This past Saturday Lindsey and I took the train to Koln, Germany for the day. It was a great day trip. Once we got to the train station we sent around an hour trying to figure out where the Nazi museum was that we wanted to go to. It didn't help that neither one of us knew any German and the street to get to the museum changed names four times. It was worth the confusion though. The people at there were nice and spoke English and got us step up with audio guides to understand all the German descriptions. In the basement there were the cells that they held Jewish prisoners and the to be investigated in. They were originally build to house 1 or 2 people but towards the end of the war had over 20 people in them. Walls of the cells were filled with carvings and messages of the prisoners. I captured a great photo of a name and date carved into the wall. The upper levels of the museum displayed the history of the Nazi take over of Koln and what happened to the Jewish in the areas.
After the museum we did some shopping. We found a gummy bear place that made them in all sorts of shapes and flavors. Even the containers were themed. Lindsey picked some up of the beer shaped ones for people back home. I picked up some Snickers for Katie Rose.
The whole time on the train all I could think of was Sheldon Copper and his little song, "You forgot your flash drive" and "Soft Kitty". He would be proud of all the time we spent on the train. It was a great trip.
Packing for home is a challenge that is bittersweet. I don't want to leave this historic city, but I am excited to go back to Chicago and see my friends.
Au Revoir!

Nice Long To-do List and Trip To Koln
Last days of my trip coming closer, which means final time. I have a nice little/long to-do list. Only three items on the list, but the total pages adds up to twenty! I'm so happy that the two big papers are in groups and I don't have to do them on my own. One is my sustainability paper on a sustainable restaurant idea, which isn't going to be that hard to do, its just getting all the ideas down on paper and powerpoint. The other paper is on the United Kingdom, French society, and our each personal landmark. Both are daunting tasks to undergo and I'll be so happy when I finish them.
On Saturday Lindsey and I are going to Koln. It will be a great day to be able to see the Nazi prison camp and a beautiful cathedral. Two different sites, but both are momentous and glorious in their own right. Can't wait to go to Germany for the first time, but not the last time.

Remembering This Trip
With this trip coming to a close I am thinking about what I will do to remember this amazing trip. I have come up with some good ideas. I want to be able to remember this trip when I am 80 and am telling my grandchildren about all the wonderful people I met in Paris.
Here's the list of ideas I have:
Here's the list of ideas I have:
- Collect all the papers and such from museums and stash in a box along with my journal filled with pictures
- Get a picture of each person by themselves. This is because I want to remember each person as they are and not in a large group where one person is left out because they are taking the picture.
- Print out a few pictures to place in frames.
- Print out this blog and place in the box for others to read if this blog gets erased or outdated.

