Getting used to a four day week of classes is not going to be hard at all! The first week went well, the teachers are great and I've already learned a lot of useful "what not to say in French" phrases in my French class. We have learned that the French can make just about any simple phrase into a sexual innuendo!
After finishing class on Thursday we went to a little cafe and people watched, we also decided to start planning some wee
kend trips before November when our internships start because at that point we will have to work on Fridays....so far our top choices are Italy, Spain, Amsterdam, and hopefully Prague for me! Thursday night at midnight was Lauren's 21st birthday, so we helped her celebrate with lots of "Joyeux Anniversaire" singing and two free bottles of champagne from a bartender and a very excited Irish friend!

We found a very good gelato and pizza place in Monmartre and fended off lots of offers to have our portraits drawn! Afterwards I did a little shopping on the way home, I discovered a H&M and a Zara just 5 minutes from the apartment. Friday night Lauren’s boyfriend threw her a surprise party at his apartment – we got her a birthday cake from a French bakery which was delicious, but nothing like an American birthday cake! While leaving we ran into a huge rollerblade parade, which apparently is a weekly occurrence in Paris!
