This Kappa just needs a Key!!

Hello all! I must admit I am writing this blog is a not so happy mood. Its not because I had a bad day, quite the contrary, actually, the day was perfect! We'll get to the "drama" in a sec, but first let me recap my day for you guys!

Woke up late this morning, but not late enough to really have a huge, dramatic impact on my day. (Just had to forego shaving my legs haha) Ate the usual breakfast: 2 pieces of toast with raspberry jam (absolutely obsessed...Mom, can you start buying raspberry jam for me?! Pretty please!!) and a thing of yogurt. We rode the metro to school, as always. I took my book, which made the ride much more pleasant! Classes were dull today. We had a quiz in Bratu's class, but it was easy. We tried out a new Bolongerie for lunch today. I ordered a "Mixte" sandwich. It had ham, mozzarella cheese, and tomato sauce -like stuff on it. It was probably the best sandwich I've had in Paris so far!! We ate our lunch at CUPA, because it was absolutely freezing and, of course, none of us were dressed properly. After lunch, we booked our hotel on the internet. We were all pumped because it has a pool, then we realized its probably wayyy too cold to swim. Bummer. It so doesn't even matter, though! We're going to have so much fun!

Our trip to the Louvre was today. My appreciation for the art lasted longer than I'd expected, honestly. The first few rooms I was really into the symbolism and meaning behind all the paintings. However, after about an hour and a half I was getting pretty bored. Lucky for me, so were the rest of my friends. We left earlier than the rest of our group, but we stayed for about 2-3 hours. It was cool. I think I appreciated it more this time which is good. I forgot how pretty the outside is! Wow!!

Alright that's pretty much my day....now for the bad mood and the title of today's blog:
As some of you may know, our family has given Sarah and me 1 key. Not 2, 1. 1 and only 1 key was given to us. No more, no less. ONE KEY! This means that we must share this key. I'm great at sharing, my kindergarden teacher taught me well. That being said, I happily agreed to let Sarah have the key for today when she asked this morning. My only request was that she call me when she got back home so she could let me in. I explained to her that my French cell is out of minutes and I could, therefore, not make any calls/send any texts. She said she'd call when she was on her way home. "Perfect!", I said. Fast forward to about 5:30 pm. I just got to my house after a very long day, my feet are in severe pain from all the walking. I know that Sarah must not be home, because I haven't received a call. I decide to ring the bell in hopes that my Monsieur or Madame will be home to let me in. No dice. "Its all good", I say to myself, "I'll walk to a nearby cafe and start studying for tomorrow's test while I wait for Sarah's call". Fast forward again to about 7 pm. Still no call. By this time I've finished all my readings for the test and have moved on to my novel. I realize that dinner is in exactly one hour, so Sarah is surely home by now. I recheck my phone, thinking I must not have heard it ring. No missed calls or texts. Perhaps Sarah is still out and about? No worries, I'm sure the family is home by now. I walk back to my house and ring the bell. Upon ringing the bell, I am let in by the Monsieur. He smiles and says, "Ah, you are so much later than Sarah. She's been here for about an hour now". "ABOUT AN HOUR!?!", I think to myself. I open the bedroom door, furious. What do I see when I walk in the room? What else but Sarah fast asleep on her bed. She looks so cozy and warm. I, on the other hand, look cold and miserable. My nose is red and running, my hair is a mess, and my dress is wrinkly. To say I am unhappy is an understatement. So, folks, now you see why this Kappa just needs a Key!

Sorry for that little rant, guys. This has just been the longest afternoon of my life. I've gotten accustomed to napping before dinner everyday. Her little stunt totally ruined that for me. So you see, I'm just grouchy because I haven't had my nap today!

Love you all!! Have a fab weekend!! Stay tuned for the next blog: The Prestonians travel to Brussels ;]
