The Last Stop on a Long Journey

Hey everybody, sorry it's been a day or two since my last legitimate post.
We're in Paris right now, the last city on our trek across Europe, and we'll be here until Sunday the 28th, which is when we'll leave for Oxford. I suppose I'll go ahead and get you up to speed with what's been going on the past few days.

I'll start with two days ago, which I think is when I put up my last post. We had the day off in Brussels, and I accomplished a fair amount of work, not enough, though. At the end of the night a whole bunch of us went out to celebrate Lindsay's Birthday. We took the tram/subway into the city and found a little seafood place to get dinner at (bleh), and the food was good. I got a steak though. No seafood. Haha. From there we wandered to a bar and spent some time there socializing before a few of us went back to the hotel for the night in a cab.

The next day was our trip from Brussels to Paris, which went really well, although nothing too exciting happened. I just listened to music the entire time. We arrived in Paris around mid-afternoon, to find that the hotel was not too happy about our arrival. As it turns out, the group that was here before us almost got themselves kicked out of the hotel because a half-dozen kids were wandering the hallways half-naked in the middle of the night, knocking on all the doors and causing a general ruckus. So we're on thin ice, here, to say the least. That being said, everybody still seems pretty nice, which is far from what I was expecting. We had class until 23:00, though, which sucked, especially since Ulrich loaded us up with five more mini-essays to write in the next week.

Today we got to sleep in since we had class yesterday, which was fantastic, and so in about a half hour we're going to head for the metro to get to the Louvre. We'll be in there for about 3.5 hours, and then we head to the Pompidou museum after that, and we're in there until 8 or so, if I remember correctly. It's going to be a busy day. Same with tomorrow.

I know this post sucks...haha. Sorry. The last few days have been somewhat bland, and I'm a bit tired right now. Hopefully I can write one a little bit more exciting when I get back tonight. Assuming something exciting happens today.

Well I hope everything is going well back home. I miss you guys.
