Day 25, the day of Wagner

If I ever again get the idea to buy a standing ticket for a five hour opera, somebody, please slap me. Parsifal was ok, I don't think I am a fan of Richard Wagner though. It was an 8 hour expedition, by the time, I had waited in line for almost 2 hours to buy the tickets, and then wait for the show to start. But it is neat to say I was at the premiere. I wonder if the president was there. Hmm.
I did meet some a couple of american guys who are living here, and are really nice. But I was all shy and didn't give them my contact info. I did however meet an american girl, who will be studying in London, and we exchanged contact information if we should we find ourselves in each others cities. Her name is Yvonne, and she attends NYU, and no she has never seen the Olsen twins. (Come on now I had to ask!)I lost my sheet of paper with all my phone numbers on it, luckily I had most of them copied down somewhere else, but I lost the number of the Perriers(The family who invited me to come visit them in the south of France). That sucks, but their son has my e-mail so hopefully he will contact me.
I think I might go to to the opera again tonight with Lisa, but I am not sure. We are thinking of going to see Don Giovanni. I can't believe I have already been here four weeks. It's going by fast, but at the same time, I feel like I have been here forever. Doesn't make sense I know, but what can you do?
My friend Josee, is so lucky, because she is going to Africa for 20 days in April to teach, as part of her program. Lucky girl. Africa is the next continent I want to go to. My friend Val was supposed to leave for S. Korea on monday to go teach english for a year, but I haven't heard anything, she was still doing her paperwork, etc.
I have not heard from my Turkish would be suitor, but it does not make sense to get involved know anyways, am leaving for France in a week. Can't wait. Really starting to get excited about it.
I have to make an appointment with Helga's friend for my medical certificate.
Oh almost forgot got a great italian leather purse yesterday for 7€. I needed a new black bag, and this one is really nice.
