i can't believe it's already friday. i mean, i totally can i just think this week was easier for me to get through...probably because i knew i would be going home TOMORROW =D
it was a good week, nonetheless. tuesday was for class and recuperating from nice and wednesday i went to the pompidou centre with sonia and carley! it was so fantastic. i haven't been there in quite a few years and it just reminded me how much i love modern art. everyone in my program thought i was crazy for not going to places like the louvre and orsay but i honestly just wanted to see more modern things. l'orangerie is pretty with monet's water lilies, but i did that last time i was here. anyway! i got some cool photos of my favorite artwork. the entire 4th floor was all female artists so there were a lot of controversial pieces and feminist pieces that i thought were really interesting.
there was also an outdoor exhibit like, on the building. there were all these shacks built outside. jodi told me that her teacher said it was to show that your house represents your social class but a house isn't as stable as you think it is no matter what...or something? hmm. maybe i should find more information about that before writing it on here...
yesterday after class i wandered around trying to find souvenirs for some of my friends, but the truth is nothing is worth spending money on. i just feel like some things are SO tacky like berets that say i love paris on them. like really!? no. sooo today i went and looked again and just got some small things. last night after dinner...
(carley and jodi and i went to fondue!)
...a bunch of us went to the eiffel tower for a picnic!! and by picnic i mean with just wine. a looot of wine. i, of course, brought my own bottle and drank it in its entirety (hey, mom and dad).
it was really fun, though and now if i don't get to go out tonight because people are tired/broke (including myself) i won't feel so badly. we have a farewell dinner tonight and then who knows what! i leave in the morning for CDG and i get into ny in the afternoon. i will of course be dining at the cheesecake factory for my first meal back in the states. YES. okay, enough. next time i write it'll be from my house! au revoir =]
