Le Chocolat Makes the World Go Round

I am proud to present my successful blog #3 on the 3rd consecutive day following its creation. I am unbelievably proud of myself for maintaining this, thus far.
Today was certainly an unexpected whirlwind of sudden exhaustion. Because of this unfortunate occurrence, I was forced to miss my writing class early this morning. Fortunately, my friends came to save me from my dark cave of a room to have an outing to a local frequented Thai restaurant. It was a ridiculously beautiful day, and it was certainly well needed.
With a warm greeting from the familiar waiter, comforting friends, and a delectable lunch, my mood was certainly softened. My meal, as usual, consisted of an appetizer of 'nems,' which are similar to spring rolls found in most Asian restaurants, meant to be wrapped in a lettuce leaf, mint leaves, and carrots and dipped in a sweet, ginger sauce. The main plate was the restaurant's special rice, which is cooked in special herbs and seasoning and mixed with grilled shrimp and chicken. I am certain to add mounds of the table's spicy curry sauce to give it that extra kick.
Afterward, we all went our separate ways, and I tried to think of which step to take next. In the course of a bit of pondering, I thought, when in doubt, travel to the bookstore. So, I did just that. A few hours of this day was spent up and down aisles of language resources and the travel section. If you remember correctly, as posted earlier, I have an Italian get-away to plan for April! Each books' pages led me to be engulfed by the most beautiful pictures of art, museums, castles, vineyards, and coastal scenery imaginable. I can't even begin to perceive what it shall look like in front of my very eyes. I imagine bliss; just calm, peaceful, serene bliss.
To seal the day, as I waited for the tram, which is this town's version of an above-ground "Meet the Jetsons"-like metro, I purchased, from a nearby deli-vendor, a piece of "pain au chocolat," which is, in simpler terms, a flaky croissant stuffed with melted chocolate on the inside. It is too fantastic for words, and it, without question, truly made the day complete. I'm so unbelievably ecstatic to be a member of a society where one follows the philosophy, "A choc-full of sugar makes the medicine go down in the most delightful way."
Agreed.
Au revoir, tout le monde! :)
