Hello! Guess what I did on Monday! I went to Disneyland! I met up with Annie from my program and after a long and stressful delay of a) finding each other and b) buying RER metro tickets (my American credit card didn't work in the machine and otherwise I need $13 of coins, which I didn't have, so I had to go to a ticket counter a hundred miles away (practically) and Annie wasn't answering her phone so I didn't know where she was and if I needed to buy her t...

Bonjour! I wrote a nice long entry at the park yesterday, but the internet connection was down, so I couldn't post it. And then it poured all day today, so I couldn't go back to the park (alright, alright...technically I could have, but I would have gotten very wet.) to post it.

I liked them because they weren't statues of Greek gods and Roman emperors, but they also weren't crazy modern art, so t...

Bonjour! Time for another Paris update, I think. Wednesday was the philosophy midterm, as I mentioned. And then Thursday we had class again (I know! Two days in a row?!) except that out of 24 people on the program, only 11 people chose to attend our class on Proust. Which on the one hand, really makes me want to skip class and on the other hand, is rather frustrating because I'm sitting there in class and they are all being slackers. And they still have cl...
