Sunday- the walk to the Eiffel Tower

Sunday in Paris involved a VERY long walk to the Eiffel Tower, I swear it looks closer than it is! A walk was definitely nicer than taking the Metro because we got to see lots of pretty things on the way. :) I, of course, took photos of all these pretty things. :)
The Louvre was very pretty, I really like my photos from walking through there, and the pigeon who posed oh so nicely. The next photos isn't really for the prettiness rather the humour.

Vuvuzela's, around since 1918! :O

And the walk continues, I swear it looked closer! I don't think the heat helped, oh man it was hot!

Like disgustingly hot, like I would explain how hot but it would be gross hot...but the walk was pretty! :P

The cool plant wall building was really close to the Eiffel Tower, but was not as cool as actually making it to the Eiffel Tower!!! WE MADE IT!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Don't those photos make it look so worth it? I think so anyways. :) We then got a boat back along the river to the Louvre and had a yum yum lunch there (after baking in the sun for 20mins...it was some kind of initiation to see how much you wanted to eat at the restaurant). Was soooo worth it, yum yum.
So that was our trip to Paris. :) Hot but very lovely. Am thinking we made need to go during a cooler part of the year. :)

Time to get on with life, plan some more packing etc. Australia on Sunday!! :D :D :D

Saturday in Paris

Photos from our first day in Paris. We had a little rest on the really short walk to the Pompidou to watch some men trying to sort out some balloon decorations. :) It was very enjoyable and made both of us very happy I think. I really like the photos I got too. Apparently there was some kind of LGBT parade later that day in Paris, which might explain why all the bars and clubs were decorating their outsides with rainbow flags and balloons.

We got to the Pompidou, and OMG...eeek...heights. We went to the Galleries, which weren't that inspiring, but they are at the top top top. The escalators up were on the outside, and eeeek. But the view was nice, but scary.
The main exhibition was female artists. Something to do with maybe because they aren't as represented in the Art world or something...but there wasn't much that was inspiring. I think the Pompidou was definitely better last time I went. Here are the few things I found cool.

Good-bye Durham

Hello Paris (must be said French way to read as I am saying it)!!! :) Yay! Life is beautiful.

:D

So, I kind of like football when it comes to the World Cup and Euro. :) Hehe, and I kinda hate the Italian team, cuz they cheat and are arrogant. :P And the Italians I know are SOOO annoying about the Italian team. I was also not to happy with France this year, so am VERY happy they both ended up bottom of their groups. :) Yay!!!

Bye bye France, bye bye Italy.

ENGLAND!

England...somehow, managed to make it through the group stages! eeeee! Time to tidy my room (which I reorganised) and then pack. :)

PS: Awesome tops found on weheartit.com.

I need to...

Pack, that's probs the most important thing I need to do. Get my clothes to dry would also be good. Tidying my room too, I really want to rearrange my room, but I have the feeling I am not going to be happy whatever I do with it...urgh! My stupid little head. But yeah. Pack. I need to at least sort out what I want to pack. I go so soon, and I have so much to do...it's scary, but exciting! :D

Went for a walk.

Will came round with strawberries and chocolate. Mmmm. Whilst we waited for the chocolate to cool we went for a walk. I didn't realise there were nice walks near our house. Hehe. After seeing a marching band yesterday and not having my camera I felt I had to take my camera on the walk, and am very happy I did. :D Was a good thing Miriam and Will had each other to talk to whilst I took photos. :P

Very pretty. :)

Switzerland lost. :( I will get over it. They played well. Just a shame, ho hum. Back to organising and tidying my room.

Doodoodooo

I bought some sandals yesterday. I was doing fine with trainers in the British summer, but I wore a pair of shoes that gave me a blister in a place that all my shoes seem to rub so I needed some backless shoes. They are super pretty and comfy too. :) I got a dress too. I am hoping to wear it more than I wear other dresses I buy. :) Hehe. It's also from Monsoon and also super pretty. :) All African looking, I like the kind of African look. I don't think I could do a whole wardrobe full of it though. Shopping update done.

We have a bbq today. For Adrienne and Pat's belated birthdays. It should be fun, the weather isn't too bad and out tiny garden looks like 1000000 times better than it did at the beginning of the week. :)

Stuff I feel I need to do but feel like there is no time in the world to do:

-Tidy my room

-Send a package

-Pack! (OMG!!!)

-Pick modules for next year.

-Get my results back...I don't want to, stupid Linear Algebra!

-Make a pro/con list for PGCE courses

-Meet PGCE guy

-Register for modules

-Live

-Do lots of washing

It's not that much...but it makes me feel like it's a lot. Hehe. Not knowing what day it is most of the time doesn't help either! :P Time to get working on this list! Toodles.

SECOND!

It's so awesome!!! :D We are now officially second, they FINALLY updated the table. :) it's so nice to see. :D Click on the picture to see better. :)

Botanical Garden

Botanical Garden Photos!!! :D It was so lovely and sunny and the flowers were pretty. I was so happy. I think most people have things they like to photograph, some like people, some like nature. I LOVE nature, and buildings and anything not a person. I like people, just not to photograph. Hehe. Yeah, anyways. Here are my favourite photos from the day, I seem to like two photos very similar to each other...hehe, shhh. Hope they make you happy and calm. :)
