- I got sick with a cold.
- I went to a comtemporary art fair/market.
- There's been a lot of studying. I'm glad midterms are over.
- My program visited l'Assemblee Nationale, the French National Assembly. It is similar to the House of Representatives in America. We saw the semi-circular chamber, a library, press rooms, and more.
- I ate my first "sandwhich grec" in one of the many Turkish restaurants all over Paris.
- I dressed up as a ballerina and went to a Halloween party with friends from
my program. The metro rides were fun that night. - My host brother Hugo had a birthday party, which meant 50 French teenagers in what is normally my bedroom.
- I visited the Musee des Arts et Metiers-Techniques. It was filled with cool technology related articles like airplanes, clocks, cameras, cars, etc.
- My program went to the Immigration Museum.
- I wandered around the charming Monmartre, possibly my favorite area of Paris. (Minus the sharp incline. It's on a hill.)
- Today, some French celebrate Toussaint, a Catholic holiday to celebrate all the Saints. I went to Notre Dame and listened to an organ concert, heard a cardinal speak about the Church in Africa, and attended a mass.
- I visited the Pantheon with my program. Lots of famous people are buried their.
French Fact: France passed laws in 1905 to create a separation of church and state.
