discotheques.

so i didn't post yesterday because i was actually enjoying my first night out in paris =] during the day i had a meeting for ISA and then I went for lunch/shopping with some other girls. i really like the people in this program and i have to say, it's kind of nice being around people that aren't from nyu (aside from my friends, of course. i miss you all, by the way). after that, i came back to my apartment to take a nap (i get so tired here for no reason...i should be used to walking all day) and then we got ready to go out at around 10. our plans got kind of screwed up because we all wanted to drink some wine on the champs elysees together and then head over to the club, buuuut it was raining. that kind of sucked, but i ended up just hanging out here with the roomies.

you can buy wine at like, corner stores here. it's awesome. anyway! the club was ridiculous...the entrance was on the side of the sidewalk that's more towards the cars and there was a stairway downstairs. it was student night or rather "f*ck school" night, if you will. we all ended up getting in for free, so that was cool, and then american boys bought us drinks. basically, all i spent money on was half a bottle of wine and the cab ride home. sweet deal. i can't wait to do it again.

today was productive, despite my lack of classes yet again. i woke up super early and went to the marais district to find that thrift store/have some ridiculously amazing falafel.

i ended up just getting the sweater i wanted and not the jean shorts...but i'm definitely gonna try and go again before i leave. they have good stuff. after that, i went to montmartre to meet jill and hillary. we walked all the way up to the sacre coeur and it was gorgeous.

we walked around town a bit, too, and then went all the way to the louvre so the girls could see the pyramids and le jardin tuilleries. as much as i hate the louvre, it's really gorgeous from the outside. we walked through the garden, saw the obelisk and then wandered around a bit.

we grabbed coffee and pain au chocolat before we split up and then i met jodi for dinner somewhere i've never been before (and to be honest, i have no idea what the name is). in conclusion, i'm absolutely exhausted from a ton of walking and little sleep...but it was totally worth it. tomorrow is normandy...we're waking up at 6:30, god help me. pumped! mkay, bye.
