school? what’s that? i really don’t feel like i’m going to school here. every class i’m taking is related, and i love it. it makes things so much more interesting and i actually look forward to going to class. bahia (my french teacher) is crazy, but amazing, i learn so much from her. chris is great, i laugh a ton in his class and i actually feel like i’ll remember french history this time around. and christian (can’t remember his last name at the moment.. oops) will be perfect, i know it. so i’m happy.
today, besides religion and french, alyssa, whitney, krista, shelly, melanie and i went on one of our walks for our paris walks class. it was a scent themed walk, and even though i wasn’t feeling very good today, it was awesome.
we started with walking by a flower market outside of the madeline. it was beautiful and i loved it, but i won’t lie, pikes place flowers are still my favorite.
then we actually went up to/inside of the madeline. i actually loved it. it was a good medium sized church and had the prettiest gold accents. i can’t believe i chose not to come here before with my dad.
after the madeline we walked over to laduree, where the macaroon was invented. ironically enough, they’re only the third best macaroons in paris. but holy cow, their macaroons were delicious. i don’t like macaroons in the u.s., but here, i can’t get enough.
then we walked over to the perfume museum. it was honestly a little hard to breathe in there, but still so cool! i really like the adventures our little walk book takes us on. i would never have found or thought of this place without it!
after that we stopped by sephora and then headed back to our apartments. dinner tonight was strangely uncomfortable.. whitney and i cracked up about it after we got back to our rooms. madame dupetit’s son was there, and for some reason it just made everything a little off. also whitney put salad on her plate first, which made mme dupetit, amelie, and benoit completely freak out, but it was all fine.
what i’m sad about is the italian girls are leaving us on thursday or friday! 😦 it’s been so fun having them here, and i really don’t know what it will be like without them. hopefully things will still go well… anyways, everyone please send prayers and good luck my way so that my mission call comes in the mail tomorrow! i’m so excited to see where i’m called to serve. a bientot!
