Are the Rumors True or False? And Some Celebrity Tangents

1. I applied to stay for the entire year. TRUE (150%, believe me...but that's another story for another time)
2. I was accepted!! Also True. Then NYU told me I have to come home or I won't graduate in four years. So now I'm dreading my return. True. I wouldnt be able to come home if Ali wasn't coming with me, but she is, so looks like we'll return! Better beware!
3. It will be a triumphant return on many levels. Very. True. Indeed.
4. The French are currently vying for recognition and patrimonial awards (aka international copyright) by UNESCO for yep. You guessed it. Their gourmet meal. They really are that ridiculous.
5. In place of our likes, ums, and hmms while speaking, the French have chosen a variety of funny sounds.
TRUE
My conversation professor made us a list of options to choose from while speaking. They are as follows: Beh, Bah, Beh, Hein, Euh, Buh. DISCLAIMER: Please don't try these at home. Chances are, if you don't speak French, they will not sound the way they are supposed to (everyone knows the French don't pronounce most of their letters, even in 3-lettered words)

6. I re-dyed my hair the color I want it and am now officially a redhead! The best way I can describe it to you before pictures go on facebook is that its very similar to my favorite doctor on TV, Addison Montgomery (aka Kate Walsh). This is not how I chose the color, but in retrospect, I am very pleased with myself. To be honest, I needed to prove to myself that I have changed. Pathetic? Perhaps. But I prefer to call it boldly and obviously honest and comfortable with yourself. Actually, looking in the mirror now, this is pretty much almost identically colored. :)



Speaking of television, Layla has gotten me completely hooked on the TV series called Veronica Mars. It aired while I was a freshman in high school (i didn't realize how long ago that was....am I really going home to complete my junior year?) Its about a girl who works with her dad, a private investigator who used to be the sheriff, but he was outed when he accused "the wrong person" of a murder (of course, he's on to something and turns out to be the hero). No, its not a chick-flick series. No, its not stupid. Its surprisingly well done. Unpredictable plot (even I couldn't figure out! Which already makes it better than Inception) and very witty but suspenseful screenplay. Full of irony, cynicism, sarcasm, lots of fun.  Plenty of honest social commentary. Starring Kristen Bell, if you're interested.

Recently, far too often, Layla and I have been asking ourselves, "What would Veronica do???" She really is fabu


Tonight we all lay low...its been I while since I got to behave like a vegetable, and my body is paying for it dearly. I'm drowning in art history flash cards (yay!) so I essentially spent lots of time hanging with my best friends (don't judge....dead artists can make very good company and they never say anything back to you!)

I also had a lovely chat with Aunt Donna, who inspired me to return to blogging more frequently :)

Tomorrow my family is getting here so I am going to pick them up from the airport! Maybe if they're lucky, I'll bring some treats....
SO excited! Next blog will probably be by my sister, so keep reading for a different Pearson Post!
Bisous bisous!
