Heaven in a cup!

Good news, my headache has gone away a bit...I know you all wanted to know that. Today was pretty good. There were only 10 of us in my phonetics class today. There are ususally 20. I was the only American there today. Apparently I didn't get the message that the rest of the Americans weren't going to class today. We were working on words that have v, b, f, t, and s, sounds, which are pretty easy for me. I have more trouble with the vowels. But, a lot of the Asian students in the class have trouble with them. We played this game were you and your partner took turns saying words with those sounds and the other partner had to write down what you said. My partner, who is the sweetest girl ever, had a lot of trouble saying the words that had v and b in them. So every word she said I got wrong. After class I met Amber outside. We talked to Amira for a bit. She'a going home for break and told me she'd bring me back some peanut butter M&Ms...awesome!

Amber and I went to the Louvre after talking to Amira. She had never been there before, like I said yesterday. I think she enjoyed it. We were really hungry so we went up to this little food court for something to eat. Of course the cheapest places was McDonalds, so we ate there. They have these people who hold these little electronic machines and they take your order while you stand in line and then you just give the piece of paper to the people at the register. I told the guy what I wanted in French and then when he started talking to Amber he asked if we were Americans, we said yes, and then he turned to me and said my French was really good. I was like AWESOME!! I was pretty excited. After lunch I showed Amber the history of the Louvre and explained that it used to be a chateau. I took her to see all the typical Louvre statues and paintings (the Mona Lisa, of course) and then I showed her the painting that I presented at Nocturnes de Louvre and she liked it. We were at the Louvre for a really long time. There wasn't a lot of people there which was really nice. I hate when there are a ton of tourists there. Amber was so funny and made me take pictures of her in front of the signs and by the pyramids. I made her take a picture of me, mocking her...it was pretty funny. The picture on the left is me mocking Amber. I think the skinny jean suits me well.

We left the Louvre and walked down Rue de Rivioli and I finally found Angelina's! YAY. The cafe was established in 1903 and it is georgous. We had to wait a bit to get a table because it was really busy but it was so worth it. The cafe is known for their hot chocolate and trust me, it lives up to the reputation. It was like Heaven in a cup, like eating a melted chocolate bar. God, it was AMAZING. We split a dessert. I don't remember what it was called but it was caramel something. It was good. The cafe was kinda expensive but I thought it was worth it. Between the 2 of us it was 21.80 euro total. So, yeah, kinda expensive for 2 drinks and 1 dessert but god it was good.

We left the cafe a little before 6 and I got back around 6:30. I didn't plan on eating dinner, or not eating until later but when Renee came back she started making dinner for me. I felt bad telling her that I wasn't hungry because she already started making it. She made these burger things, salad, and potatoes...it was really good, but I wasn't hungry at all. I don't have any plans for tomorrow as of yet. Katie said something about going to a movie but I haven't talked to her since Thursday, so I really don't know what's going on. I do plan on sleeping in though...can't wait.

A bientot!

oh and sorry if anything is spelled wrong. I'm watching Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants while watching this and I'm not looking at the screen while I'm typing...because I'm awesome. Also, the spell check still isn't working
