Do you think they will mind that we used their maids....A Parisian Circus...

...I'm like the ringleader...
Well, I am sitting in an empty institute...Just finished packing all of my stuff...I am going to spend my last day in Europe in Brussels tomorrow, hopefully getting some shopping done.
The past week has been insane....
Mattie arrive on Sunday and we went out to a club called You. Then we went to two other clubs, and ended up getting a hotel in Brussels. I can't even begin to describe how crazy of a night this was. We danced...we drank...we met an amazing couple and a Moroccan who took us around. It was by far the most outrageous night in Europe...We didn't go to bed until around 8:30am. The boys in Brussels are certainly living it up...And yes, we turned down the liquid ecstasy...
"Excuse me, m'am...We found your son's dead body in a gay bar in Brussels. You will need to come identify".
On Monday, we went out to the Clockouse and met our new best friend Gert-Jan, or Euheum, I am still not really sure. After another insane night out that last until 5:00, I woke up on Tuesday and finished my last two days of work at the European Parliament. Although Tuesday was dreadful (thank you Erin and your makeshift train schedule ;) ), Wednesday was probably the best. I got an amazing review from Renatka and I was able to write a written explanation of the EPP's vote on a report on Women in the Balkans. I had such a sad goodbye from my office. I really really did cherish the internship.
Thursday was so stressful...packing...writing papers...saying goodbye...It was all so rushed...But I love my girls on this trip, they were amazing. Erin, Megan, Joyce, Jess, and Eva...You guys really are the bomb...I will never forget our travels, our meals, or nights in Leuven, or mornings at work...Nothing...We truly lived and loved enough here in Leuven for a lifetime...
After Matt and I said our goodbyes and scrambled to make our Paris train...disaster...
