What Does This Blog Contain?!

I'm going to miss you a lot! I thought a fun way to stay connected while I'm overseas, would be to start (and maintain) a blog! I am going to update it (hopefully frequently) with the goings-on of Paris, France! I will be in the city of lights from June 30th to August 6th. If you're interested in sneaking a peek at my adventures abroad, then please read!

Ok, You Caught Me...I Went and Saw Eclipse Again

Bonjour!
I had my culture class this morning in which we went to La Cemitiere Montparnasse and looked at a ton of graves with huge, ornate tombstones. Some of them are recent (in fact, we walked past a funeral), but some of them are from the late 1800s. It was neat to see all of the different styles and sizes but sad becuase some of the more recent ones had stuff like letters and flowers and stuffed animals set on top of them. My four hour literature class wass canceled today!! My teacher has a migraine :( but! I get the rest of the day off and I think I'm going to go hit up the centre commercial (the mall!). The one I am going to go to is called Les Halles and is 5 floors...underground! Cool, huh?!
So Sunday, after we got back from Berlin, I had a pooload of homeowork to do. I finished it, and then went to see Eclipse again!! I feel super lame, but I like the movie a lot! haha.
Yesterday I had my lit class and we started a new book called Yvain ou le Chevalier au Lion. It's a book about one of the knights of the round table. In Arthurian legend, Yvain is Guwain in English (I'm pretty sure). Then after class and dinner, Lesie and I went to the Arc de Triomphe. We climbed all 284 stairs to the top and it was a beautiful sight! The arc is in the middle of where 12 streets intersect so you can see tons of stuff! The view was spectacular!
Things I would like to mention but haven't had a chance to yet:
-when we went to Notre Dame last week, a bird pooed on me! I feel like you should know that, haha. It was only on my skirt though, so I just dumped my waterbottle on it to get it off.
-I have bought all of the Harry Potter's in French!
...well I guess that wasn't a very long list, haha. I'm sure I'll think of more stuff later!

A bein tot!
Briana
