Day 49 - Deux FHEs

Today was a pretty great day. Classes were good. My religion presentation went well. I repeated a lot (the reason for this was because I was telling about the destitute situation of many of the Saints. They were starving to death and they had nothing; what else could I say??) and only half the class paid attention, but that was just fine with me! I really like Bro. Euvrard. He's an interesting and nice teacher. We also got our midterms back and I think everyone got A's! I'm glad he is understanding of how hard it is to do homework in Paris! :)

After class, some of us just chilled for a while and talked about a lot of random things. it was fun :) Then we headed to the Ricks' apartment for FHE. Nothing in particular to report. Dr Ricks told us some info about Normandy, which is this Thursday! I'm excited! Then we had some delicious dessert, a chocolate tart with ice cream. Yum. After that was done, Hanna and I went to the Young Single Adult FHE. Chelsea and Richard were also there. It was really cool! I'm definitely going to go again. We started out by talking a little with the people there. Then they had a spiritual thought/discussion. Even though it wasn't in English, I was really able to feel the Spirit as the members were sharing their ideas. It was awesome! After that, we mingled for a while. It was a lot of fun! I miss meeting new people. Not that I don't like the people in our group, but it is nice to see fresh faces :) More specifically, fresh guy faces... :D

Then back to my place for what else - homework! A demain.

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
