Mon-Thursday seems to be primarily filled with classes. It is nice that it doesn't start until one, so we have time to do last minute readings and homework in the morning. This Monday morning was a little rough, as I hadn't left my bed in 48 hours. Luckily, I was feeling so much better at the start of the week. Joanna and I woke up early for breakfast and homework. I got some freshly squeezed pomplemousse juice with a yummy croissant. It felt good on my throat and was nice to eat my first meal in two days. I was worn out after my culture class went on a field trip in class to an area of Paris that was predominantly the "blacks and browns" of races. It was quite the experience, and terrifying. We were definitely exposed to a different part of Paris culture.
Tuesday was a long but great day, complete with two wine and cheese tastings! Our wine class met at my teachers wine bar Ô Chateaux. It was really cool, maybe because the owner is our attractive, young wine teacher or because I've never experienced a wine bar before. Anyways, our class tried about seven half glasses of wine of all different types. Not a bad day in the classroom.

That night, we had a cheese tasting activity at CEA after class. There were about 10 different types of cheese. We broke up into "teams" of cheeses, each learning how to cut the cheeses we had and the history/characteristics. We then put all the cheeses on the table and each group presented their cheese. Then we got to dig in! They got the best bread from the best patisserie and had some wine they described too.
By the end of the day, I was ready to never eat again. But I can't complain!
