Good News!

HEY GUYS! I got some great news. Turns out that the dorm finally decided that, while the whole "party like it's 1999" thing was fun, it's time to get some modern internets. This means that this may be my last post to this blog, since I will now spend my extra time watching illegal streams of How I Met Your Mother episodes instead of waiting three hours for my e-mail to load, which is when I've been writing my blog posts.

Yesterday was a good day. I of course spent the morning in class, where we had a test, which actually was easier than the usual classwork. After class, I went to the Monoprix to buy some cooking supplies and a halfway decent pillow. After this, I planned to make myself dinner, but ended up sitting around. I figured that would be my night again, but I was invited at about 7:30 to go ice skating at the Eiffel Tower. They had set up a small ice rink on the first level of the tower for free (although still 6.50 to get up.) This seemed like a much better alternative.

Let me say one thing about the Eiffel Tower: it is totally badass. In fact, despite it being so famous and renowned, I would say that, as a structure, La Tour D'Eiffel is actually underrated. It dominates the skyline of Paris in such an imposing, striking and beautiful manner that I would call it the best feature of any skyline in the world.


Anyways, we waited in line and took the elevator up to the second level, which is so much higher than anything in Paris that it makes you wonder how absurdly high the top is (I shall find out soon enough). It was a beautiful view, as you could see for miles around, and identify great landmarks that seemed tiny from up there.

We took the stairs down to the rink, where I strapped on my knee braces and, looking like a goofy robot, took to the ice, where I miraculously did not re-injure my knees. The ice was ill-kept and difficult to skate on, so I didn't take too long out there. Afterwards, we went to get some crepes and paninis in Montparnasse, which were delicious. I polished these off with a tall boy of Kronenbourg 1664, a delicious combination.

Anyways, it was a good night. I apologize if this blog wasn't funny, I just felt like getting some info out. This weekend, I head to Tours with abroadco. Should be a fun time.
