“Fucking nerd.”

“Nerd with good grades, though.”

“he is so adorable and he just makes everything better. it’s weird because when i first found out i was pregnant i thought my world was crashing down and that i would do nothing but resent him, but then i realized what a miracle he was and when he was born it’s like i fell in love for the very first time. that’s good someone took you under their wing, i wouldn’t be able to go to a country alone. i’d freak.”

“Yeah, I think any young woman would feel that way though. You’ve done remarkably for yourself - even if you don’t think you have. I honestly don’t know how you do it. It’s... freeing? I want to say - there’s no one you know to judge you or influence your decisions bar you. Although - was still clawed down by my university that I studied in while there.”

“i completely feel that im hoping it will all pay off in the end. he’s doing great, he just turned six months old so he’s growing up on me. i swear he just gets bigger and bigger every day. well, i sure hope you enjoy being home. i’m sure it was a little stressful being in a new country by yourself.”

“Aw, no way! He is such an adorable baby, you must be so proud to be his mom. Yeah, it is nice to be around family again, I missed my dads a lot. Stressful? Not really, I met some very incredibly kind people, they sort of took me under their wing and had the most amazing time together while I was over there.”

“i sure hope so. sometimes i wish i could just wake up and have my degree and a career, but that would be too easy. i wish i could book a spontaneous flight to paris, but the real life consumes me; with school, a job, a baby, i can’t just drop everything and go. it’s amazing how languages are, that there’s so many and it comes so naturally from every different person — it’s fascinating. i can see how you’d get homesick, i wouldn’t be able to stay away from my family for long either. maybe next time make it a family trip?”

“I think the hard work will make me appreciate what I have at the end, but until then I’ll continue to complain. Oh yes Imogen, your baby, how could I forget? How is Aidan? Growing faster by the minute, I’d imagine. I just think it was my time to come home at all, and I do think it’ll be my last trip to Paris for the time being, as much as I’d love to take my family over.”

“you’re right, i’ve never understood why we still have to work when we’re on a break. isn’t the whole point of a break is to yanno, take a break from work? guess not, according to the education system. i would love to go sometime in the future, the language is easy here when you’re around teachers and people who just know the language, but i can’t imagine being around natives who’ve spoke it their whole lives.”

“Alas, we’re doing it though and I suppose it’ll all be worthwhile in the end when we have our degrees. Just book some flights, fuck it with all honesty. It’s different I think, it doesn’t seem forced at all and just flows from their mouths. Obviously, that’s just being a native speaker though. I’m glad to be home though, my time spent there was lovely but I guess I got homesick.”

“that’s the plus side, any kind of vacation should take the stress of college assignments off of anyone. paris sounds amazing, i’ve never had the chance to go but i hope to one day. i’m a french minor so i’m hoping that i’ll be able to visit one day and put my second language to the test.”

“That’s what I’m thinking, college assignments over my break are a bit of a joke to be honest. `not much of a break then, is it? You’d love it for sure, I’ve been learning the language casually for a while but you can pick it up really quickly just by being around it so often.”

“that’s the best thing about college, being able to put off all of your work until the very last minute. well, that may not actually be the best thing or a good thing — but we all do it nonetheless. semester abroad though? that definitely sounds fun, where’d you go?”

“I mean, at least I enjoyed my vacation? What’s a week’s worth of stress compared to a whole load of fun? Trying to justify the amount of stress I’m going through right now. It was incredible, I spent the fall in Paris and it is definitely the most gorgeous city.”

“You’d think I’d of learned by now not to leave my Christmas work until the very last minute, but here I am - programming like mad. Exhausted and think my brain is slowly becoming a single variable: I blame myself though. However, I am very excited about getting back to college after a very interesting and eye opening semester abroad.”
