Bonjour! Today was just like any other day with the typical class schedule. However, French class was much more exciting today because the actual teacher was here as opposed to the substitute which made for a much smoother class. She is so sweet and I did not feel dumb for asking any questions. After class, we all got ready and headed in to Paris with a group of about twenty of us! It was so much fun and I saw the Notre-Dame. It was absolutely beautiful. The gar...

Erin nicely threw me out of bed around 8am and we headed to the breakfast buffet...French style of course.

So, we just sat and waited ...

Today was the first day in Paris and needless to say, I already decided I want to have a second house here one day. It really is the City of Love because the second I stepped off the metro, I loved evert second of it. It is a lot like Georgetown on mega steroids.
