The one with the really long weekend.

This weekend has seemed like the longest weekend in the entire world. It started thursday night, which meant meeting up with friends at a restaurant I love. Ended up at said restaurant until 2:30 in the morning. Start of a great weekend.

On Friday I finally got to see the one thing I've wanted to see for a long time: The catacombs. They are so amazingly detailed and beautiful that it is sometimes hard to remember that every bone that makes up the walls once belonged to someone. Every skull was specially placed in the pattern, but long ago it was someone's head. Tres bizarre. I absolutely loved the catacombs and will for sure be going back again, as I get in free with my student card.

My new boyfriend.
Friday night was my friends birthday so we decided to go to this boat party we saw online. It sounded awesome, a boat on the Seine at night. Then we found out the boat didn't move and I wasn't as excited. Then we got there and they wouldn't let us in so I was even less excited. We ended up at a really cool Australian bar which was amazing! So much fun! Ended up dancing until 4:30 when they closed and caught the first metro home at 5:30. 

So basically I fell asleep at 6 and didn't wake up until 1 and didn't leave my room until 2:30 on saturday. My homestay family basically thinks I'm super lazy or super trashy (not quite sure) but I have decided I am neither. I'm a rockstar. The problem with being a rockstar is that when you wake up that late, it is basically already time to figure out dinner.

Cara and I met a friend for fondue at this awesome place in Montmartre where the menu has two options and they serve your wine in baby bottles. It was awesome. I absolutely adore this place. We decided to go somewhere else for dessert, stayed until after the metro closed and failed at getting a cab. This ended up meaning getting home at 4 after finding and riding the night bus. Rockstars.

Slept in again (sorry I'm not sorry host family) and spent today searching the many streets of Paris for Dr. Pepper. Now I have to do homework because even rockstars have tests monday morning.
