Bon soir! Comment ca va? Everything is going very well here. I can't wait for Katy to get here... she's gonna just LOVE it! Starting with where I left off...
On Monday, we as always had class in the morning. We had a free afternoon, though, with no planned excursion. Everyone in the lower level French class had a test on Tuesday so none of them really wanted to go out. They needed to study. Katie, Jamie, and I went to out little Irish Pub in St. Michel. It's so ironic that just as we're totally getting the hang of this place, we have to say goodbye. Well, I have one more week :). We have our usual spots, our well-known meeting spots for everyone in our group to meet before we go out. I didn't think that I would feel this way when I got on that plane, but I know it's going to be kinda weird adjusting back into my normal life. I've gotten really used to the way things are here. I really like being an American in Paris. It's pretty fun- no, it's alot of fun. Ok, moving on..
Tuesday, class AGAIN, then we had an excursion to Les Invalides. It's where Napoleon Bonaparte is buried. It was really big and beautiful. It's crazy that so much huss and fuss was made over such a small little man. He did such great things for France, though, so it was appropriate to honor him in that way.
After Les Invalides, we went home and did our homework. Tuesday nights are college night at The Frog & Princess and the French soccer game was on. We knew we wanted to go out for that so we ate dinner and headed out. We had so much fun at the Frog. We went to Tennessee Jazz Bar afterwards. This girl, Lindsey, turned 25 at midnight so we (very Americanly) sang her Happy Birthday.
This morning we got up and went to class and went for Chinese food after. We had an excursion at the Centre Pompidou this afternoon. It's the museum for modern art in Paris. Ok, some of this stuff was retarded. Literally, there were things like canvases painted completely solid navy blue. They hung it on a wall and called it art. WTF? I wish I could do that, put in a museum, and get paid for it... jeez. There were some pieces that I appreciated, though, like Matisse & Picasso. The building was really neat, though.
After the museum, we came back to the apartment to do our homework for tomorrow. That's what we're doing now. We actually have to present a 10 minute expose on Friday about something that we've discovered in Paris. IN FRENCH! Yeah, can't wait for that. No, I'm kidding, I think it'll be fine. I've actually gotten ALOT better at speaking while I've been here. Sorry this one was a little short but I gotta work on this presentation. I'll post again soon! I love you all! Bon Journee!
