Woke up, had breakfast I dooo love the jam here its one thing I already miss and my dear sweet baguettes, I STARTED MY COUNTDOWN TODAY at 10!! Holy weirdness.
Class full of grammar and I’m soo apprehensive about Friday’s test OIY VAY but we’ll see. After class, grabbed my friend and we walked to the metro. Went to her apartment where she live w/ her parents who live in Paris and she changed her shoes and I got a sandwich and a viennoise I think it’s called? It’s like brioche and chocolate and it looks like a baguette. I am starting to eat better b/c I am missing the food here already too, even though I cannot wait for my mom’s cooking again!
Hopped the metro, went to THE LOUVRE the one and the only…until 2013 when one gets built in Morocco but…THE ONE AND ONLY IN PARIS!! It was amazing, and we hit all the big things, The Winged Victory, The Mona Lisa, The Venus de Milo, les Esclaves, Napoleon the third’s throne and apartment, the painting of Napoleon the emperor’s coronation, some other Da Vinci works and Fragonard and Delacroix, the gardens where Catherine Medici roamed, heard fabulous history b/c my friend studied art history and it was all beautiful beautiful beautiful. I was thrilled. We did about 3 hours there and we hit ¾ parts of the Louvre and went to almost every room possible. The fourth part is mostly Egyptian and middle ages stuff so I was fine to miss it. We left, had a quick sandwich in La Jardin de Tuileries overlooking the Louvre and an ice cream and then I rushed home on the metro, changed in less than 5 minutes, hopped on the metro and went to la Theatre de la Main D’Or, our packet thing said we had to be at the theatre at 6 45 and I got there at 7, but ISA sent out an email saying we didn’t neeed to be there till 7 30 but I didn’t check my email that day so there was confusion but oh well.
Then, half hour later, I watched How to become Parisien in one hour, a one-man show, the only one man show in Paris and it was in English with all of ISA and HILARIOUS, he made fun of all backgrounds especially American vs. Parisien and he of course asked for volunteers and I of course did so I got up and learned how to dance in a nightclub like a Parisien in front of about 200 people, awesome. You pucker your lips like a half-brained duck, sway your hips seductively and then smile at a man a little to say come near haha, sooo funny. It was a blast.
After that, another friend and I went to a small café, had croque monsieurs and salads that were amazing and each a glass of wine, it was the perfect night. And, like true Parisiens, we talked about everything everything everything. It was so fun, except for now I have an itchy throat sorta b/c we sat next to chain smokers of course we are in Paris.
Took a metro home and am off to do hmwk now! Had a great day!
