Not about Paris

Haya guys, I'm really depressed right now so I'm just gonan write a quick blogg entry to get some of it out.
Once again sorry for making my entries about Paris so freakin' long I have to divide one day in two parts :'(, but I hope you read it anyway :D

Almost only depressing stuff have happened today, it started with me going to school. Finally my dad had fixed adn refixed my bike so I thought: YES now I'll finally take the bike to school again. I come down, look for my bike, where the heck is it? I just saw it yesterday being locked here.
Then I see a wheel and on it my bike lock was on it. I COULD NOT BELIEVE it.
I don't know why really, bike theft are really usual but I just never thought it would actually happen to me. Now I'm both mad and depressed and then even more angry when my mum had to lecture me about it. S I G H

Also the 2 places I applied for summerjob, through the municipality cancelled. Crap, no summer job! Feeling more and more broke....

We've suddenly have thousand things more to do in school. 3 freackin' essays (no joke), history questions, more french presentations, music test, civics (economy) presentation and probably dozens of things more I just don't remember.

Why don't you kill me and be done with it? XD

I'm drugging "Play My Music", I swear.

Are you hungry?

... S O ...

Day 2; 3th May [part 1, I'm so sry guys!]
We arrived in Paris about 6 o'clock in the (freakin') morning, after being up since 4-5 in the morning already.
Coming and seeing Paris again brought back so many memories, no matter how many times I have been to Paris I still miss it and becomes so happy being there again. :D

We rolled in from north Paris and drove directly to our hotel in Gare du nord.
For you guys who haven't been there, Gare du Nord is one of the trian stations in Paris and you all know what it's like around train stations (enough said..XD). But around here and the neighbouring 19th arrondissment (Paris is divided into 20 areas, suburbs not included) are the absolutely worst areas in Paris. So can you imagen the thoughts running inside all my newly-awakened-first-time-in-Paris classmates? And if you haven't been there for real or been some place with the same condition it's hard to imagen what we saw.

What really upsets me is that these classmates (can surely say about 90%) was so sure that whole Paris was so fabulous as they see on TV and all the magazines. With fabulous Eifeel tour, glamorous Champs Élysée and those other things. I can get that you have this picture of the way Paris looks and all that but how come they almost fainted seeing this part is Paris.
France haven't the same well-fare system as in Sweden where practically everything is clean and tidy. France is a Industrial country and all that jazz but did they for real think that everything was that glamorous? Paris is a huge million-city did they really think it didn't have bad sides too? Seriously, how are their concept of the world?

When we arrived we had to drag all our luggage down the stairs, to a shaggy luggage space. I can tell you it was FAR from everyone that had small suitcases like me, some of them were huge. XD After that 32 people had dragged down their luggages we had a programme to follow. Next stop: La Défense!
Everyone feeling really unfresh and tired the whole class stumbled to Gare du Nord to have some breakfast.
-You get one hour to hunt down breakfast...aaannd BREAK!
That was my breakfast that day, orange juice and a croissant. Don't worry I got used to being hungry all the time in Paris....
We took the Métro to La Défense (see picture one XD). As said before our original teacher who does all the Paris-Nantes trips couldn't come to in the last minutes they took 2 other teacher who've never done it before, so it ended up with that one of the teachers asked me to give directions in the Métro and such. Mahahahaa, I felt so powerful XD, no but it was really fun taking charge. (powermadness!)
We came to La Défense (with me on the lead off course XD) about 8 o'clock and it was really amazing. La Défense being on the outskirts of Paris gives the whole place certain clamness and peacefulness. I don't know really maybe it was only morning when we were there but it was very different from the Paris I know, where everyone rushes and shoves. It was a nice change though.

