Semester Break....oh boy!

I suck at updating...sorry. I really haven't been doing anything that exciting so I figured you really didn't want to hear about it. Monday was the first day of break. I've been really looking forward to break because I'm just sick of school. But as it turns out, break isn't that fun when no one you hang out with is in Paris, you have no money to go anywhere, and it's raining. Seriously, the highlight of my Monday was going grocery shopping. Fun times. I went to the Simply, which is one of the bigger stores around where I live. I guess it really isn't that big, they just have a better selection of things. So I bought some food for the week and hopefully I can stretch it a little further than that. Renee made galettes (savory crepes) for dinner that night. They were pretty good.

On Tuesday I figured I'd better get out of the apartment or else I was going to go crazy. Renee came back for lunch and we ate together. After I was done I went to the Musee Rodin. Auguste Rodin was a French sculptor and he was kinda crazy, no lie. You may not recognize his name but I'm sure you've seen or heard of "The Thinker" you know, the guy with his arm on his knee and his hand on his chin? Yeah, that's Rodin. The Rodin museum was really easy to find. It's in the 7th, close to Les Invalides. I was really excited to go, plus it's free for me to get in so double awesome. However, when I got there there were like a MILLION kids there waiting to get tickets. I was like great, I had to pick a day where there's a giant school group here. Oh plus, the majority of the statues are in the gardens....it was pouring when I got there. I still wanted to see the statues, because that's what I went there to see so I walked around in the rain for like an hour. After I was nice and wet I went into the museum itself. It's a really old home I think. It was very pretty. I liked the inside of the museum but after a while I just got tired of looking at sculptures. There were a few VanGogh paintings there so that was cool. I left the museum and headed back home. The two pictures here are from the museum. The first one is obviously The Thinker. It was a lot bigger than I expected it to be (that's what she said). It was on this really high block made of marble, I'm assuming. The next one is of this guy who is walking. I liked his face.

Last night I was up so late because I needed to finish watching the last episode of season 5 of LOST because the season premiere was that night in the US...I didn't get to watch it until today. It was amazing of course, and really confusing but I don't expect anything less from LOST. I also finished watching season 4 of HIMYM...YAY BARNEY AND ROBIN!!!!!!!!! :)

Today I met Katie at this student cafeteria called Crous. They have big meals for really cheap. In Katie's program they gave her a bunch of Crous cards so she paid for my lunch with her cards. She has to use up all the points before they expire. We had pizza and it was really good. I was surprised. I mean it wasn't like Olando's pizza but it was still pretty good. After lunch we went back to the apartment so we could look at more Greece stuff and try to finalize some plans. I texted Renee to let her know that we were going back to the apartment and I asked if it was okay. She answered back, yes, but only today. I really don't know what that meant. Maybe I used the wrong verb tense and she thought I was asking if I could have a friend stay or something...I don't get why it would be a big deal if I had a friend come over for a few hours to look at some stuff. It's not like I was throwing a rager, we looked at hostels, flights, and watched tv...big deal. Whatevs...we had galettes for dinner again tonight, not that I'm complaining because they are really good. I don't think Renee will be here tomorrow night so I'll be making dinner again.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do tomorrow....maybe I'll check out le petit palais or something (that's a museum) I don't know, I'll figure it out.
