Alright, Day 2 in Paris and a bit more conscious than Day 1. That's a good start. You know, the French have got it right; they eat chocolate for breakfast. Also a good start.
This morning I had an interview with my resident directors, who are incredibly nice, and then a group of us set out on foot to explore our surroundings. It was very, very cold and began snowing as we walked across the street. We walked across the Seine to Notre Dame, then continued walking to see what we could see. We passed the Sorbonne and stopped in a café for coffee and hot chocolate. Then we basically walked a whole bunch until lunch time. After that, we went to a museum (I've already forgotten the name...oops!) and took the metro to the Champs Elysees. I finally figured out how to use the secret Parisian free wifi, and then Scottie, Natalie and I went out in search of food. We found a little patisserie that had sandwiches and whatnot, and on the way back Scottie and I poked our heads into a cheese shop, which basically smelled like stinky cheese. What we expected, I don't know. I feel stupider and stupider each time I open my mouth, but I've just got to get over it.
All right!! You're swimming the pond! Good goin'! And I think you'll come to love French cheese. It's to die for! Have fun!
