It’s officially our last day. It finally hit me today that this will probably be my last time in Paris, and even my last time seeing some of the people here. We had a good-bye “party” this morning; the school brought us breakfast. We started eating...
France 2012
Last rally
Business class was cut short today since we had a French rally in the afternoon. I am not a fan of these rallies. They are intended to help us learn French, but really all they do is make us look like idiots in the streets, and then make us go home with swollen feet....
Climbing the Eiffel Tower… 3 days before leaving
I got a lot of my presentation done during class today. I am far more productive when I’m not paying attention to the teacher. I don’t know why, but I can’t seem to get anything done at home. Anyhow… Instead of the same old lunch I...
le lundi finale
Today is the last Monday of classes. I am a little nervous since I haven’t gotten enough of my project done. It is also the second to last French culture class. All of us are pretty excited for that class to be over. I know it’s kind of mean, but our...

La Defense

Pantheon
Today was the first day I had trouble staying awake in Dr. Zarb's business class. He was talking about accounting, which worries me since I will be taking accounting with him in the fall. We met our French culture teacher at the Pantheon for class. When we...
