Thats right folks

I will be in the states…

…

…

TOMORROW!

For good this time lol

So long story short my french mom tried to go H.A.M. on me the other day

I mean she went IN

Tried to say that all I do is complain or make excuses for myself

Strike 1

Actually no, strike 1 was when she bombarded me right when I was at the door to leave the house with THE stankiest attitude i had ever seen from her

Strike 2 was when she said I do nothing but complain or make excuses for myself

Now i gave her a pass because I understood why she was upset…

I accidentally woke her up the night before by talking on the phone

My bad

In my defense I thought she was still downstairs. I hadn’t realized she had gone to bed

But before I could even try to apologize she just kept going on and on

It was like she had waited all damn day to come at me with this shit

Like she dreamt about telling me off the night before lol

Strike 3 was when after she said all that I was like, “ok” and then she said,

“No, its not ok its YES”

…

Oh HEEEELLLLLLLL NAW!

Lady, who the FUCK do you think you’re talking to?

I have been wanting to leave your stupid house for the longest

The only reason I stayed here as long as I did in the first place was because you made it seem like you’d have nobody to watch your kids

I’m tired of your wack ass rules and the wack ass ways you run your family

And I’ll be damned if you’re gonna sit up here and talk to me like your MY mother???

Get thee the FUCK outta here!

So I packed all my shit and went to stay at my friends place

I booked my ticket and I will be home tomorrow

Sucks it had to end like this but hey,

c’est la vie

which txt book is this in??

i think i bought the wrong one lol

quite lonely lately

it sucks

ass

i just feel like no one here (in this house at least) understands me

im just the odd american girl

i would never go to my french parents with a problem that i have

the mom would try to be understanding but at the end of the day she wouldn’t get it

and the dad would swear up and down he understands (wen rly he has no clue) but then try to tell me what i was going thru wasn’t a big deal

really tho??

ok

then theres the girls…

who are 9 and 4

i can only go to them for so much lol

the friends i have here live so freakin far away from me

and the ones who are fashion majors are sooo busy with final projects

and i dont have any friends here that i would really go to with my problems (well i did but some of u kno how that turned out smh)

they don’t know me that well

they don’t know my life

and they don’t know how hard it is to be in my situation…

then theres my friends and family back home

the 6/7 hr time difference plus work schedules mixed with their own lives doesn’t exactly make it easy for me to talk to them

and living here just makes me feel like an outcast

i really do feel like im on another planet sometimes

and im constantly trying to hide some of my habits bcuz if i do them openly i will either:

• get stared at with wide eyes
• get questioned
• get told “idk how it works in the states but HERE…” 

-____-

I have several possible job prospects in the works and a shit ton to do when I go home so I decided it was best for me to go home earlier than I planned

Before I really didn’t want to because I felt like I would be a huge inconvenience to my host family…

But after several long nights of thinking and trying to figure out how I would make everything work when I got home I decided that 2 weeks wasn’t going to kill them

2 weeks would however make the difference between me having a job when I got back or not

And that my friends is well worth the feeling of somewhat disappointing someone…

And its not like me leaving early isn’t an inconvenience to me as well. 

For one I had to pay 500 bucks just to change my ticket -___-

But there are just too many things that i will be able to do when i get back early that would not be able to do had i decided to leave on June 30th as originally planned

And at the end of the day I need to do whats best for me…

I’ve been unhappy here for months as well

Living with this family has worn on me mentally and emotionally

Not to mention being away from everyone I love back home

Don’t get me wrong I’ve had many great experiences since I’ve been here:

• I made life long friends
• I got to go to several shows at fashion week
• I worked with a stylist
• And I even learned the language…kinda lol

I just feel like my time here is up

When I decided to come to Paris I did it to find myself

Figure out what I wanted out of life and where I wanted to be

I’ve done all that and more

But now its time for me to go…

Et c’est la vie

Thandie et moi

France’s first round of presidential elections are coming up on April 22nd, and three main candidates, two from the left and one from the right, are emerging as the frontrunners to to run against President Sarkozy.  Sarkozy is head of the Union pour un Mouvement Populaire (UMP), which is a right wing party.  But the woman I want to talk about is Marine Le Pen, head of the Front National, which is a far right wing party.  And when I say far right, I mean almost to the point of fascism.

First, let’s give a little background into the French election system.  On Sunday, April 22nd, citizens of France eighteen years of age or older will head to the polls to narrow the current field of ten candidates to one, to run against the incumbent president (Sarkozy).  Then on May 6th, the voters will elect the next president for a five year term.

One of the three main competitors against Sarkozy is Marine Le Pen.  It is important to note that like the U.S., France has never had a woman president (In 2007, Sarkozy ran against Ségolène Royal, and won by two million votes).

Marine Le Pen, however, should never be allowed anywhere near the Palais de l’Élysée, or the Presidency.

This is why this woman scares me:

• She is opposed to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), a part of the European Union which helps farmers by subsidizing crops and land, while creating a minimum price for goods sold.
• She wants to break apart from the European Union completely, and opposes the euro and the Treaty of Lisbon.
• She wants to put a moratorium on legal immigration (and illegal immigration - don’t even get her started)
• She wants to reinstate capital punishment in France
• She does not condone abortion, even in cases of rape or incest

• After the Toulouse shootings, even after her fellow right winger Sarkozy said not to make the shootings into a prejudiced hate speech against Islam, Le Pen said this: “We have underestimated, I think, the rise of radical Islam in our country.”
• She also said this: “It is time to wage war on these fundamentalist political religious groups who are killing our children.”

In a world where reason is needed, electing this woman President would inhibit our growth as a world, and destroy the fundamental bonds that hold our countries together.

On a side note, did you know that the President’s official vacation home is the coolest house ever?

That is the Fort de Brégançon, and I want to live there.

Keep your eyes wide, and your mind wider
