where am I ? ( at the louvre)

Sometimes, (well, this whole time) i have to remind myself i'm in Paris. I know, its weird right. I will sit on the metro and just say to myself...." im in paris, im in paris, im in paris."  I will walk down the rue to where ever, just looking around saying to myself " Omg Paris, Omg Paris."I guess the reality really has not set in yet that I am actually here. I mean, it took us all spring semester to get our study abroad stuff done and now i am actually here. Wow. I must have done something right. I know it sounds really emo ( Antoine, stop laughing) but, the song from Moulin Rouge keeps playing in my head " One day i'll fly away, leave all this to yesterday....blah blah,"( Cara, you know i'm Satine...kind of) and like, I try to make myself all sad but then im like -" Omg Maddie! Shut up, you did fly away. Your fine. Stop it. "-  Ive only been here a little over a week and I already am greatful for my family friends and America. I love America. Dont get me wrong, im loving Europe but, America...is....America. 

America is...

Im not homesick (yet- mom/dad hows my booboo?!?) but, that list of things is just some of the many things that I took for granted. It happens. Whatever. I love Paris. I hate the time difference, Im tired all da time. I want to nap . Sophies walking in right now. Eeek.

 Today Sophie and I got our passes for the Louvre. She had to go meet her class at 6:30 for some tour or something of the Louvre. She's still there now. I just walked around by myself. One of my favorite things to do is to walk around a museum. I love imaging all the people who have walked the same corridors as I am, the same grand stair cases i was walking up. All my concerns or thoughts go right out the window. I drowned the people and the noise they are making out. I feel like its just me. And the fact of it just being the Lourve. Oh. Mah. Gawd. 

For those who have been to the Louvre:

OMG...Was the entrance not the coolest thing ever?

OMG...Was the courtyards not the coolest thing ever?

OMG....Was the room with all the bedrooms in it not the coolest thing ever?

OMG...Was the room with all the sculptures not the coolest thing ever?

OMG...Was the room with all the china and glasses and stuff not the coolest thing ever? 

OMG...Was the statures around the outer perimeter not the coolest thing ever?

For those who have not been to the Louve:

1. GO!

2. Anything that you've ever heard about it...so true.

3. Take yo' time.
