Hello World, are you getting warmer? Science says you are and so do I!

It’s hot as a rotisserie chicken in my room right now, I am in a SAUNA. The windows are open the door is open I am a hot messss. It’s gross.

Anyway though I had a good day. Started out early and went to Musee Marmottan which has a abstract impressionism exhibit for a limited time and it’s MONET so I went. I am in LOVEEEEE with The Roses a painting by him…bought it as a poster and a cardboard thing, it was on sale!

Then we ate at a nice restaurant, I had a croquet monsieur, I LOVE THEM they are melted emmental cheese on bread with ham in the bread and they are a dream and I will melt cheese and burn bread when I return I bet haha. How does one MAKE them? I have no idea how to melt cheese on bread w/o getting the bread stiff. But twas delicious.

Then I haggled a little with some vendors for some stuff then we, me and 2 other girls, to musee l’orangerie which is in the middle of le jardin de tulieries which was stunningggg. And we got student discounts so we got into the museum for 1.50 euro! So excited to not pay 8 euro haha. L’Orangerie is famous for storing Monet’s Nympheas or Waterlilies. I almost cried if not for this small little woman standing in my way haha. But what was really cool was you were allowed to take pictures!!! I took a zilllllion. I love monet A LOT.

After that we wandered a bit in the garden then headed home early. I took a nap in my sauna and read the book my friend Claire loaned me for my trip. I like reading and just relaxing sometimes and the book is a good one! I’ll probably finish it tonight lol. I will have Hamlet to read on the plane ride home to chicago haha.

Had basically a slice of lunchmeat turkey for dinner while everyone else had blooodddy beef, gross-looking, and some cherries for dessert with cheese/bread. I do like my host mom’s cooking though. I met my newest roommate and she is super nice I’m really happy about it! We’ll get along great I think!

Tomorrow I leave at 6 40 for Mont St Michel aka Normandy. I’m not sure if I get to see the Dday stuff but hopefully so I can make my mom oooober jealous :)

Miss and love everyone!! I took a couple videos in L’Orangerie so I can have you all right there with me in awe so look for those later!! Not on my blog but maybe facebook or somewhere haha, I’ll upload my pictures one day!
