Day 58 - Worrisome tests

French was fine today. We are having a test next tuesday. I definitely do not feel prepared. We just took the chapter 10 test on Monday so we really haven't learned anything in chapter 11 yet! I hope all goes well... After that, I waited in the hall while the others were in 362. I was just reading through my textbook and napping a little. I also met Elder Smiley, from Orem, and a very strange Elder Smee (I think), from Scotland. It was interesting. Then we headed to the Louvre for art class. It was mostly just presentations from the class. She also talked to us about the final. At the time of our final, she will give us a painting. We have to find it (that's the part that worries me the most; the Louvre is huge!) and prepare a commentary in 15 minutes. Then we have to take up 10-15 minutes giving our commentary to her and the class. It really isn't that bad. It just makes me nervous because you really can't prepare. Also, I'm nervous, as I said, about having to find the painting. AH! I really wish I could stop worrying about things.

Then I headed home. I was able to talk to my mom, Melodie, and Chris on facebook. That was fun. Then I wrote my relgion paper. It ended up being 6.5 pages. Not bad. I also washed my dress from the thrift store. Oh my, it was gross. But now it is drying and I will be able to wear it on Sunday!

Bon week-end!

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
