated that smile.
ive also noticed that i am far from a tourist now. it's nice. i am scared, however, that i am going to return and realize that ive turned into a bitch. big cities will do that to you. i dont want to be the unpaid, poor, jaded intern.
my new favorite song is 'nature' by talib kweli and featuring justin timberlake. jt just rocks my world. oh britney...sucka.
