We got up at 4:30am Paris time (10:30pm Miami time) and took a shuttle to the airport because the earliest flight of one of our group members was 7:30. My flight wasn't until 11:15, so I was chillin' in the airport, eating cookies and talking to Jordan until we boarded. My flight felt a lot shorter than it was, thankfully! When I first got on the plane I had a window seat, which was lovely but also meant that I couldn't get out easily and didn't have a whole lot of room. Just as I was becoming content with this situation, a flight attendant asked me if I wanted more room! I said I would and she moved me to an aisle seat with two empty seats next to me. It was terrific. I knew I needed to sleep, so I had a cute mini wine bottle on the flight (complements of Air France)and after my vegetarian meal, was in a perfect spot to snooze for a couple of hours. Because I had free seats next to me, I curled up on two of them and it was pretty good!
I'm really not sure what I did with the other 7 1/2 hours of my flight. I didn't read, I don't think I watched an entire movie on the flight, and there was no one to talk to. Ah, the mysteries of life.
In any case, I got home at 3pm Miami time and Dad picked me up. I was so glad to see him! We got home and saw Tristan and decided that we should all go swimming. We put on our suits and hit the back yard, where the sun was shining. Ooh yes. So nice. The water was even warm. We got back inside and I got washed up and put on clean pajamas and then we watched Tangled. First of all, I love that movie. It is my favorite that Disney has done in recent years. Secondly, I cried during it. Twice. Again. The first time I watched it there was a constant stream of tears running down my face at two separate parts of the movie. This time wasn't much different. Good tears, though :)
I went to bed at about 9pm (3am Paris time) and surprisingly didn't wake up at all until almost 7, and even then I went back to bed until 9! I am a super jetlag killer, I've decided. I got up and at 'em and after eating breaky, watching the Today show, and calling my mom, decided I needed to find a job. I called a couple of places I'd applied to online and they said they weren't hiring. Bummer! So I went out to a plaza with a lot of new boutiques and restaurants to see if anyone wanted to hire me. Then I went to another plaza, and then a mall. I was out for almost five hours total. Hopefully not without fruit; many of them took my resume/application. We'll see.
So now I'm getting ready to go to bed.
If you're my family, know that I love you and I'm glad to be home. If you're my friend, know that I miss you and I want you to call me or write me a letter. I would write back.
