I think I have an unhealthy love affair
with Paris, or just France. Like, I could go there over and over and I don't know if I would get sick of it. A good friend and her H are there right now and I keep seeing pics on fb, it's killing me! I cry inside a little every time I see a new pic because I would give anything to drop everything and go right now. I seriously want to live there for a couple months someday. I have no idea how that would happen, but before I die it's going to.
Um, that is all.
Re: I think I have an unhealthy love affair
It's sad. I'm totally over Paris. But I really really really want to take FI to London. I just KNOW that he will love it.
I'm trying to convince him we need to move there.
same here! With all the science requirements (and me not liking the idea of taking more than 4 years) it would have been difficult. My sister ended up doing it though (and took 5 years partly due to that) and I'm totally jealous.

Ditto this too.
My parents wouldn't pay for studying abroad bc they thought it was going to be like sending me away for vacation. They told me that I could "vacation" after I get a real job. Too bad I can't escape work long enough to get a real vacation.
I studied abroad in Budapest and LOVVVVVED it. I actually did a theoretical math study abroad program (nerd alert). We went all over. Munich's probably my favorite European city, but I also love London. Loved Krakow, was not impressed with Prague, enjoyed Vienna and other parts of Austria.
I also lived in Germany when I was 11/12 (parents are scientists). And I've been back a bunch. Hence my like 6 visits to Paris.
I'm also not a huge fan of Italy.
We did Greece and Germany last year. I can't wait for my sister to study abroad so we can visit her in England, and then do Ireland and Scotland.
I know. H and I have been talking about taking a vacation next spring when he graduates (with what money, I don't know, lol), but I always feel guilty taking time off. Originally this was going to be a big trip with his parents (and maybe my family too) to Korea, but for some reason he isn't sure about that anymore. Oh wait, I'm going to make a new thread before I continue...

Me too. Even though I've never been...I just like the fact I'd be around a ton of Doctor Who stuff. I'm such a nerd...
my currently-reading shelf:
I mean, what's not to love. It's basically Seattle combined with NYC but with more history and they all speak in awesome accents.
a friend of mine studied in london for 4 years for her bachelors....she's almost 200k in SL debt, and with no job to show for it....i don't remember what she studied...business? but she's spent countless more dollars re-doing school here, etc... the SL's will haunt her for some time. i'm glad i never studied abroad.

We have a plan with some friends of ours to do a France trip once we have kids older than like 4. Rent a cottage somewhere out in Provence for a month or two, and then each couple can take like a couple days off to go explore parts of France on their own while the remaining parents stay behind to take care of the kids.
We dream big, thinking this will be possible with like 2+ kids each. XD
wow.. suuuuper jelly.
This. I rushed through college and law school and should've taken more time to travel and enjoy myself! I'm going to tell my kids that. I did do a HS trip to London, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, which was amazing, but it's not the same as living somewhere. And I dream of Italy! Pasta, espresso, gelatto...what's not to love?!?
I have an obscene amount of student loans, mostly from law school in DC. Studying abroad for a quarter wouldn't have made much difference! I would owe a lot less if I'd gone to UW...but then I wouldn't have met DH and lived in DC for 3 years...
