1. date a bartender or waiter, or be friends with someone who's dating one, or just go out with cute flirty girls. you will get free drinks.
2. clothes dryers are SO convenient (because you can wake up and realize you have no clean clothes, and just be like, hey let's hang out 2 hours later I need to do laundry, instead of like, hey let's hang out 24 hours later or in our pajamas/birthday suits bc I need to do laundry), but it is nice not to have to re-break in your clothes every time you wash them.
3. it's not that hard to turn off the shower except when rinsing, and once you get used to it you will feel profoundly guilty every time you don't.
4. avoid trying to replicate american idioms in french. it gets awkward. (see the last section of this post)
5. everything is better with sesame seeds, including nutella paninis and spaghetti. just sayin'.
6. you can speak authentic french indefinitely without actually saying anything:
7. sometimes when a creepy guy asks if you and your (girl) friend are a couple, it's not a bad idea to say yes.
8. i am probably not the next adele. or beyonce. however, that is measured in terms of talent, not in terms of how much heart i put into feeling the music. if that were the contest, i would win.
9. the french make pretty tasteless french fries. (the greeks, on the other hand, know what's up!)
10. dancing is best when done on tables and when you have lots of feelings, and when you know the words if there are any. (but we knew that one already!)
I'm home now, and I have a few more posts coming, things I meant to write about but never got around to but are so hilarious or significant I feel it would be a grave disservice to deprive you all of these stories. Also I had big adventures on my way home including a surprise stay in Iceland. Stay tuned, THERE'S MOAR! (potentially including some fahncy media stuff like PHOTOS, VIDEOS, and a special surprise really wonderful thing! AH PROMIZ!)
love from Seattle at last,
Clarebear
