I started my classes this week finally. It looks like I have a fun semester ahead of me, but I already have a decent amount of homework. Luckily my weekend starts on Thursday! That's right, no classes on Fridays...I love Paris. However, for some reason I was under the impression that my books were already payed for...or that they would be super cheap. Neither one of these fantastic scenarios is the reality. The reality is...on Monday, the day after my birthday mind you*, I get to watch all of my Oktoberfest money go down the drain. And by down the drain, I mean toward my education....(that was joke, my education is PRICELESS like Mastercard).
This is a picture of me on the top of the Fortress of Verdun, where the Battle of Verdun (1916) took place!
Yesterday this cool french guy named Tony Taz taught me how to break dance. I think I tore my left tricep but it was worth it! Now I must bid you all adieu, I'm going to play soccer.

ReplyDeleteAlex,
ReplyDeleteHands down (pun intended) the Fortress of Verdun photo is the best! Of course, I say that because I always admire folks who can walk on their hands, chew gum and pose at the same time.
Awesome!
Love,
Dad
Oh, yes,
ReplyDeleteOne more thing, Alex. If I were you, I'd head to Munich and recalibrate my budget later.
Sign,
Your penny-pinching, level-headed father.
I reserved my seat on the train 2 days ago :)
