Day 76 - A very different Easter

Today was a pretty relaxed day. I worked on some french homework this morning. Then I figured out something wonderful. The family is on vacation, so I decided to go into the computer room, just to see if my computer would pick up the internet better if I was right by the router. Well, it does! So I was able to watch the first session of General Conference! It was wonderful. I know this Church is true. Seriously. I really liked M. Russell Ballard's talk, probably because I am a woman :) I also learned something really valuable from Sister Beck's talk. When she was speaking about revelation, I got disheartened, as I always do when people talk about revelation. The reason why is because I never have any burning questions about the Gospel so I don't feel like I ever get revelation. However, I learned from her talk that revelation can be peace. It doesn't have to be an answer to anything - just peace. This made me very happy. And of course, I love President Monson! He is a very funny man! What I like about him is that he is serious about the Gospel, but he is still human and he likes to joke around. I can tell he loves us all so dearly. When he speaks, I feel like he is talking to me, really wanting me to know that I am loved. It is wonderful!

During conference, I made a pizza. Well I put a frozen pizza in the oven haha Rosalie and I had it for lunch. It wasn't very good, but it was sustenance! Then after I finished conference, we headed to the Ricks' apartment for a little Easter party. Laura made great Mexican food! Mmm it was so yummy :) Then we had this incredible dessert. It was a brownie topped with a chocolate egg that had ice cream and caramel inside. It was so delicious! After chilling for a while and playing Uno with Max, I headed home. It is still a little chilly outside, but the weather is shaping up. Definitely much better than what Utah is experiencing right now! En tout cas, while at home, I wrote a paper for French. It actually went really well. It ended up being just over a page long when it only needed to be half of a page. Then I studied French for our test tomorrow!

In case you were wondering why there isn't anything for the past two days, let me tell you why. For some random reason, the pictures from my camera won't download onto my computer. Infuriating, I know. Because this is the case, I can't really do the updates for those two days because they would be mostly pictures. Make sense? So I will update those when I can figure out what the problem is!

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...
