Day five :)

Ah what a great day today was. In French class we learned all about family and that made me happy because it got me thinking how grateful I am for my family and how wonderful they are. I had lunch with everyone at the studio space that Wells College has, we are having lunch there every week to make sure that everyone knows where all of their classes are and that they are doing well. Today we had "king cake" which is like what we have on Fat Tuesday and there is a baby baked into it and who ever gets the baby has a year of good luck. Here they do it right after epiphany and its like a little puzzle piece instead of a baby. Well I got the prize! I was so excited and they had a crown for me and everything! Then I took my first dance class in Paris! It was a advance level ballet class with a teacher named Wayne, he is American so it was easier to understand him and when he gave me corrections he spoke in English. The class was the highest level they have to offer there and some of the people in the class were a little below my technique level but the class itself was great, good combinations that were somewhat challenging but they still allowed me to move and get my dance on.

From there I ran back to the dorm and quickly freshened up because it was time for INTRO TO THE LOUVRE!!! I was so excited for this class and no matter what I say or what pictures I post it will be nothing like the real thing. It is just stunning. I mean I got chills from looking at some of the paintings and there were just so many breath taking moments. Anyway the class started and we were instructed to get lost and just look at different kinds of paintings and sculptures. She gave us a half hour. I compared it to the 50lb limit I was given with my luggage. Did she think that was enough time to get lost? I mean once I got somewhere it was already time to go back, so I didn't really get lost but I saw a lot of beautiful artwork. Then we went to the Ancient Greek artifact section. Normally I thought that this really would not be a very interesting part but man was it. She would describe why things were a certain way and gosh I could have stayed in that spot for days looking at everything. Just beautiful. Well that continued for three hours and I was not mad. I was tired when it was over though so I ventured back home and had a lovely meal of mac and cheese. Surprisingly very tasty. I don't have French class or any academics on Thursday so I get to sleep in! I have ballet at two. So I stayed up skyping with some friends and chatting on facebook with others :) It was a very good day, and even though it is supposed to rain the next four days something tells me it is going to be hard to have a bad day. Good night all and I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
