Two posts in the same day, oh no!



I wasn't going to post again today, but I just wanted to say a few things...I had class this morning, and it really went well, lots of grammar of stuff that I should have learned but was finished with grammar classes before I ever did...luckily for you, I won't bore you with long explanations, but it was great and I got to discuss grammar in French, what more is there to life?

This afternoon, I decided I didn't really want to sit at home and do my homework, so I went to l'Arc de Triomphe to walk around, and then I thought I'd do the French thing and 'me flaner' (to stroll...) down l'Avenue des Champs-Elysees. It really was nice, even though of course it was really fancy and touristy - the weather was great, so a stroll was perfect. I wanted to get on the metro Concorde, at the Place de la Concorde, where the Obelisk is, but then I walked past not one but 2 metro stations and had to get on at Louvre! (which was fine, since that's closer to my stop anyway). It was a beautiful walk and it was nice to spend some time alone for a bit. Also, I got a phone call from my penpal Faima who lives in a suburb outside of Paris, and hopefully we'll see each other next week!!! She's so hard to understand on the phone, but she's really awesome, so I can't wait to see her! Then Jenny called from Germany to confirm everything for tomorrow, and to tell me she'll wait for me at the train, and I am even more excited than I imagined I could be!!!!!! I can't believe I'm just going to Germany tomorrow, to meet my friend, to go to Germany, whatever, no big deal. It's truly incredible! Sorry, but I can't get the photos from this afternoon to load onto here, maybe I'll try again later, but check the Snapfish and they will be there. Bisous!
