This France trip wasn't a very good idea. There were a few minor technicalities I forgot to account for. I have absolutely no money. The money I "borrowed" from the bank only covered my plane tickets. But I'll be fine. I'll sleep on the street for tonight. Just knowing that Enjolras is near will keep me warm. Now, there's an even bigger problem. I can't speak French.

At first, I spoke to a few people. I added an o to the end of every word. I said "I-o come-o from-o America-o". They looked at me like I was insane. Then, I remembered. To speak Spanish you need to add an o to every word. I had my languages confused.

It's getting late, and I should go to sleep. The cold streets of Paris shouldn't be very hard to brave. Eponine survived the streets. According to the people and Enjolras was in love with Eponine. This will only make me more attractive to my beloved!

Hopefully I won't be raped or murdered. I sound a lot like Tom now. I must be going crazy. The streets will be fine. If they aren't, I'm sure Enjolras will save me. Right?

Later

Enjolras hasn't come. I'm starting to wonder if he made a wrong turn onto another street.

A Little Later

Still no Enjolras. Doesn't he realize that he needs to save me? Is Enjy too busy sleeping with Grantaire to help me?

If he doesn't come here soon, I'm coming home. I'll just wire another ATM for another plane ticket. The only problem is all the ATMs here are in French. Why didn't I just pay attention to Madame Harkless and do well in French class? This is a very good time to start banging my head against the wall.
