Petit Update

Since I haven't been able to update my blog for a little while, I thought I'd give a little update, so all y'all know what is going on.

Currently, I am 'stranded' in Paris. I was supposed to fly out on Saturday, but the flight got canceled due to a volcano in Iceland spewing ash into the atmosphere. Cool. So I got a flight rescheduled for Tuesday. It looked promising, but then it got canceled too :( What that means is that I will not be able to come home. I will leave for Greece on Saturday, one way or another, to start the Art History Study Abroad. I will have an amazing two months and then, depending if the volcano has chilled out by that time, I will go home for good!

Just so you know :)

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...
