A day in the life... Location: Paris.

I'm totally exhausted, but I realized I haven't posted in forever and it's because I have crazy days like today allll the time. To show you exactly how little time I have to post, here's what I did today:

8 AM: wake up, get dressed, make lunch, jump on the metro to go to class

9:30-11 AM: French grammar class

11 AM -12:45 PM: watch L'Italien, a movie for my class Muslim Presence in Europe

12:45-2 PM: eat lunch, catch up with friends, take the metro to Ile de la Cité

2-2:40 PM: wait in line at Sainte Chapelle with every single idiotic American tourist in Paris

2:40-3:40 PM: visit Sainte Chapelle, draft an essay about Sainte Chapelle inside, sketch Sainte Chapelle for my Paris Collage architecture class

3:40-4:15 PM: scramble to the metro to go to the Louvre, get lost at the Louvre and be 15 minutes late for my Issues in 19th Century Painting class

4:15-6:15 PM: tour Classicism and Rococo painting sections of the Louvre with class

6:15-7 PM:  sit outside the Louvre with a friend eating pain au chocolat and resting feet

7-7:30 PM: metro home

7:45-8 PM: frantically write Sainte Chapelle essay and finish labeling Sainte Chapelle drawing

8-10:30 PM: dinner with host family, Pauline (French student next door) and young Chinese opera student/family friend of host family

10:30 PM-12:30 AM shower, finish up some homework, book plane tickets for October break

12:45 AM: bed!

Although today was slightly crazier than usual, it certainly was not extraordinary. This weekend I'm trying to give myself some more downtime so perhaps a real post with photos and what not is on its way... Until then, bonne nuit!

Love,
Anjuli
