another day, another adventure


French Police

things happen to me. no matter what something always happens to me. people think i exaggerate but i have the hundreds of stories to prove it. there is the avalanche in the adirondaks that happened while i was driving home, the freak blizzard in denver (my flight to aspen got cancelled), showing up to the airport when my flight was scheduled for the next day at a totally different time (thank you daddy) and the list goes on from there. so when i got to france i prepared for the worst, i mean something has to happen, right? a day goes by nothing, 4 days go by nothing. i started to get suspicious. something HAD to happen...i mean no way could i be this lucky.

well, i hate to inform you that yes, in fact my trip took a turn for the worse yesterday. i checked into my "dorm room" if you want to call it that. i personally refer to it as the dungeon. i took pictures and will post about it later. needless to say that i spent an extra night with my cousin in her cushy hotel room at the five hotel.

anyways, today i went to class. it was the typical awkward first day of class, not much to report. however, when i went to get home is where my day began to become a typical day in alanna world. i got off the metro at the right stop only to realize that i had no idea where to go from there. so i called the people i was staying with and phillipine picked up (a 12 year old girl). she gave me the address because she did not know how to get to the apartment and was conveniently alone. well, i got myself hopelessly lost and saw a policeman on the street. i asked him if he knew where to go (in broken french) and he had no idea where it was. typical. he told me to wait a minute and he went to talk to his friend. i was motioned over and the policeman told me that he had gps and would gladly give me directions. as it turns out phillipine gave me the wrong address and the police walked me to the apartment. so yes, that was my day. hopefully tomorrow will be better.
