Not much happening here. The weather has been all up and down last week. It goes from sunny to rainy and back and forth every single day. I've been to a lot of different museums this past week. On Saturday I went to the Musee Marmottan, which is my favorite museum I've been to in Paris; the only one that wasn't free for me. At least I got a discount.
I went to the Louvre again twice, and the Musee d'Orsay on Thursday. One day at the Louvre, I met this really old French man who seemed like a grandfatherly type so I went to coffee with him. But then when we left he kept using the word "l'amour" so I figured it was time for me to go. I went to see the Mona Lisa, and it was such a fight! People really elbow each other, and push, and jostle to get to the front.
Thursday night I went to Duplex since it's so close by. Friday, I went to lunch with Nilo and then the Opera Garnier to try to get tickets to the ballet (in the rain...), but it was a private showing since it was the last day of the performance. I'll try a different show next week. Today I went to the Fragonard Perfume Museum and shopping at Les Galeries Lafayette with Serena. I tried a lemon Laduree macaroon and it was yummy.
I've also been taking an alternative route to and from school, where I walk right under the Eiffel tower. I think it's longer, but I was so bored with taking my usual route several times a day, that I decided to switch it up. I also walk past this place at Trocadero which is where all the tourists go to take pictures of the Eiffel tower. Sometimes I see young French "hipsters" practicing their tecktonik, which is a dance trend popular in Europe right now, especially Paris. It seems sort of juvenile since all the people I see doing it look like they're 13 years old. But Serena and I continue to look up instruction videos on YouTube, and practice, laughing all the while because it's a pretty ridiculous-looking dance.
I also discovered 2 new grocery stores right by my house, as well as a shortcut to Serena's place that takes only 10 minutes, so we've been hanging out more. I've been looking for summer au pair jobs lately; I have an interview on Tuesday for a job that's really close by, so that would be good if I got it.
And tonight, we're going to a discotheque on Champs Elysees called Neo. I'd been meaning to go for a while, and I saw that this was the club Lauren and Whitney went to on The Hills, which made me even more eager to go.
