Today Caiqian decided to sleep in rather than go to her Intensive French Course. Have no fear, the whole intensive course doesn’t count for anything towards her academic career. She has only been going to them at all solely for self-motivated educational purposes. She can sleep in once in a while.
She, however, does NOT have a place to stay on Tuesday night at the moment. She cannot reserve her current room with a wonderful new friend, Taryn, for Tuesday night due to hostel policies, so they would have to share rooms with strangers. Plus, she’s tired of bleeding Euros. She’s thinking of bumming a night off of a friend at her small studio (everything in Paris is small, especially when you’re used to Texas). It’ll only be one night. How bad could it be? She will make sure to feed the friend later (or realize that her friend isn’t as much of a glutton as she is, and purchase her some wine instead).
BUT: This is all perfectly fine. She’s perfectly content with Parisian life. (Even if even after she moves into her permanent studio, she still has to go down a floor to use a shared bathroom.)
BECAUSE: Yesterday Caiqian had the most DELECTABLE crème brulée in her life! Finally she has found the reason for being in Paris. She’d do this whole thing over again – puking OJ, living in hostels, being around mean French people – all for a little bowl of heaven.
