Day 16 - Classes

Just classes today. French 102 is great. I feel really comfortable there because, let's face it, I'm not good at French and it is a basically beginner class. I'm really happy that I switched classes. Even though I'll have to take 201 in the fall. Then I sat in on French 362 (it is a history class) because I didn't really have anything else to do. It was pretty interesting. After that, we all headed to the Louvre for our art class. I was going to post some pictures that I took, but the computer isn't loading. I didn't take too many. But I saw a couple of paintings that I recognized. I love seeing paintings that I have studied in classes. I can't really describe the feeling, but I love it. After class, a lot of people went out to eat for Brooklyn's birthday. Since I was getting dinner with my family, I decided to just head home. I had zucchini soup followed by a crepe with an egg in it, then chocolate creme for dessert. I ate with just Marine because the Duchamps parents went out. It was fun to talk to her. When I said "often," she laughed a bit because she was surprised that I said it with the "t" sound. She said that in all the English classes that she has taken, she was told to say "often" without the t sound like "offen." I think that is so interesting because it isn't a rule or anything that we have. I've never even thought about it before. Anyway, sorry for no pictures. Hopefully my computer will start behaving soon.

Day 21 - Class, Louvre, FHE

Class was good today. I had French 102 and Religion. Not bad. After that, I headed to the Louvre with Haley and Chelsea. I didn't bring my SLR with me because it wouldn't fit, so I took my point and shoot. Wow. What a difference. I knew I loved my SLR, but not I really love my SLR! I didn't take any good pictures, but I'll tell you that I did see Charles I Dismounted by Van Dyck. That was pretty exciting. I love to see paintings that I recognize. After we chilled at the Louvre for a while, we headed out (well, we lost Chelsea and found Richard) to the Ricks' place. We were a little early so we went to see the Eiffel Tower. We saw it all lit up. It was pretty awesome. Then off to the Ricks'. We played a charade-type game for FHE and it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself. And I was able to use their super fast internet to update my blog. So it all worked out well and it was a good night! PS Thanks to those of you who have been able to post comments. I reall...

Day 54 - Dernier Jour

Last day in Paris! I can't believe it. I'm sure gonna miss this place. Ali, Shamra, Mckell, Claire and I headed out to the city this morning. First stop was the Opera house. I finally got to see the inside this time! Beautiful. We had some fun :) Then we went to Berko's, the wonderful cheesecake place. It wasn't open and it was 11:35. We thought they wouldn't open until 12 but as we were sitting there waiting, they opened the doors! Yay! I got creme brulee cheesecake. Oh it was divine. This is one of the things I will miss most about Paris! Love it. Then Claire and I went to the Jewish museum. It was pretty interesting. I couldn't take many pictures. Then off to the Promenade Plantee. It was a really beautiful walk. I like this flower. It's weird. Then we walked back to the metro. It was quite a long walk so we were very tired! We went to the Louvre for a little internet time. Afterward, we went to Laudree to get a present for Greg and Martha. Then back to t...
