Pictures

Hello everyone! So another week has flown by (most likely because I've been dreading this weekend, a paper and a memorized 10 minute presentation due Monday, thank you BC) This week was relatively uneventful. I had my first sociology class (since I missed the first one and the professor didn't show up last week.) It is the history of sociology for 3.5 hours... YIKES! Not too much happened in classes this week, I'm understanding a little more, but sitting in one place for so long is killing me! On Wednesday night, we decided that since this weekend was going to be full of work, we would go out since none of us have class on Thursday. We went out the bluc that rejected us the week before and we gone in since it was "Ladies Night" aka no charge! It was fun to dance with all my friends, so happy to find people who enjoy dancing! I also enjoyed the music so perhaps this could be a fun place to take friends when they come to visit!
Aside from that, I had my Hollywood cinema class on Friday and he made us watch the EXORCIST. Clearly he doesn't know about the fact that I scream in my sleep... But anyways, here are some pictures from the past few weeks of some of the places I've visited (for Mom and Nana) and the people I've met (see I DO have friends!) Hope everyone is enjoying their Valentine's Day, I'll be spending mine researching French politics....


My roommate Amy and I last weekend when our friends came to visit!



The girls before we went out: {left to right} Erika (my friend who visited from Ireland) Moi, Amy, Marina, and Caitlin

Amy and I in the middle with our two friends who came to visit from Dublin!

At the dance club once we finally got in... Maggie, Me, Caitlin, Amy
View from the top of the Centre Pompidou, the modern art museum that I went to with Courtney... you can see Sacre Coeur at the top!
This would be some of the modern art... I took this photo because it reminded me of the look my BC French professor gives me when I don't know the correct word in French!
More "modern art" a little over my head... I'm not really sure what this is.
This is the museum itself-- built inside out with all the piping exposed!
Yesterday, we went to the Musee de l'Orangerie, located in the Tuilerie Gardens. It' s an impressionist museum, similar to the work in the Musee D'Orsay but with entire rooms of Monet's work. It was so beautiful, that now I'm thinking of taking a day trip in the spring to Giverny, where Monet painted all of his landscape photos like Les Nympheas! This particular photo above is not Monet, however, I really liked the detail and something about the photo just amde me want to take a picture!
Awkward solo shot for the mother... Mom you can even click the picture to make it bigger :-O
This is another one of Monet's paintings (they are HUGE) from his Nympheas collection!
And another, it looks so beautiful especially how the entire wall curves with the paintings.
And this is a picture with my friend Erika who came to visit from Dublin! It was so nice to see her :-)
