Today we woke up, and both said "do you want to have a piq-nique!" Well actually, we said picnic, because Caroline doesn't speak French. Yet. 
So we decided to go get a baguette, and take some yummy baugette toppings and blanket to les jardins des tuilieries. There is a wonderful patch of lawn that is right in the middle of les jardins and le louvre, with a view of the tour, and that is where we sat!
It was the most beautiful day for a picnic! Warm and sunny, but also a breeze, and a perfectly clear blue sky! The louvre is so totally beautiful, that is almost unreal to sit there and eat your baguette and nap and be with friends. Or in our case, a friend. We are still working on
coming up with French friends.... It's a work in progress.
In the midst of our wonderful picnic, I got some wonderful news!!
One of my classes at AUP was called "Media, Law, Policy, and Ethics". In other words, the class of doom. It was basically a law class! And as much as I have always wanted to be Elle Woods, I do not have any interest in law! So, yesterday I went to an academic advisor at AUP, and found a class that is much more in line with my interests - "Paris through art and architecture". So, I was awating confirmation from FIT that I could get credit for it, and I got it!! So, I need to switch from the class of law doom, to the class of Paris fun! And because I am taking an art history class, I get a special student ID that lets me into every museum and momument in Paris for free! How magnifique is that! The class meets twice a week, the first day you have a lecture on somewhere, and the next day you visit that place and learn about it on site! It is the class of my Parisienne dreams.
After out picnic, I came home to draft a letter to M. Drourard, our neighbor who "watches over" our apartement, to explain the mouse situation. I did it all in French ;)
Something needs to be done about the mouse, as he is still alive, and still terrorizing my life.
Tonight Caroline and I are going to see Harry Potter! With French subtitles! How fun! I can learn all sorts of new French vocabulary like "broomstick, wand, spell, and wizard!" It should definitley come in handy in my daily life. Afterall, my boyfriend is a magician! haha! The theatre is on the Champs so before we can do some exploring in the 8th. And maybe some crepes for dinner!
A night of Harry Potter and crepes! Ohhhhh, how I love Paris.
