ME!!! I made it home from the wonderful world that is France yesterday at about 12:30 pm my time. I had the most amazing time and am more in love with the country if its possible. I got to see everything I wanted to see, did some things I never ever thought I would try and oh...met James Franco. Yeah, my trip rocked.
How is everyone here? I've missed you!

Hmm..stories...I have many...many....many stories. We had a blast there after we got over some drama about the adults not trust any of us to go anywhere by ourselves. See my teacher couldn't come because at the last minute her daughter was in a car accident and she felt it best to stay there to help with her grandson.
So, she stuck someone else in charge who well...she's a nice person but ever the tourist if I've seen one. She works at the school as well and I think thats why Madame put her in charge. But really the students ran this trip because the adults didn't know what they were doing half the time.
So this woman well, decided that after she saw some beggars at the Eiffel Tower that tried to get us to give them money and heard about all the pick pockets...*gasp* who knew there were pick pockets in the city?
She decided that no one in our group could go out without an adult with us. Except for me because "technically" according to her I'm an adult and she couldn't stop me. And also because I've been there before. So...our group bonded over the hatred of her.
But this settlement didn't last long because we emailed madame and madame took action for us. she called our group leader, and the tour manager and bitched them out. Meaning we got our freedom back. So, we all still managed to have a good time in Paris even with that rule instated for like a day. It did however bond all of us students so it served a purpose.
Now Paris was...amazing. I'm more in love with it than I was before. I was in Paris for Bastille day! I watched fireworks next to a cute guy under the Eiffel Tower on Bastille Day...life was amazing. I got to hear James Blunt for a while too because he was there. It rocked. Really it did.
Now, onto another James...Franco that is. He was actually at the Louvre filming a short thing with a couple friends when another girl from my group spotted him. She freaked out...walked over to us...we converged in a small group and she told us. Then...some of them got the courage to walk over to him and he started talking to them. I waited for like five minutes and then I walked over to him. He was sooooo nice. Like seriously he was for putting up with a group of American Girls where he probably didn't expect to be recognized.
But he was nice, let us take pictures with him. And did I mention freaking gorgeous? And I am sooo proud of myself, I didn't go all crazy fangirl until after he walked away. It was like...ahhhmazing. And his smile rocks...because he smiled at us. And waved goodbye to us. I was in heaven. Really I was.
so..want anymore stories? I could on and on and on.

Oh I can gladly go on and on..it gets better when the adults let us have some effing freedom. I flirted with a cute French boy at the market......it was nice. Well on Bastille Day which is the French independence day we had a pretty laid back day, going off to see the Sacre Coeur and then I shopped with two other girls on the trip. Now, we came back a little bit before we had to be ready for dinner so I decided to run to the Monoprix, their version of Wallgreens except BETTER.
I wanted to get some food because I knew we'd be on the bus a lot the next day because we were heading for Dinard for the next night. Now, I went there, located some food to bring with me and a drink and then I went to a register that just so happened to have a cute french boy there. He was sooo nice and he spoke to me in French! And I understood...because I think he spoke slower for me. Anyways he was so nice and had such a nice smile...mmm.
Later that night at about 10:30 I literally ran with the tour manager and a few other people to the Eiffel Tower because my hotel was literally a ten minute walk from it. So we ran for the Fireworks and oh my freaking god...I watched the most amazing Fireworks display next to another cute guy under the Eiffel Tower on Bastille Day in Paris! I think its like the highlight from my trip.
And which pics would you like? I've got over 800....lol. And more stories to come..hehehe.
