Rose: Today I’m going home. Thorn: Today I’m leaving Paris. xx Isabel
Rose: Today I’m going home. Thorn: Today I’m leaving Paris. xx Isabel
Rose: The fact that I feel ready to leave. Also that Liz and I finally found blanket scarves. Also Friday night. The whole evening I was just thinking to myself, wow, I love these people. Thorn: My sociology class still isn’t sorted out, so even though it’s technically the end of the semester and I’m leaving the … More 99. r|t: week seventeen.
Rose: The weekend, in general. It was so productive and fun. Thorn: More school stress… xx Isabel
There’s simply no way I can choose one rose and one thorn this week – too many things of note. Rose(s): First, I’m done with my geography class so now there’s no point stressing over it since I won’t even know my grade for at least a month. Second, Strasbourg – I love the city itself. … More 95. r|t: week 15.
Rose: Okay this is truly a tie between cooking Thanksgiving dinner on Friday and visiting Reims today. Thorn: Sarah was supposed to visit this weekend, but ended up canceling her trip because of safety concerns, especially because this weekend is the COP 21 climate conference. Understandable, but sad. xx Isabel
Again, very belated with my rose/thorn post. Rose: I managed to find more time than usual to go to the gym, which put me in a good mood all week. Thorn: I finally am at that point in the semester where I have SO much work, not leaving too much time for other things. xx Isabel
Very belated post about last week. I guess the rose and thorn were just so obvious to me that I didn’t even think they needed to be written down. More on both of these things later… Rose: Dad visited! Thorn: The terror attacks in Paris on Friday November 13. xx Isabel
Rose: Sunday, when I went to the dressage spectacle at the Versailles stables with Lucy and her parents. Thorn: Tuesday.
I did a rose/thorn post for each place I visited over fall break, but here is the specific rose/thorn for the entire week, plus a broader rose/thorn about traveling. Specific (these ones are easy) Rose: Top of the Duomo still holds up. Thorn: The Razzmatazz failure on Saturday night once again takes the cake. Broad … More 79. r|t: week ten + fall break.
Rose: Sagrada Familia. It was one of the most incredible places I’ve ever been. Thorn: Razzmatazz. The club oversold tickets to the concert on Saturday night. So I’m our $20 and didn’t get to actually celebrate Halloween. xx Isabel
