Ireland!!

Hey all!
Again sorry I havn't written in a long time. The handyman was able to fix the internet problem and was suppose to send me the password by e-mail but has not done so.. im still waiting. SOON I HOPE!!!!

Anyways not much has been going on. The regular walking around, visiting and meeting new people. Tonight I had a friend over for supper. His name is Alex and he is from Ireland but lives in Paris, so he's got the sweet accent going on. I cooked salmon, rice and a good salad. MMMM it was good. I haven't had salmon in such a long time and there is a fish market just across the street so I figure i'd cook that. Very easy to cook and very tasty!! We watched some Kevin Smith movies and then he left to go watch futbol with his friends! Damn soccer :)

I officially start work on Friday and am very excited. Im excited to establish a little routine and to start making some money. It will be good. I got a call from my boss yesterday asking if I could work the next 2 weeks including Sundays... (I guess i've matured). Therefore I work non stop for the next 2 weeks then I go back to working 2 days a week. And then I can start planning little trips here and there for my days off. I'm sooo excited to start planning! My friend Jackie let me borrow her Europe travelling book and I began looking at places that I would want to go.. man there are too many places.... I don't know how I will choose. I will definitely go To Berlin Germany and Rome Italy. But then if I go to Rome I also want to go to Florence ,Pisa and Naples.. which means I cant do that in only 5 days....ayyayyeee! SO many hard descisions ;)

So IRELAND....
I was talking with a girl who works at the Peace and Love Hostel, Karen and she was telling me that she knows someone who lives on a farm in Ireland who is always looking for people to help out around the farm. So I was thinking... FANTASTIC!!!!! I so want to do that!!! She even gives you a place to stay for free! I was thinking it could be interesting to do for a month or 2. And it would give me the chance to visit Ireland a little bit. How exciting! I was thinking maybe after my sister's visit. She is here end of September early October. SO right after that and come back to Paris for Christmas. I don't know what you all think.. but to me it sounds great!!!! I'm sure my aunt Madeleine will also think its a good idea that I spend some time in Ireland.. right Madeleine??? ;) Could you remind me again which part of Ireland I should visit?

So back to Paris... there is a rumor going on that the streets of Paris have dog crap everywhere. I hear it all the time and heard it alot back home too. Let me be the one to clarify this rumor. Whatever you heard about the dog crap is aboslutely and 100% TRUE!!! THERE IS DOG DOODOO EVERYWHERE!!!!! everywhere dog crap. ALSO, many of the small streets of Paris smell like urine.. well, where I live atleast and that is because everyone is always peeing in the streets.... well guys. I mean hey.. can you atleast hide if your gonna pee in the street. I was walking in the street and a guy was peeing on the sidewalk.. facing the street at 2 in the afternoon. Hey buddy.. if your gonna do that AT LEAST HIDE IN A CORNER!!!! so disrespectful.. and very nasty. hehe.. and while were on the topic of disrespectful... is it SO HARD to throw your trash in the garbage and not on the street?? I dont know.. but back home I didnt throw my junk in the streets.. i threw it in the garbage can. Paris is packed with trash cans but people choose to throw there junk on the ground. There is a can just 2-3 steps away.. but NO.. on the floor it goes. Now im not a very environmental.. save the earth kinda girl.. but its driving me up the wall. I was at the hostel and there is a garbage can beside the door.. instead of throwing his empty pack of cigs in the can (seriously RIGHT BESIDE THE DOOR) the dude opens the door and throws it on the sidewalk... I could not believe it. I guess back home we are taught not to pollute.... I don't know what happened here... (Sorry to any French people reading this.. but thats just the way I feel).
Hey that felt good. Don't let this negativity get to you though; Paris is still awesome and im still having an awesome time ;)
Hope everything is good for everyone! Hope the weather has been better than here. RAIN.... COLD..... I almost wore my scarf today.. just to give you an idea.
Anways take it easy!
Much love to everyone!!!
