Day 56 - Class, Test, FHEs

Classes went well today. After religion, I took my French test. It went really well! I really like vocab because I'm good at memorizing information. I decided I am kind of like a sponge. I love to absorb information that I learn. It's what I've always done. However, instead of being able to turn it into useful things (like French sentences), I am just good at spitting it out the same way it came in. Though this isn't always the case, it fits me pretty well. Anyway.

After that, I went to FHE at the Ricks apartment. I gave the spiritual thought. I based it off of Alma 14:13. No matter what happens in our lives, we just need to keep going and we need to trust in the Lord. Even if something truly awful happens, we need to understand that there is still purpose in our lives because we have a Heavenly Father who loves us more than we can possibly imagine! After that, we had some delicious brownies with ice cream. Yum!

A few of us went to the young single adults FHE. It was good. One of the guys there, Jeremy, was kind enough to translate the lesson for me. I hope he didn't get too annoyed, but I am very grateful for it! The lesson was on friendship. We need to be a good friend and we need to seek out good friends. Then we just chilled for a while and talked. It was quite enjoyable!

That's it for the night; I better tuck in ;)

That is very nice of Jermey to translate for you.

Also that is a good spritual thought that you gave.

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
