shopping, French dates, and chocolat oh my!

Bonjour loves! Sorry I only get to post about once a week. My classes here have completely been kicking my butt! Good news I'm one fierce betch and am rockin my grades! Well Well lets see, this weekend I shopped my bootay off and am lookin more and more celeb status. I went to sephora and a fab French woman did my makeup, totes princess Diana status, I finally found a shower curtain which fixed my jenk bathroom issue and got some plush towels. I totes had a me day and bought myself a faboosh cocktail at this adorbs bar that has a wooden terra and got my French on with a couple guys. Oh and the lady at the patisserie was walking around and recognized me! Faaabooosh! I've actually had a life for a few days and went to the bars! I tried a fierce new drink that has quantro, champagne and something else! I met a boy from casablanca and am having coffee with the bartender (she's a nice girl) tomorrow! Today I went to lunch and then on my French date! He's actually French arabic and moved to France by himself when he was 5! He speaks 5 different languages including, farsi, indian, french, english, and something else. He was so funny and a really nice gentlemen and might I add very cute! We spent the day joking about our cultures and walking around Angers. Last night I got to know a bunch of people in my program who are hilarious! They are such sweeties! This week is the last week of my first term! Can't believe a month has gone by, it needs to slow down! Next week my faboosh aunt and little cousin are visiting and we're going to Paris, Angers and Bordeaux! Well I miss you all tons!! Bisous! 

All I see is glitter! :)

Hi Lovies!!! I'm sorry it has been so long since I last posted! My internet has been jenk and barely working! Well since we last talked, I've had a crazy busy time at school with long days from 9-5pm and lots of hw. I'm surviving but it's brutal! This week we went to the bar with a couple French guys we met last week (not the guy I was going on a date with but a different one). They were hilarious and taught us some pretty scandalous French gestures and we taught them some quintessential american gestures and the song red solo cup haha. One of the French guys who was very cute and nice asked me on a date so now I'm just playing the French field ;) We then terrorized a couple bars and partied with a Parisienne. Friday we to a troglodytique town where everyone used to live in caves but it rained like crazy and of course I'm wearing my faboosh shoes and a fierce dress with no umbrella. I totes ended up looking like a not so fabulous wet dog, sooo attractive! Well after our tour of the town, we went on a wine tour at a different area. We learned how wine was made and went to a "wine tasting". It was really fun but a million people were there all fighting for wine at the wine tasting so that was the only downside. After that we went to a troglodytique dinner which was underground and in a cave. It was faboosh!  Everything is made with mushrooms, its was fabooshly delicious.The food was great but sups rich so I had a tuff time on the bus ride attempting to digest all the cream, I pretty much thought I was dying. That night we went to see the fireworks for Bastille. They put on a fierce show with lasers and everything. We did end up soaked but I'm pretending the rain didn't happen and that everything was perf! We then shook our booties off at the bars and shopped like mad women today at the sales! I must say my clothes are getting more and more faboosh, it's okay to be jelly! The only problem I'm having in France is the length of meals! Compared to studying abroad in Paris, every meal here takes a butt heck long time. For lunch at the school we all eat at the cafeteria and every day we start with the appetizer like salad, then we are served the entree then served cheese and bread and finnish with desert, and I mean every day and it takes a while to serve each thing! Lunch is usually 1 and a half hours! I'm not used to sitting for a meal for that long. Even our dinners usually take about 2 hours. There are def some weird people in my class, they are all younger than me too so now I feel like a granny! They talk about frat parties and I'm just sitting there like yeah I'm old balls and am an alumni haha. Well that is all I have for now! I'm trying to upload pics now but of course my internet is being a betch! I will post whenever I can! Love and miss ya! 

Death by croissant?

