bonjour =] aside from my awful, awful 2 hour exam this morning, today was really quite swell. and i'm just happy that's over...oddly enough i think my oral portion wasn't too bad? i guess we'll see. i've never really had to worry about passing a class before (lie, calc and economics, fall '08...) so this is kind of stressful.
anyway! last night after a long day of class, jodi, carley and i ventured to the latin quarter for a super cheap meal. it wasn't super great, but it was fun and that's really all that matters. i then came home and got to study for 3 hours while everyone else went to club rex. fml. today was great, though. after my exam i had lunch - a baguette with brie and green apple - and then met up with heather for coffee! it was so great seeing her, and kind of weird at the same time because the last time we hung out it was only my 3rd day here...so i had different opinions on everything. when i got back to the dorm i did some laundry and then met up with stephanie and sammy to go get dinner/walk along the champs elysees. first was falafel:
so damn tasty. steph had a crepe (one of those with egg and cheese is next on my list) and then we hopped back on the metro for the champs elysees. we just went in some stores and got to see the arc de triomphe when we realized that all we wanted was gelato. and you'll be surprised to know that along that entire stupid street, there is no gelato. how? i have no idea. needless to say, we jumped BACK on the metro to the latin quarter AGAIN and came across the most amazing gelato in all of paris. or, the most amazing gelato i personally have come across in paris. i got coconut and this flavor called stipulos (aka biscuit aka cinnamon-y goodness). blew my mind.
aaand now i'm back. versailles tomorrow morning - leaving at 8:15. bright and early. hopefully a nap will be taken sometime in late afternoon so i can be refreshed for a night of going OUT. enough of this studying, it's summer. i do have an oral presentation monday, but i'm good at criticizing the french educational system, so i'm not worried. =]
bonsoir!
