How to lose friends and alienate people....TD syle.

Day 35...

We had some glorious sunshine in Paris today. Which was fantastic as we've been freezing our butts off this past month. Spring in Paris should be awesome. I can't wait!

Yet another test today. Fashion Communications. I do find this subject quite interesting as it deals with fashion media and how it's evolved over the years.I find it intriguing how fashion has always been used to reflect the times. It also helps when the teacher is a former editor of Marie Claire. Hehe. I should do well in this one :o)
Next up, a group presentation on Alexander McQueen - which strangely enough, we started working on a few weeks back. So imagine our shock when we found out our subject matter (whom we now feel we know in a strange kinda way) was dead. The strangest part was having to change every present tense to past tense. Surreal.

After the hectic past couple of weeks that we've had, it was decided that the whole class ought to go out for dinner. Lovely idea as I need to make ammends for the last time we went out. Which was a total disaster!
Now, I am a really warm, friendly person. Really, I am! Once I get to know you. Lol. But something just takes over when I am placed in unfamiliar surroundings. I just turn into this 'Ice Maiden' type person. And that was exactly what happened this night in question. We went to this nightclub (forget what it was called but it was by Temple Metro station.) It was filled with people jumping and screaming to techno/dance music. Making an already difficult night even more unbearable. The definition of a good night out for me is some good food with some light conversation. And to top it all off,the whole night cost me 40euros!!! Tried to crack a smile or two but I just couldn't shake off my discomfort.
Spoke to my mate about it who rather wisely told me to snap out of it. "Tos, you can't go around acting like that!" He said. "You've got to be more open minded. At the end of the day, you'll be better for it." I have taken on board what he said and I hate to admit it but dude does have a point.
Afterall, one of my main reasons for moving to belle Paris was to get out of my comfort zone.So tomorrow, I'm gonna go let my hair down. Wooohooo!!!
OK, maybe not totally. I'll just let down a few strands to start with. Rome wasn't built in a day you know?!

Bisou!
