Well, I didn’t end up getting to see Phantom of the Opera tonight. There was some miscommunication, but Charlie (a guy from Wayne State) and I are going to try to go tomorrow night, we think.
Instead, I took the train with my new friend Dan from San Diego down to the London Bridge area and [...]

So far classes have been okay. I really like Public International Law and International Human Rights Law, but European Union Law is rough. It seems to take forever and the professor is a little hard to undestand because he’s Belgian. Human Rights Law is interesting, but it meets the last period of the day, so [...]

Musee d’Orsay
This is a painting by Vincent Van Gogh. I think it’s pretty, but I don’t remember what it’s called. ***According to Cam, this painting is not by Van Gogh, it’s by Monet. Whoops!

And then in European Union Law we just talked about the course and had a little lecture, but no homework! In International Human Rights law we did introductions and talked about the [...]

So, on the way back to England mom and I were held up by a snotty little customs agent (SLCA) who asked to see my student visa. I don’t have a student visa, because I’m only here for 6 weeks. So then he wanted to see proof that I’m a student. The only thing we [...]

Notre Dame Cathedral
This cathedral is the oldest example of gothic architecture in Paris. It was very pretty, high ceilings and gargoyles and a lot of stained glass. They were having a service inside, too, which was neat to listen to.
Mom and Me, Eiffel Tower

The Louvre
Our 2nd day in Paris (Wednesday), we spent the entire day at the Louvre. I figured we walked around for close to 8 hours, but it was neat. This is the big glass pyramid that was constructed outside the museum in 1989 by IM Pei (a famous architect from the U.S., but of Chinese [...]

County Hall
On Tuesday morning before we left for Paris, we rode the London Eye. It was pretty neat and a little scary. We took a bunch of pictures from the jelly bean-shaped pods we were in, I liked this one the best. This is the County Hall building, which houses the London Aquarium and a [...]
