A weekend of Nothing

I spent my weekend doing absolutely nothing which is not surprising to those who know me and know that I never do anything. I was so bored that it put me into a really bad mood for awhile, but I am coming out of it now. I can't think of anything to do really so that's why I don't do anything. It was just Renee and I because everyone else was in Dublin having a grand old time but it was just a lot of money to go and I don't have that kind of money right now. Oh well. I am kind of saving it all for after the program. I really should go somewhere in France though soon before I go absolutely crazy sitting around Montpellier. Its not really all that big of a place so once you walk around for 3 weekends in a row, you kind of run out of places to go. But I did make enchiladas using an Old El Paso kit and then some homemade chocolate chip cookies though apparently though don't have brown sugar in France and baking soda is something people do NOT even imagine cooking with. Renees host dad really though we were strange for wanting to find it. He told us to go to the pharmacy haha. They have Old El Paso, but not brown sugar. Who knows. I just need to be better at finding things to do with my time. I don't know. If you aren't going to out to eat or out to the bar, it's a little more difficult to find things to do really. Oh well. This weekend Renee's cousin is coming so that will be something and then next weekend is Barcelona, and then the next weekend Jake will be here, so at least I will be able to find things to do soon. Well that's really all I have to say. Very exciting I know!

Hey Em...a thought, I wonder if there is some way you could mentor or tutor English to any elementary school age kid/s? Maybe connect with the primary school somehow and offer to volunteer..!! I think you would be good at it and it could be rewarding as well...a though :)
