I'd just like to point out that this is the shortest amount of time between two of my posts. You're welcome. And I almost named this post "Super Pictures" because of the super amount of pictures that I've included. I want comments! Make me feel popular!
But I still forgot most of what I did this week, so it'll be pretty vague. Classes were good, I spent a total of 5 euros for 4 notebooks, which I was pretty proud of.
At some point, I made fresh-squeezed orange juice and took a picture of it. I don't remember when but I just saw this on my camera as proof. It was probably delicious.
I went to a club on Wednesday for a school-sponsored party but there was nothing out of the ordinary so I'll move onto Thursday.
Thursday I had my Theater Workshop, O Romeo. Then I went to the metro stop to meet up with who? BOBBY who just came over from London and is visiting me until Monday. So we went back home for dinner and made "The Classic" (spaghetti). The rest of the night involved drinking at the Eiffel Tower, hitting on a bartender, and failing at getting into a club for free after waiting in line for an hour and realizing we were both tired and going back home to sleep. (in that order)
Which leads me to today. Today was the most eventful day of my trip this far, and my tired legs can attest to that. We decided that it was our duty as foreign students to take advantage of all the wealth of knowledge that Paris had to offer, so we hit up the museums. First we went to the famous (not really) "Musee D'Orsay". Nothing to tell.
Then we went to the Champs Elysees, the greatest street in the world. After looking around for a place to eat, we settled for a nice cafe and I bought my most expensive meal thus far (a whopping 6.90!). After eating our sandwiches, deserts, AND drinks (I practically feel like I'm STEALING!) (pictured below)
we walked up to the Arc de Triomphe, which was built this year as a tribute to the amazing French national soccer team. It was aight:
The people wouldn't understand that we wanted the Arc in the picture too, but you can just google it and pretend like it's there.
Then I bought a Barcelona soccer outfit for myself, as seen here:
and it was time for our next and final museum, The Louvre.
So we headed over, but not before taking some chique photos at the nearby Jardin de Tuileries (Garden of Tuileries). There were so many tuileries and I'm not sure what they wanted.
So on we went to the Louvre when this ridiculous double-rainbow came out of nowhere:
Then we went inside and I became a sphinx for a little bit, or whatever these things are called:
Then of course, the Mona Lisa. There she is:
On the way back home, we were stopped by the metro police (more like the metro secret agents) and checked for tickets. Throughout the day I'd been convincing Bobby he didn't have to buy tickets and that he should just jump the entrance, so in a way I was responsible for the 40 euro ticket they gave him. But it's all good because I bought dinner (4 euros for 2 pizzas, I feel like I'm STEALING AGAIN!). So we just ate those and are waiting to get tired to go to bed and start over tomorrow. That's all for now, folks! As the great David Hare (who?) said, "Weak minds sink under prosperity as well as adversity, but strong and deep ones have two high tides."
Think about it.
What?
