My New Bike

My Favorite Things #16/365

This fall, I will be moving to Provo to attend BYU. I chose the cheapest on-campus housing, Wyview Park apartments. The only downside about this choice is that it is the farthest on-campus housing. It isn't terribly far, just over a mile away, but I didn't want to walk that everyday. So my mom bought me a bike!

I haven't been able to ride it yet, but I will soon. I love it. It is designed for women. The handles are made especially for women and the bar which is usually straight across is curved down quite low. So I could even wear a skirt while riding it; I don't know that I will, but I could :). I love the color. It is a bright blue; very pretty. I'm excited to become acquainted with my bike this summer so I'll be ready to ride it every day in the fall!

Ah! What a nice bike! I need a new one, since mine was stolen last summer! Hopefully we can find a decent one, and this time I'll keep it locked all the time!

Looks awesome! Bikes are so wonderful! Sean started riding his bike to work. They are doing road construction on Hitt road and they have the whole road blocked off. That is the road Sean would use to drive to work. Now if he wants to drive to work it would take 15-20 minutes when it used to take 5. Anyway... Sean says he will still ride his bike even after the road is finished.

Anyway... I really need to be out on my bike more!

Day 21 - Class, Louvre, FHE

Class was good today. I had French 102 and Religion. Not bad. After that, I headed to the Louvre with Haley and Chelsea. I didn't bring my SLR with me because it wouldn't fit, so I took my point and shoot. Wow. What a difference. I knew I loved my SLR, but not I really love my SLR! I didn't take any good pictures, but I'll tell you that I did see Charles I Dismounted by Van Dyck. That was pretty exciting. I love to see paintings that I recognize. After we chilled at the Louvre for a while, we headed out (well, we lost Chelsea and found Richard) to the Ricks' place. We were a little early so we went to see the Eiffel Tower. We saw it all lit up. It was pretty awesome. Then off to the Ricks'. We played a charade-type game for FHE and it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself. And I was able to use their super fast internet to update my blog. So it all worked out well and it was a good night! PS Thanks to those of you who have been able to post comments. I reall

Day 54 - Dernier Jour

Last day in Paris! I can't believe it. I'm sure gonna miss this place. Ali, Shamra, Mckell, Claire and I headed out to the city this morning. First stop was the Opera house. I finally got to see the inside this time! Beautiful. We had some fun :) Then we went to Berko's, the wonderful cheesecake place. It wasn't open and it was 11:35. We thought they wouldn't open until 12 but as we were sitting there waiting, they opened the doors! Yay! I got creme brulee cheesecake. Oh it was divine. This is one of the things I will miss most about Paris! Love it. Then Claire and I went to the Jewish museum. It was pretty interesting. I couldn't take many pictures. Then off to the Promenade Plantee. It was a really beautiful walk. I like this flower. It's weird. Then we walked back to the metro. It was quite a long walk so we were very tired! We went to the Louvre for a little internet time. Afterward, we went to Laudree to get a present for Greg and Martha. Then back to t

Day 57 - Thrift Shopping Success

Image
Classes were good today. We got our tests back in French. I am really happy with my score! Yay :) Then in Music, we talked about Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps . It is very interesting. Look it up on YouTube, if you have the time. It is considered a ballet, but it is very different than usual ballets. Après ca, a few of us went thrift shopping. I found an awesome dress! I am really happy with it. When I first saw it, I didn't like it very much. But when I tried it on, I loved it! I wish my host mom was here so she could wash it for me (she does our laundry), but I guess I'll have to figure something else out. I'm excited to wear it! After we thrift-shopped ourselves out, we got some absolutely wonderful gelato. It was so good and it didn't even make my stomach hurt! Hoorah! A demain :D
