FInally!

Hey Gang!
I FINALLY got the internet to work. It was about time!

So I finished my 14 days non stop of work. I finished yesterday. It was about time because I was OUT of energy. OUT OF ENERGY! I did make a whole bunch of money so it was worth it, but wow I deifnitely need a few days to rest now. I would work, come home, have supper and then go to bed right away because I was so tired. Now I can relax and enjoy my time in Paris! :)
I think that I will try and see if I can handle working for her for 2 days a week. Because really, it is conveniant. With those 2 days, I make enough money to pay my rent and have 65 $ a week to spend.. and really... I NEVER spend 65$ a week. Also, i get 5 days off to do some travelling... I don't think I could ask for more.... well yeah.. I COULD ask for a better boss.....but.. oh well.... everything can't be perfect all the time!!! So I think that is the plan. Work 2 days a week, on sunday's she is not there so that will be a relaxing and fun day but then my second day she will be there.... so really it's only one day a week... it can't be THAT bad.. right.....??? oh god! haha!

So apart from that everything is going well. Meeting people, walking around, visiting, hanging out at the Peace and Love etc. Last week there was a guy named Joe from the states who was staying at my hostel and he was just SO AWESOME that we hung out together the entire time he was there. We went walking around to the louvre to the eiffel tower, Notre Dame, Arc de triumph...etc..... it was just so cool. He was so much fun. It was so hard to see him leave. I got so use to having him around the hostel just hanging out and talking to me when it was quiet. He made it a more fun place to work at. Hes a great person!!

Yesterday I had two canadian twins stay at my place because they didn't have a place to stay at. They came to my hostel and we didn't have a place, and I had just bought an air matress because I will be having visitors from back home pretty soon. So I told them they could stay with me. We had a GREAT time. We went to the Peace and Love and had a few drinks ( Not too much mom) to celebrate my last day of work. It wa sooooo much fun!! They are so funny!! They have been travelling for the last 8 months and have been everywhere!!!!! They were the type of people that make you feel comfortable right away. I felt like I had known them all my life!! They have a cousin who lives in Montreal so they go there once in a while, hopefully we will keep in touch and I will get the chance to see them again. There flight was landing in Montreal today and it made me a little bit jealous. It made me miss home and my family quite a bit. They were telling me how hard it was during Christmas time when they called home and all their family was having a great meal, all the family was reunited together and they were so far away eating a little sandwich and it made me realise that i will have to go through that exact same thing. It will be very very hard. Luckily I have some friends here so I won't be totally alone for christmas.

Last week, my friend Amelie from back home came to Paris. This is a girl I met in Paris two years ago when I came to visit. She was doing exactly what I am doing now. We kept in touch and saw each other once in a while back in Montreal. She came back to Europe for a few weeks and she stopped by Paris. It was great to see her. Me her and Gilles went to see the catacombs. Which is something I had always wanted to see but never got the chance too. It was awesome but definitely a little creepy. You walk in an underground tunnel with almost no lights.. and then you enter this room that is just covered with bones and skulls.... and it goes on for like a 10 minute walk. Its so freaky. Here are some pictures!














































Lovely right??

And these pictures I took when I went walking with Joe. I thought thes epictures were very gorgeous so I thought I would share them with you.... I didn't want to leave you guys with pictures of skulls and bones... ugh!















































Anyways.... I better not write anymore because I can imagine it would get boring reading this after a while.... but now that I have internet I will be able to update it more often!!
I hope that everyone is doing well!!
I really miss everyone!!!!
Mom Dad and Mimi.. I miss you guys sooo much!!!!! I always love hearing from you, so keep me posted!!!!! I love you so much!!!
Take it easy!!!

Hi Vivi,

WoW, those pictures of the Louvre are just beautiful. Worth blowing up a little and putting it in a frame beside your Eiffel Tower and Swiss mountains. I miss you too, but I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your trip.

Love you!!!!!!11
