27 October 2012
I was ready to wake
up, get dressed, and pack up some snacks for a great day of hiking today. Well
I was ready. Until I woke up to…rain.
Rain and thunderstorms all around. I quickly threw myself out of bed, checked
on Facebook, and saw a plethora of "Yeah, not going to happen…"
comments from the friends I planned on hiking with today. Curse you, Grenoble
weather! I spent my sad little morning inside reading and doing some homework,
but I was not going to let the weather keep me inside my room all day. So I
called up Julie and Paige, and I met them at the Décitre Café, and together we
sat around some hot chocolate and did some homework. However, there ended up
being a book signing and question session
in the café that rendered homework and studying…well, impossible. So we
gathered all of our things together, jumped on a tram, and went over to the
girls' apartment to continue doing homework, and Julie busied herself with
making a delicious pasta with red, yellow, and green peppers. It was delicious!
I envy her talent in cuisine. She really inspires me to take up cooking
classes, or at least learn more about cooking at home. I would love to cook
delicious food like she does and invite guests over to my house and serve them
a delicious dinner. Oh my goodness, that would be my dream! Well, among other thousands of dreams, of course. After
enjoying such a delicious dinner, we spent yet another night around some cups
of coffee, this time chatting about our lives back at our respective schools,
what are friends are like, how much we miss them, and the plans we have once we
get back to school in the spring. We also jumped on Google and lucked up our
addresses and showed each other where we lived and our universities. It was
kind of cool to get a glimpse of where Paige and Julie go to school, where they
live while they go to school, and they seemed interested in my little taste of
DeKalb as well. While we chit-chatted, the weather outside only got colder and
deadlier with rainfall, so I grabbed my things and started walking back home, deciding
that was best before the weather got any worse. However, on my way back home, I
noticed that the rain was…strange. It felt different, it felt oddly cold and
thick. Was this…snow…?
