ok so updating is time consuming and I'm pretty lazy. But here's a snippet of my journey from about 2 1/2 weeks ago.

It’s the night before I leave for Paris. I’ve shed a few stress tears because I’m so damn nervous. I feel like the instant I try to make it over there on my own I’m gonna screw things up so badly that I won’t be able to get there. I’m worried about the language, money, public transportation, money, being able to see Sam often, money, my classes and homework, money, getting a job, and oh yeah, money. Paris is the most expensive city in the world (wtf am I doing?!?)
But I know it’s worth it. I know I’ll have an amazing time and it’ll be the most fun I’ve ever had. I woke up this morning nauseous with stress and couldn’t stop hugging Sam goodbye. It was like a scene from a film noir at the train station. We kissed goodbye and I started to cry as the train doors shut and it chugged away from my love.
I recovered a bit on the train and have so far made it all the way to being on the Ferry. It’s enormous and I’m itching to explore it as it will be my home for the next hour and a half. However, I have an absurd amount of weighty luggage so it is out of the question.
I’ve been getting excited about performing in a Parisian club. I’ve written down the address, contact information, and nearest métro to each of the prospective clubs.
Ok, another side note break right now. This Ferry is probably the LOUDEST place I have ever been. Totally ridiculous.


Anyway. I had written that on a word document while I was traveling because I didn't have internet.

So Paris!

First of all, I really do love this city. It's astonishingly beautiful and there are a million things to see and do and experience. It's also offensively expensive. Luckily, I've got a job! (sort of). Tonight at 7 pm I go across the street to the Irish Pub known as the Green Balloon. I'm super excited and really nervous, but I have high hopes that I'll get this job. I start with just a trial run, then if they like me they'll hire me. The security of having an income is calling me.
I think I'll start posting a vlog because it's easier and I'll be able to express myself much better.
