After 3 flights, 3 different countries and one train ride, I finally arrived to the most beautiful city in the world: Paris, France. It seemed like I was never going to make it but now Iv&#8217;e been here for 2 weeks and I am loving every second of it. I&#8217;ll start off by telling you that I lucked out. I live in the 1st arrondissement and I&#8217;m doing a homestay with a French family who feed me amazing meals and they also have a monkey named Lola. If this doesn&#8217;t already seem amazing, wait until you see the view from my window!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6310\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6310\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/files\/2014\/09\/Unknown.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6310 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/files\/2014\/09\/Unknown-800x464.jpg\" alt=\"Unknown\" width=\"800\" height=\"464\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6310\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Something I didn&#8217;t know: The Eiffel Tower twinkles 5 minutes every hour from 9-12!)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I feel like I&#8217;m living the dream. I also eat baguette three times a day and basically stuff my face with all the french patisseries that I can find. I feel like it&#8217;s my duty to eat at every single boulangerie that exists in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>When I arrived I had to take one week of intensive French classes and now my regular actual academic classes have started. I&#8217;m taking business courses like International and Intercultural Management and Global Marketing which are really shaping the view I have on globalization. I am also taking 19th century art: Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. I will brag a bit more about this class since we don&#8217;t use power point presentations in class to view the content. My class is in the museum. How fantastic is that?! We meet every week at a different museum and learn about the history behind each painting. Last week we met at the Louvre (Yes, The Louvre!!!) and we basically had Louis XIII&#8217;s private collection all to ourselves. No big deal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/files\/2014\/09\/Louis-XVIII.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6311 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/files\/2014\/09\/Louis-XVIII-800x196.jpg\" alt=\"Louis XVIII\" width=\"800\" height=\"196\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So I will keep you posted on all the adventures I&#8217;m having and I&#8217;ll try and keep up with all the food I&#8217;m eating and let you guys know how everything is going!
