(example Lyon picture)
woke up at 6am when my mom knocked
oops.exe
should’ve gotten up earlier ahahaha
me and my cousin got everything together in 10 min
then again we kinda packed the day before
got to train station, ate mcdonald’s for breakfast
didn’t eat a salad fast enough, had to drag coffee with me throughout the station
can say with confidence that I only spilled once
slept on train and wrote some stuff
we stopped in Lyon
had a last minute change in itinerary so relatives were working out
ate lunch
their mac and cheese is… low-key disgusting, they put in this weird mixture of cheeses that made it taste nauseous
chilled for our room key
went out to explore the town
started raining a bit but it was tolerable
lots of small stores
lavender and honey
ice cream
lots of ice cream
highlight was a little kitty cat that was super soft and cuddly
then we went up the tram
view was eh
cathedral was eh
played a little baton with the umbrella
went back down
went shopping with my mom and a relative
unfortunately all the stores closed at 7pm
some were open tho
first one we went to was a men’s warehouse
before looking at french bags
longchamp bags are the champ
clothes in france are hella expensive tho
walked around a little more before heading back
sister threw a fit cuz rooming arrangements changed
went to dinner
we didn’t like the room they gave us since it was a funny smell
and the waiter was rude af
we thought it was discrimination and
i didn’t think much of it at first but then
after more thoughts, i realized that this is very possibly gonna be a thing and that we would deal with it more often
unfortunate
at least food was good tho
went to get groceries before heading back to the hotel
- finished the hunting grounds
scared and pissed off
scared because in university/umich internship
im gonna be by myself
i am paranoid
but am i paranoid enough about my friends that i make there
because most of the sexual assaults come from people you know
also i can get too distracted
u g h
pissed off because colleges value sports wayyy too much
currently at Westlake high school
our football coach makes about ~$120k
my mom, an engineer whose worked for decades, makes less than that
and a teacher who has had about 30 years of experience make half of that
so my teachers that I interact with every day and give me confidence and honest feedback and time and energy and just everything
get less benefits than a person that directs boys to eat, move, and UGH
IM SO PISSED
