Les Relations Internationales Illicites

Hello to everyone just joining in on the yoho blogging experience! I hope you find the whole thing to be interesting and fun. As a little disclaimer, all opinions expressed herein are definitely my own. I take the credit and/or blame for all of it. I merely write about life as I see it - I tend to be a little biased about somethings, but honestly that's life. We all have different opinions, different upbringings, backgrounds, etc etc. I also tend to be a little wordy. I haven't edited much of my writing. Therefore if you don't understand what I wrote, never fear, because chances are that no one else does either. haha. So welcome to the world of a young American female student in Paris.

In the spirit of being productive, I went to the Sorbonne library at Clignancourt. My big question is: why hadn't I done this before?! There was so much room. There were so many books. There were places to plug in my laptop. I was in nerd heaven! My reason for going was to do research on illicit internationl relations for a paper I'm writing. It's basically on nuclear proliferation, globialization and the economic factors that play into the whole mess. I fear that economics will follow me for the rest of my life ... a history paper involving economics, whoever would have thought of such a thing. I have this friend at home who is an economic king. He rocks it. We took the same econ class during freshman year in college - I didn't do so well while he received an A. Oh, the economic jealously. I actually think it's an important subject and I'm rather intrigued by it. Just don't start breaking out the economic calculus equations because I might have an academic breakdown. I digress.

I really should go food shopping tomorrow. I had yogurt for breakfast and hot chocolate for dinner. Not exactly the best daily diet. I should really purchase meat and hope that Madame doesn't eat it. Speaking of Madame, we're not really on speaking terms. Although I still live with her, there is discontentment in the air. She thinks I broke her internet connection. Plus she lost a set of important keys recently and I have a feeling that might be blamed on me as well. I apparently have also not been very nice to her lately (according to her) because I didn't want to play for a long time with the grandchildren this past weekend. She started calling me stupid again. I merely walk away from her everytime she does it. I think she has a problem. I worry about her. She has been forgetting to feed Cat. She has been losing so many things. She has been drinking a lot - every night when she comes home, before doing anything else, she downs Vodka shots. She's moody. I've decided that maybe we're not so similar.

p.s. On a lighter note, I just saw the girlfriend of this guy I know. Turns out she is the prof from one of my most HATED classes. lol. I'm cracking up!!!