We came back to Gare du Nord to walk up to Sacré Ceur cathedral. Off course the teachers didn't know the way there and I had to ask for the directions, in French ;) oh yeah!
We came there after a while and jsut as we were going through the gates to the cathedral me and 3 other friends got attacked by these black men holding these strings in their hand wanting us to take our hands out. The funny thing is me and one friend just got passed them but we realized we lost the 2 others so we went back to see them. When we saw them, both of them were stuck with these black men and when we were heading towards them the black men got us too.
I didn't really know what they were gonig to do, but he kept saying something about their religion I think and that with this string I will be happy and fortunate and all that crap. I was holding a finger out and they made this beading with the strings and he kept talking and talking, then I see my friends take their wallet out and pay.
I asked the man, how much I had to pay, and he was like no no it's free (my ass). After like 20 seconds he was finished and he was like I need to have some reward, I laughed out loud right to his face and said you jsut said it was free and he was like looking away and shaking his head. I started to go away but he kept grabbing me and like no you have to pay. I dug out my wallet, he said he wanted fifty, I couldn't believe it. I gave him 1 euro and he was still going after me I gave him the last coin I have a 50 cent, then I just walked out of there fast.
I'm such a tourist!! MAN! XD

[end of Day 2, part1]

Me striking a pose at La Défanse! XD

Let's get this party started...

Okej, get this party startin'!! XD Huhu France feels like years ago now XD. I'll write everything I remember. ;)

Day 1; 2th May
The big day finally. I think I mentioned the freakin' problem I had finding a present for my hostfamily. (I'm really glad I did made the extra effort to find the perfect gift, they loved it XD)
So I came to school with my luggage, a smaller suitcase with wheels and one carrier bag (like sportsbag but fancy), on the bus (a bit problematic). I came rolling into school and I saw massive bunch of people on front a bus. I was like is that our bus? Our class are not that many, whta's the occasion?! XD It was the parents!
I hadn't expected this, really! Maybe it's just be that said Goodbye quickly to my parents before I went out but not kidding there were many parents crying there. It was actually some in my class going away somewhere without their parents for the first time.

I think that's kinda sad, I mean you're 18 now. You're practically a grownup you should gone somewhere a longer distance without your parents. How else can you learn to take care of yourself? I think parents like that, over-overprotective ones are more bad parents than good parents. If you don't let your child to things on their own terms, how will they survive the future?

The clock closes 12 and we were about to leave, off course plenty people was late. That's just how our class work, we can NEVER make anything on time, even when it's something like enjoyable like going to France. XD So when everyone finally had arrived, it turned out that 2 people had forgot their passports! (o m g) Their parents had to drive home and fetch them! Incredible! After another 20 minutes we were off on the road, with about one hour behind schedule.
First we came into Denmark then we took the ferry to Germany. I could see like everyone in the bus getting all excited over this and that, that was when I realized I was a experienced bustraveller. XD I've done like this exact same travel like 3 times now.
(The picture above is some classmates posing on the ferry ;))

After that it was basically motorway,cars and more motorways. At dinnertime we had come into Germany and we stopped for dinner. It was a pretty decent small road-resting place, they had some different restaurants (correction: hamburger place). I was really glad I had made some baguettes to take with me. And two of my friends were so stoked over being such a big help ordering food in German. XD Maahha, it made them so happy, which they reminded us during our whole time in France when they were useless and we other (me and some french speaking classmates included) babbeld in French.

Then came the night.......................

Can you just guess how many hours sleep I got? 8? 6? 5? Nope, about 3-4 hours I'd say. It was disastrous! (not mentioning 2 freaky classmates who stayed up all night because they wanted to see exactly when we entered France and the sunrise, which didn't came until we arrived in Paris XD)It was like just as I felt thta I was asleep, I woke up again because of something disturbing, either not comfortable pose or noise. It almost killed me, I was like a zombie that morning.

Okej this day was totally uninteressting but here you got a very detailed verision of it anyway. I make the other shorter. I promise ;)!