Weekend Alone
This weekend was my time to be a tourist. I went to so many places this weekend I had to take naps almost every day be I was exhausted.
Friday was my journey out to Saint Denis Cathedral. I have to say the way out there was scary. I took the Tram, not knowing what to expect, and it was really an experience. I got many looks saying, "She is going to hell." I was the only one in a skirt on the tram with a bunch of extremely religious people. Needless to say on the way back I took a different route, that took longer but was less judgmental. The ride was worth what I was able to see. It was so beautiful. My favorite statues were the praying Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI. They were a site to be seen. I got some great pictures of them with the stain glass they were in front of. I was also able to get a great picture of Catherine Medici. (All these pictures are on my Pisaca, just click on the slide show to view them!) The rest of the day I spent cleaning and relaxing, nothing to exciting.
Saturday gave me a chance to see the Pantheon, Luxembourg Gardens, and a huge flea market. The Pantheon had a crypt with some of the amazing men that have called Paris home. Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Marie Curie, and Rousseau. The structure it's self was beautiful. The paintings and the sculptures really were something. Most of the paintings were about Saint Genevieve and some kings. The sculptures were mostly about the Revolution. After the Pantheon I went to the Luxembourg Gardens, on my way I stopped and got a nutella crepe. It was one of the best things ever! The gardens were gorgeous and had sculptures EVERYWHERE! The ones near the center were all queens and other noble women. Throughout the rest of the gardens they were men or something to that extent. Medici Fountain was divine. The way the trees created shadows and gave it a darker feeling. The fountain itself was detailed and balanced with the male and female. My camera almost died when I was in the gardens. From here I went to Notre Dame to visit the Holocaust memorial and to do some souvenir shopping. The memorial was very sobering. To think that only a few decades ago a man decided to blame a whole sector of people for the poor state of the country and so many people went along with it. Genocide is something that as a humans we should never let happen again, but for some reason we haven't learned from Hitler. Other countries have done the same thing and have gotten away with it for many years, even though the whole knows. I'm not blind to America's mistake in the Japanese camps, granted we didn't intentionally kill them it was still wrong to take families from their home and move them to camps that were barely inhabitable. Or even what the early colonies did to the Native Americans, taking their land and killing them because they weren't "civilized" like the European Countries. Sorry for the rant, but that is what I the memorial made me think of. After the memorial I did some souvenir shopping and then went to the flea market. It was something. All the people trying to sell you knock offs and even underwear in funky colors and designs. I won't spill on what I bought because I still need to decide who gets what.
Sunday was the day for the CATACOMBES! I went with Laura and got to the location to enter at 10 am, when they opened. We waited for an hour to get in! The line was crazy and people kept adding to it! The wait was so worth it. My favorite part was all the huge amounts of bones that were kept there. One question that I had throughout the tour was who thought to design the bones the way they did. I have yet to upload the pictures but they will be uploaded soon. After the catacombes Laura and I went to the Dali museum. I wasn't to excited to see this, but I was surprised to find out that I enjoyed the museum. I loved the Alice in Wonderland pieces. Once I returned to the dorms I found Boy Meets World and Brotherly Love on YouTube. It was great to find them and relive some of my childhood. I miss watching them on ABC Family.
Well that was the extent of my weekend. I loved it, but now I am happy to say I don't feel like I need to be a tourist anymore.

Planning for a weekend alone
Most of the people in my RMU group are leaving this weekend to go to Venice, which leaves me in Paris with a few other people. I have started to plan what I want to get accomplished this weekend alone. For some reason all the places I have chosen to go to are morbid. On Friday I plan on going out to Saint Denis church, which is a burial location for Marie Antoinette and many other influential people. Saturday I will be heading to the Latin quarter to go into the Parthenon and into the crypt. I might also try and hit the crypt at Notre Dame on the same day along with the Holocaust Memorial. Last, but not least, Sunday is going to be a trip to the catacombs with the lovely Laura Gomez. I can't wait to see all these places, but I haven't gone to them yet because I want to go early in the day, but getting everyone together to go is difficult. This is the perfect time to go right when they open to avoid the long lines of tourists, although I am a tourist myself.
School is going great. I am really enjoying the classes, teachers, and students. The combination is creating a very dynamic classroom setting. I will miss the students and teachers when I go back to RMU, sometimes the classes aren't that exciting back home. I can't believe that I am almost half way done with this experience. Very unreal. Sometimes I still don't feel like I am in France, but am at home and relaxed.

Brussels, Belgium
On Friday June 17th, almost 40 of us boarded a train to Brussels at 6 am to visit the European Commission and Direct Sell Europe. It was a really good trip, educational and fun. The city was so beautiful and relaxing. It was more laid back than Paris and felt safer as well. The streets were filled with nice people and nice vendors. On the first day we ate lunch at this little pizza place, the best pizza I have ever had. The lady that served us was super nice and spoke English. The place we had dinner at was Chez Leon. The mussels were scrumptious and the iced chocolate truffle was delicious. After dinner I spent the evening walking around with Jeanette, ViVi, and Antoine. We were able to see the little peeing man fountain and lit up buildings. On Saturday, I finished the new Sarah Dessen novel, What Happened to Goodbye. It was amazing! I was also able to purchase a ring that is beautiful at a street market.
The other parts of the week weren't that exciting, filled with school and homework. I was able to do my laundry for the first time here. It was an experience. Only one thing shrunk, but it is all right.
Just figured out the slideshow app. Up in the right had corner are some pictures that have been taken while I'm here. Enjoy!

