Day 15 - Classes, Zara, and Not-so-Simply Market

After much contemplation, I have decided to switch from 201 to 102. Though it would be great to get the 201 credit that I need for my major, I don't want to stress myself out a ton to get it. You know? Anyway, so I will let you know tomorrow how the class goes.

After classes, a few of us (Shaina, Hanna, Courtney, and I) headed over to Zara. It is like a department stores with low prices. I browsed over the clearance/soldes rack and found some pretty cool stuff.
I have been wanting a feather headband for forever. Finally I found one for a good price! So now I have an awesome headband and I got it from Paris :)
They had many cute skirts there but I limited myself to one. I really like it and it has side pockets. I adore skirts with pockets. Seriously.Then I found these cardigans on the double clearance rack. I love them!It is really hard for me to take pictures of myself, so this is the best I have. I really like this cardigan. I didn't take a picture of the other one, but I am actually wearing it right now (I know what you are thinking. Why doesn't she just take a pic, download it, and put it on? Well, with my internet being so picky, I'm just going to go with the pictures I've already dumped in my computer. I want to utilize the internet while I can).

After that, we all went our separate ways home. When I got to Boulogne (that's where I live), I went to the local grocery store, Simply Market, to grab some food. This was the third time I'd gone there. The first time, a security guy accused Rosalie of stealing. The second time, an employee treated me like an idiot. This time, the security guy that accused Rosalie followed me around the store. So both Rosalie and I have decided to walk a little further to the larger grocery store in town. I do not want to go back to Simply Market.

More tomorrow :)

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

Day 57 - Thrift Shopping Success

Image
Classes were good today. We got our tests back in French. I am really happy with my score! Yay :) Then in Music, we talked about Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps . It is very interesting. Look it up on YouTube, if you have the time. It is considered a ballet, but it is very different than usual ballets. Après ca, a few of us went thrift shopping. I found an awesome dress! I am really happy with it. When I first saw it, I didn't like it very much. But when I tried it on, I loved it! I wish my host mom was here so she could wash it for me (she does our laundry), but I guess I'll have to figure something else out. I'm excited to wear it! After we thrift-shopped ourselves out, we got some absolutely wonderful gelato. It was so good and it didn't even make my stomach hurt! Hoorah! A demain :D
