So I am officially twenty! As I'm sure you can all imagine, I'm now extraordinarily responsible and ridiculously well behaved.
Birthday weekend went like this:
Friday, woke up to the sound of the doorbell. It was Jess, back from Lyon for my birthday celebrations. Opened my pressies from Jess and Brooke, and Steph, which were all lovely. Then the three of us headed out to a little restaurant on Rue Montmartre for a birthday lunch. Arrived back, and Tess showed up with another gift! She couldn't make it that evening, so she dropped by for cake and chats. We did a bit of a clean of the house, then started getting ready for my party!
The party itself was fabulous. There were about 30 people there, we all got rather drunk and danced around in our dining room. We didn't make it out, so at about 4am I went on a hunt with a Canadian boy to try and find a bar that was open. We didn't have any luck, but we did climb a huge fountain that is in the middle of a big square near our place.
Saturday was evidently spent recovering, until about 6 when we headed up to Montmartre for Tess's celebrations (I don't know if I've already told you, my birthday is the 27th, Tess is the 28th). We had dinner at La Cave, a really cute restaurant around there, got rather drunk again and headed to a bar in Pigalle. Then we decided to go to Chez Moon, a rather fun club, but couldn't remember how to get there. So instead we got cabs to Madam, a club on Champs Elysees. It sadly wasn't my scene, nor Steph's. Luckily, it was 6.30 in the morning and the metro was open, so we jumped on the metro to Chatelet, walked down Rue Saint Denis, I got a kebab, and Steph got a baguette.
Sunday we were all pretty out of it (I apologise, Ash, for initially having no idea who you were when you called). Jess went to get groceries for breakfast, and came back with two apples, a tub of yoghurt, and a can of iced tea...
Anyway, once again spent the day recovering, until I got out of bed and headed down to The Thistle to use the internet, as I had a presentation due Monday which I hadn't started. Went back home, slept, went to meet Misa, Joe, two girls called Maddie and Fatima for trivia. Despite my poor efforts (although I did answer a couple of tricky questions) we actually won! So we have a bottle of alcohol of our choice waiting for us next Sunday.
Otherwise, not much happening. Yesterday I got hopelessly lost in the suburbs going to pick up our internet box, which we now have but the installation instructions are in french so we still don't have working! Went out for a couple of drinks with Eric last night, but am otherwise planning to have something of a detox and try to get on top of my uni work...
Speak to you all soon xo