Chateau De Vincennes
Today was my first French 320 class. It is the history and society of Paris in 5 weeks. It is going to be intense, because the teacher usually teaches it in a semester. It is going to challenge me, which I am really excited for. Being challenged is something I love. I have to read over a hundred pages tonight, for tomorrow but that's not horrible. The material can be a little dry at times, but it has great moments. The one thing about history books is that the writing needs to be readable, not something just analytical. Jones does a good job of combining the analytical with some light hearted information. Like how prostitutes tried to get a stained glass window in Notre Dame.
I decided that I wanted to see the Chateau de Vincennes, so today I took the chance. It was perfect timing. I just read in the history book about the first kings of France and this Chateau was the first one to be used by kings. It was really beautiful and historical. Seeing the remains of it was still delightful, even though Napoleon destroyed most of the Chateau. Being there made me think that I was born in the wrong century; I think I could live without technology and in door plumbing.

Saturday Adventures
Yesterday was a very exciting! First I went to the famous cemetery the has Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde's grave. I didn't care much to see Jim's grave, but I was super excited to see Oscar's. I brought lipstick just for the occasion. The cemetery was filled with lovely head stones and beautiful cobblestone walkways. It was amazing! This will be one memory that I will take with me for ever.
We also went to Sacre Coeur to watch the city light up at night. Seeing the entire city was beautiful. We sat for over two hours till the sun went down. The whole group went; except for the sisters that grabbed a plane to London for the weekend. Getting everyone together was a challenge, but something that makes a wonderful story to share. On the way over to Sacre Coeur we stopped by the wall that says "I love you" in 311 different languages.
I'm going to start a flickr account to post pictures for all to see. I will post a link to it for all of you!
Au revoir!

Two Items Off The Bucket List!
Today I went to see Notre Dame and The Eiffel Tower! I couldn't have chosen a better day to go site seeing! The pictures are amazing. The sky looks unreal! I was also brave and got off at a random stop and started walking around to see what was there. I ended up in a very pretty park that had bocce ball courts! I saw exactly what my old french teacher would tell us about. A bunch of older men playing in the middle of a work day! It was probably the best thing ever, well besides the Eiffel Tower.
I don't think I realized how big the Eiffel Tower really was. All I was able to do was say "WOW". I have never been rendered that speechless at a monument. It was also the moment I realized I was in PARIS. I really have had the hitting moment that I thought, "I'm really here...It's not a dream." I'm surprised it wasn't at the Louvre, but hey, you never know what will do it.
So I officially crossed off numbers 32 and 35 off my bucket list. It was a great feeling! Hopefully this is the push I needed to cross off more on a regular basis. I possibly might be crossing off more than I originally planned, because it is only day 5 and half of them are gone! Time to revise and see what I can do!

First Day of Class
On Sunday as a group we went to the Louvre and it was AMAZING! I am very thankful that we all get along as a whole group. I know we are in the honeymoon phase, but I think once we settle into groups we won't really have a major problem. Monday we had our first day of school. It was pretty cool. The mix of students is going to be the best part of taking classes here. One of my professors is from the University of Hawaii. He is really interesting; he was born and raised in Nepal. Everyone in class is really nice and helpful.
Today I plan on going to the Open Air Market to grab some veggies and a baguette. The baguette I got is now hard as a rock. I can't wait to see how the market is. I thought going to the markets were hard to understand, but I love them. I can understand a lot of what everything is. I am glad that I took French and culinary classes it is making it so much easier to navigate through everything.
I was thinking of going to a few touristy places today, but it is rainy and I am feeling like being on my own today. Looks like a day that will be all about making some lovely food and class today.

Looking Out My Window
I am in Paris. The flight was long and boring. Nothing too special, except that it was the longest plane ride I've been on, but not the as long and annoying as my bus trip to Washington D.C. That is burned into my mind, of something I won't do again. Today I am making it a chill day seeing how I haven't had a real nights sleep yet. I am yawning as I write this.
I just want to say that on the ride to the apartments the first song that played was Tainted Love by Soft Cell. I couldn't believe it. I laughed a little. Then a few songs went by and then Amel Bent started to sing. I felt such a sense of comfort on the ride that made living here a little better. So thank you Madam Pruente and Mom for having me listen to them in high school.
The only thing that I am sad about, is the lack of air conditioning. If it were a normal Parisian summer, cold, it would be lovely and not gross. I am trying to conserve heat by all the lights being shut off and the window open. I'm sitting at the table and looking at the city was awesome. All the people are so serious here and now as I eat some Nutella on a slice of baguette, makes me feel like I am part of the beauty I am seeing. I wish everyone could feel what I am feeling at this moment.

