It's Been A While...

Finally I am back at blogging. Sorry I have not updated in so long! I can't believe it's already September 20th! I have been in Paris for 29 days! Time has really flown by, I don't know how I feel about that. I miss my family and I miss my friends, but I don't want to leave Paris... so everyone should just come see me. :) okay?? Recently my Haute Couture class had an excursion to a 17th century art museum. I feel like I have learned a lot, but sometimes all that analyzing of art is overwhelming! Melissa and I also visited The Louvre which was beautiful, exactly like what you see in the pictures. This past Saturday, I went to the Catacombes, which was a little creepy, but hey... it was free. Those International Art Student passes are handy. The Catacombes is what was created a long time ago as a place to store dead bodies. France had to resort to this system because they were running out of room. I kept thinking it was Halloween when I was underground, no no no those are real skulls, those were real people... that was kind of a mind blowing thought. My favorite part of the week though, was finally being able to develop my photos at the photography lab. It was quite stressful in the darkroom at first, but after a few tries I managed to get the film at least on the developing roll. A darkroom is completely dark...literally, meaning you do everything in the dark. Yea... that took me a while to get used to. After the dark room, I had to go to the wet room where the film is actually developed, then place them in a heater to dry, and last look at the results on the light table. It was a time consuming process, but totally worth it. I will end here for the day... it is 11:30 at night, don't forget the time difference people! :)

From Paris with Love,
