What an exciting day for France...it was the début of Les Mis: The Movie!! No, I didn't go see it; I know, shocking. Honestly, I think it's coming out in English here anyway. But I'm sure I'll see it at least once just to say I saw it in Paris. Anyway, today we had breakfast in America...literally. In the Jewish Quarter there is a restaurant called Breakfast in America. Our group wanted some "real" coffee so we ventured back to the US. The owner of this restaurant is from CT, thus the Connecticut-named omelet on the menu. I don't drink coffee, though, so it didn't matter much to me, but I have had a pretty bad cold the past few days so I figured that was a good enough excuse to splurge on an Obama milkshake (a chocolate and peanut butter flavored slice of heaven). It was delicious, but didn't help my cold much because I gave in to purchasing some drugs at the pharmacy. Honestly, those pharmacists could sell an American ANYTHING and get away with it. I really had no idea what they were giving me. I just pointed to my nose and throat, and they handed me some pills and a nasal spray. The pills are actually ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine, so nothing to worry about, but honestly buying meds in a foreign country is definitely somewhat sketchy, especially because it's so weird to have pharmacists who are like doctors. Anyway, although I gave into the meds I'm feeling much better and am ready to start at the Sorbonne tomorrow (and take yet another test, this time phonetics). 

Today was also our second art history class.We had a nice discussion about the language of art and whether or not a singular reality exists (I of course argued against this idea). Anyway, I also gave my presentation on the Italian Futurist painter, Carrà. Afterwards I headed back to La Cité and ran some errands. I bought some feta and fresh veggies to make the famous Lainas feta bake we discovered in Greece...haven't had that in over a year!
