Europe Day 7: Poop and Gelato

Today was a day of up and downs.

I felt poorly when I woke up, but got to use my new hairdryer for the first time.

I had to eat breakfast very quickly, but my professor agreed to start class later so we didn't need to rush so much.

I was utterly starving, but rode the RER (a fast train) for the first time.

We really had to look for food, but the sandwhich I got was fantastic!

Luxembourg gardens was absolutely beautiful, but a bird pooped on my head while we were there.

I had to pay .40 euro to use the bathroom, but I managed to get all of the poop out pretty easily.

Even so, my hair was all wet, but we walked around in the sunshine and it dried quickly.

I was so tired, but Kayla and I enjoyed some delicious gelato, and that made me feel better.

We returned to the FIAP and comfortably relaxed, but I accidently got Cow Tongue for dinner-I didn't eat it.  All I could think about was french kissing a cow (the French call it "digging a hole" by the way) and when I realized I probably would have enjoyed it if some one hadn't told me what it was, I wanted to throw up.

Now I'm just hanging out with Melissa and Jeanie in a little sun room while a concert-featuring people famous in Japan-is happening around the corner. It looks like they have food, so I may have to go get some snacks after such a disappointing dinner. 

I still have to translate a French article into english, and all of the business has officially caught up to me and I am pretty tired.  Add to that my disturbing dreams-where evil people get cut into little bits, and I nearly crash a car-I haven't slept too well since we got here.

But, like my Dad said; I can let these things drag me down, or I can ignore them and enjoy myself.  I think that, despite the many draw backs of the day, I still enjoyed myself. When all is said and done, I am still glad I spent today in the beautiful city of Paris.
