Week of November 23 – 29
On Monday, I had a translation midterm &.... Ummmm … Let’s not talk about it :x Tuesday, school -- > Inés. Wednesday – No work, again :/ Thursday was Thanksgiving !! K. and I decided to attend the MICEFA Thanksgiving “get together” which we thought was a dinner but instead we were served salami, seltzer water, and champagne :x :D … Though, it wasn’t as bad as it sounds. The champagne made up for the lack of food.
We ended up going out for dinner which WAS BAD !! The waiter was soo rude !! These people need customer service training.
It was def. not an American Thanksgiving but then again we’re in France! That night, Erin, Michael, K., & I ended up in Miller’s for beer J I wouldn’t say it was a HAPPY Thanksgiving more like a Different Thanksgiving.
Saturday was Yana and Katrina’s Birthday Extravaganza at Carpe Diem. (+ it was Marianna's Bday too !! )

Reservations were made but I felt like we were being thrown 
downstairs J …VIP in Paris is NOT the same as VIP in NYC but it was comfortable and we had our own little area which was cool.Sunday, Salon des Vins !! Wine tastings!!! I’m not sure if it’s an annual event or it happens various times throughout the year but it was sooo cool. The entrance wasn’t free. Students have to pay 3 Euros but you definitely drink more than 3 Euros worth of GOOD wine, champagne and even Cognac + they give you a free wine glass!!
At the event, there were about 1900 different wines/champagnes/cognacs. Basically, you go around with your wine glass sipping/tasting the beverages. It was kind of overwhelming. It’s kind of like a whole day event or an event you have to go and come back to.
I bought 4 different bottles of wine 3 to take home and 1 for ME J … but I wish I could have carried more. The French come with their suitcases/carry ons to this event which we thought was ridiculous but by the end of the day it was actually pretty smart by arms were killing me !!!
Week of Nov. 30th - Dec. 6 coming soon !!