Music!
Packing is pretty much done. I have pretty much everything that I will need, thanks to my wonderful friend Jesseal. It is hard to believe in 48 hours I'll be on a plane over the Atlantic Ocean, the longest plane ride to date. One day I will make sure that an eight hour flight is nothing, I want to travel all over so eight hours isn't that much right?
I just updated my playlist on my nook to go along with "What Happened to Goodbye" by Sarah Dessen. I am glad I finally sat down and did this before I left on an eight hour flight with a new book. Time to start piling together some new songs for a Paris Playlist! I
Here's a glimpse into what I just added:
Hold it Against Me- Britney Spears
Stay The Night - James Blunt
Doctor and Navigate Me - Cute Is What We Aim For
Do It Like A Dude - Jessie J
Black and Yellow - Wiz Khalifa
Strip Me and Weightless - Natasha Bedingfield
HereGoesNothing and BigCityDreams - Never Shout Never
Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri
Who Says - Selena Gomez

Books, Books, and More Books
I have ten days till I leave for the wonderful city of Paris! I have most everything I need except a few things, like a book for class, adapter and converter, a cheap toothbrush, and so on. My adapter and converter should be here tomorrow, thank you to my wonderful friend Kelly for letting me take hers over with me.
Two books and five eBooks. That is how many books I am taking with me to Paris. The number makes me feel like a nerd, but what can I say, I love to read! One of the books I am taking with me is a textbook so I don't think that one should count! Another one of the books I'm taking is What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen, which will be a light read in comparison to what I have been reading recently.
Sometimes when I lay awake at night, I feel like the girl I was before I moved to Chicago. Someone that was ordinary, but after June 3rd, 2011 I hope I'll be more than ordinary. Being someone that has stories to tell is something I want out of my life, especially if I want to write a book. Who wants to read about a boring person?

Crossing Off My Bucket List
Every once and again I look over my bucket list. I realized I would be crossing off a few off once I get to Paris! I can't wait to put a dent into the 135 items on the list. So far I have only crossed off six, but now I will hopefully be crossing off four more.
32. Visit the louvre
35. Take awesome pictures of the Eiffel Tower
106. Watch a sunrise
109. Go on a picnic
There are more things I want to do while I am there, like visit the spot where the guillotine was, which is the Place de la concorde, and I also what to visit the catacombs! I think this makes me a very morbid person for wanting to see these places of death.

Preparations
Today I went to Target and a thrift store and got some of the items I will be needing while over in Paris. I got black flats, shampoo and conditioner, French press and ground coffee. I am such a coffee addict I am taking a French press with me! I don't want to spend a few dollars everyday for this addiction, but spend that money else where like on gifts for my lovely friends that I am leaving behind for a few weeks. Now time for a quick French lesson!
Hello Bonjour
How are you? Comment Ca va?
Good Bien.
Goodbye Au revoir!
Good Night Bonne nuit.
Coffee with Milk Cafe au lait
Thank you! Merci
Sorry, excuse me Desole, excusez-moi.
I don't understand. Je ne comprends pas.
Historical sites Les sites historiques
Flea Market Le marche aux puces
I love you! Je t'aime!
Alright. Time for bed!

First Meeting (21 Days)
On Tuesday, May 10th, I went to my first meeting before leaving on June 3rd. There are about 17 people going with me to the city of lights! I think that our group is going to have a bunch of fun while we are traveling and taking classes. I have the same class schedule as many other of the students. Which is reassuring, I will know people in my class! I always have the fear of not knowing who will be in class with me, but know I know. I am a now a team leader for the lovely United Kingdom! I can't wait to learn more about the country that I seem to have an attraction is to.
Today I bought my map for the trip. It one is water repellent and and huge without being to big. I have decided to go without a travel guide. I plan on exploring the city by myself and not according to someone else's trip. All I need is a map, google, and yelp!