Picture of the day:

OH YEAH! ;)

What happens in Paris stays in Paris

Bonjour mes amis!! I've returned from France now. It have been crazy and it was absolutely wonderful! Our class totally gave "What happens in - stays in -" a new meaning. XD

After this amzingly amazing week we've been roughly thrown out to reality again. I have a standardized test in Maths the first thing on Monday, 8 o'clock! v_v And we have to finish our (freakin') project work in two weeks and I can tell you even now that THIS is going to stress the hell out of me. Not schoolwise, I have a concert (violin) coming up and a performance of our theatre.

B I G S I G H . . . . . .

I've missed JB so much. After the 6th day in Paris and Nantes, we left Nantes to go back to Paris. I put on my iPod and "When you look me in the eyes" came up, omg I felt so like home! I squeezed my iPod so hard, I've missed listening to them so much. I've figured out that listening to JB is something that will make me feel like home even if I'm thousands miles away...

Oh btw! When I was away, they released the music video to "Play My Music" by Connext Three (Jonas Brothers) in Camp Rock. It totally rocks, it gets so freakin' awesome the more you listen to it. Makes me jump and dance! :D

Don't worry guys I will tell you everything about Paris and Nantes, I just haven't the time och space right now. I have stories for at least one week blogging, so don't worry! I really have to go back to my Maths now. So I'll give you a sneak peak ;)

Picture of the Day:

French people that are always in our hearts!

Please Be Mine-cover by me

MMaahhaa, you guys can not, will not, imagen how long it took for me to do this freakin' video. And didn't even turn out great. Hope you'll make it through the video, without getting a heart-attack or something. XD

France here we come

Haya guys! First of May today and I feel really bad for the demonstrators in Malmö, it's raining and it's really cold. :(

Yesterday was a heck of a stressful day. I was on my way to school, thought that I'd take the bike. When I took it out I hear this funny squicking noise, the back wheel was all flat. Crap, I had to run back upstairs and fetch my sister buscard (mine has no money on it). A stressful morning followed by a long break before my last lesson, History. So me and a friend of mine went out to eat something and we ended up talking for a very long time. I look at the time, Oh we started one minute ago. XD Then we ran back to school, can you imagen how it's like running next to the most athletic person in your whole class? It makes you look like the silliest person in the world, I tell ya. It was kinda okej being late so it was cool.

I agreed on joining going out finding a present to the french family we're staying at, with 2 other from my class. Only that one of them wasn't finished with the History assignment we had to hand it back in today. So we had to wait for him to be finished, it was pretty dreadful. It made really stressful just looking at them trying to make it on time. Goossh! XD Have been waiting for almost 2 hours we were finally went out.
Both of them had bicycles, I would also have had...stupid wheel! It ended up with me sitting in the back of one of the bikes and she drove me. It was a blast! XD I haven't sit in the back of a bike since I was 4 or I wonder if I have ever done it..hm? Anyway it was crraazzy, the first 5 minutes I was convinced she would drop me and I'll fall or something but after awhile it was just fun.
We went to this souvenir shop, they found their presents almost immediately. I on the other hand, don't know what I was thinking. I bought some toffee things in a cone. I was going to buy something else also off course, but WHEN was that going to happen? My brain just didn't work as usual that day.

Later me and my sister went out. Everything was about to close and I panicked. I think when I panic or get really stressful, I just block everything out and I won't think. After a while I became a bit mad. Being as stressful for not finding a present on ten minutes, I came up with the craziest ideas. Like buying a cookie jar, bake cookies and give it to them. Buying a photoalbum and take photos of Malmö and put it in. A french-swedish dictionary. A travellingbook of Malmö (which does not exist). Flowers and fake flowers. My head was all messed up.
In the end I didn't find anything and I have to go out now and find something, if I can find some stores being open today.

Picture fo the day:

Guess what I found when I looked for a box to put my presents in?!

I don't remember having so many dolls, but after we found them all the memories came back again. It was pretty insane we spent like half an hour dressing them and stuff. Oh the memories. XD
