To start, I should inform you all that it was Reading Week. While most people packed their bags, got on planes, and travelled to warm destinations across the globe...I sat at home in my pj's.
Don't get me wrong, having a week off where I didn't have to get dressed once (which I didn't), brush my hair (which I didn't), or even shower (which I did have to do because I smelled) was wonderful. BUT, had any of my fantastic plans worked out, this week would have been much more...interesting. So, instead of telling you about what I actually did this week, I am going tell you guys about what I shoulda, coulda, woulda been doing:
Option (a): Paris, France.
Recently I have had this obsession with Paris. There is something so romantic about the idea of roaming the cobblestone streets, enjoying a cup of café at a local bistro, shopping at little boutiques and touristing the local attractions. I thought that a nice trip such as this for Reading Week would be a well deserved vacation from the real world, while broadening my culture, and the clothing selection in my closet. I could see myself now, strolling the Champs-Élysées from one end to the Arc de Triomphe, climbing the Tour de Eiffel, and eating baguettes at the corner bistro. Of course, I would have to visit the Notre Dame de Paris after learning so much about it in my French Culture class. My last stop would be the Louvre, where I would enjoying viewing the priceless paintings and artworks. A trip to remember.
Option (b): New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
I was thinking a lovely week laying on a beach with some friends. I love New Smyrna, and it is the only place in Florida that I will go willingly. There is something about its Beachy-charm and its relaxed atmosphere that I have always liked. Its quaint, relaxing and calming. I can picture myself laying pool-side with my Aristotle book in hand prepping for my upcoming exam. I would return to university refreshed and rejuvenated, and tanned. A trip to relive.
Option (c): Montreal, Canada.
A quick trip to Montreal. Clubs, bars, shopping. A girls night out, x 7days. A girls week out? Nights we can't remember, friendships we can't forget. Our days filled with shopping. Our nights filled with clubbing. Losing our voices, but gaining blisters on our feet. A trip to reminisce about.
So instead of one of those options, I sat at my computer, in the glow of cloudy skies, in my pajamas, writing this post. I hope you enjoyed your Reading Week! Leave me a comment about what you guys did so I can drool over your week.
