zomg robbed! (was New and Old Friends!)

Also, I think Brian might be in Morocco right now with his program.

Due to being robbed on Friday night, I have no pictures of Alyssa, Carrie, and Basie's visits, or of my trip to Brussels. But I'll put up pictures from Carrie's visit that she left on my computer.

The robbery was actually pretty exciting, it was after me and Amber got off our bus in Brussels. The actual act of robbery sucked because it was scary and all my screaming at this man in French and then running after him after he tore my purse off my shoulder (literally the leather ripped super easy) did nothing. But I managed to file a police report in French, and then we went to a club for free because one of the officers knew the owner, and it was overall a really great trip thanks to couchsurfing.com and cheapo food everywhere. Yum Belgian waffles are amazing! Their fries are pretty normal and the beer was good. A pleasant adventure overall, wish i had a picture of me and Amber there to put up!

We went to Versailles last weekend, and I met up with Carrie and Alyssa there, and then had swanky dinner with Alyssa and her mom. This was the day after our ridiculous dress up dinner party (which was amazing! damn all the pictures of the food are gone too) including all our homemade chocolate mousse, strawberry tart, roasted rosemary chicken with tomatoes, and potatoes daphinois, and Carrie sleeping over. Oh Carrie and I got delicious Vietnamese food that day too, at La Bambou, best Vietnamese in Paris I think. Versailles was really cool inside but it was a pretty miserable day outside.

I need to focus on school now; I've been missing a lot of class because I was sick last week (yay health insurance! the doctor recognized me and so did the pharmacist. Also, I don't have mono!) and I need to skip more to go to the Embassy tomorrow to see if I can get a passport. Right now I'm totally off the map. Aaah midterms!