Bon matin my loves! I'm loving Angers more and more each day! I'm starting to become a fabulous a regular at restaurants here, they even have my orders in the morning ready, celeb status! Although yesterday I was totes parched and only had time to buy my croissant at my petit patisserie but had the brilliant idea to shove my croissant down while walking and of course started choking on it! I looked like a psycho as I desperately reached for my water, not my most faboosh moment. In fact I had a hot mess day yesterday, I have this silk top and that goes underneath my sheer tops, well the silk top underneath can slide down because my bra is silk, well those 2 added together equaled me flashing a bra full to the german girl in class, I know trés classy. I need to keep that in check! I'm absolutely loving the bar scene here, its a lot of fun! We go to this adorbs bar that has 2 euro beer where I have my new friend a faboosh bar tender named Albane, she wants to meet up for coffee. Across the street from the bar is a greek sandwich place where I met a cute French guy that is taking my out on a date. His brother owns the store and is hilarious. He tells me everyday I am the most beautiful girl in France and gives me lollipops (a little weird but hey its free candy! oh and don't worry it's legit, not roofied lollipops!), yesterday he even asked for my autograph, yup I'm on my way to fame! We've met quite a handful of French guys at the bars, some interesting and some that are questionable. I'm pretty sure one guy assaulted poor Christine's face when he did the French greeting. My classes are good, very long though, the other day we went for 7 hours! There's still some usual snots in my class and a chick with a legit piercing through her GUM! Yes I said gum as in your mouth and I totes always state when she talks. We've already gotten to go to the bars with our teaching assistants and lets say the wine was flowing and the dancing ragin! Last night we went on our first excursion and it was to the "Puy du fou" which is this cute light show with a chateau on the water and giant fountains in front. They actually put projections on the chateau and the fountains! They had actors that acted out some of France's history, it was totes weird but also really pretty! Oh and family, France has us beat at the wave! While waiting for the show to start we def did the wave at least 10 times, they ate that shizz up! Also Justin, I committed the worst crime and tried to use the bathroom at tati! And of course they were jenk as usual, I think tati is just universally jenky! I wish you could all be here, the town is too adorbs, I'm pretty sure Belle from beauty and the beast lives here somewhere! Also like the spaz I am I totes left my camera cord, that's why I have a lack of pictures but my Pops is sending me my cord so I can upload them! Well I hope you all have a faboosh day! Bisous! 

fabooshly getting closer to fluency?

Well bonjour my loves! Time for another fabulous update! So yesterday I did some major shopping, totes lost 5 pounds probably! While shopping we saw the funniest weirdest marching band thing I'd ever seen. There were 8 guys and girls wearing weird white capris with gold ribbon marching around with a tuba player and some girl calling out commands on a megaphone. I'm pretty sure it was meant to be some weird funny skit because they would do these weird drills then run around the street kissing random strangers! My 2 friends weren't sure if they should be afraid or if they could stop from laughing, the marching band even terrorized unsuspecting victims shopping at Zara haha. Last night I joined the faboosh Angers bar scene! Really cute bars with american music. There was some flirting with sexay French boys and making some faboosh french friends. Today I had class, the placement is based on 7 levels, 1 being total beginner and 7 totally advanced. I placed as a 5 and am thrilled about it! My teacher is adorbs! It is exhausting though, we have class from 9am until 5pm with an hour break for lunch! We speak in total French or you get marked down. I've never spoken this much French in my life! Not even in Paris! I feel myself getting more and more fabulously closer to being fluent! On another note Happy 4th betchs! I'll be getting my red, white and blue sexay on tonight at the bars! Hope you all have a faboosh 4th! 

Cathedrals, French men, croissants oh my!

Bonjour my loves! Welp today we had faboosh croissants covered in butter, it was practically sex for your mouth! I had my orientation and found out my program is pretty much the coolest. So they said we do all our work in class so no homework at night and encourage us to experience bar life! They even took us on a walking tour of cool bars and said that our teaching assistants often take you to the bars or parks to drink wine and practice. I can already see myself forming a beautiful wine filled friendship with this program! We also saw a fiercely faboosh cathedral, so stunning and went to the ever amazing H&M where I had to convince myself I already have too many scarves, I really do have a problem, scarves anonymous here I am! We had beer at a cute pub and some seriously jersey shore meets bad haircuts Frenchmen flirted with us, they were so douchey I think my beer curdled! We later had some lunch and dinner on campus, soo much better than Paris dining center. We had cheese, éclairs, chicken and other fun stuff! Welp tomorrow is my placement exam and we will be going to the bars at night, I'm sure I will have some scandalous gossip tomorrow or at least some new leads in club black book! Miss ya! 

Hi guys!! I'm currently in Angers, France and still looking faboosh despite being drooled on by some French arabic guy with supa bad BO! It gave me the rude reminder of the BO problem here which appears to be in full effect! I almost missed my flight to Paris so I pretty much had to run through Chicago like a mad woman, screaming wait for me Pariiis! I did make it though and managed to take care of my 66 pound full of fabulous clothes zebra print bag, I felt proud! I was later personally escorted by a French man that works at Charles De Gaulle to my train and he even wanted to buy my ticket for me! I said no but instead he gave me his number and said he could show me a night out on the town in Paris! I'm getting better than last time, this time it only took 10 minutes of being back in France for a guy to give me his number, guess club black book is back and better than ever! I also am supa lucky I met my friend, it legit took the 2 of us helping each other to get the dang suitcases on the train! DIVA status! Angers is absolutely stunning! It seriously looks like out of a dream or a doll house. The people here are nicer and its more laid back but no one really speaks English haha but thankfully they understand my crazy version of French! Oh and btw I had the MOST amazing grilled cheese sandwich for dinner, it was smothered on top completely with cheese, uuuuh HEAVEN! Welp tomorrow I take a tour of Angers and attempt to find hangers, my faboosh clothes cannot wait another day in a heap! Miss you!
