Snapshots of My Week (Mon-Thurs)

Rain, snow, wind, sunlight, thunder. We've got it all here in Paris. This past week has gone by so quickly, though I'm quite happy that the following photo is akin to the scene I see every morning upon leaving the apartment building:With this photo-taking in mind, I have chosen to express this entry more in photo form, along with particular events of the week.

LUNDI
-I had my practice exposée with Emily and Hanadi today for my economics class.
-We watched a live performance of "La Cantatrice Chauve". (below)
-For dinner, I cooked pasta filled with bolognase, and steamed zucchini.

MARDI
-Trevor and I had dinner with Christine (sausage with lentiles)
-Prior to dinner, we went out to a men's department store in order to profiter de (not sure what the appropriate English verb is) the final sale prices. Entouk, I finally found my jeans! (below, I'm wearing two of the pants that I got)

MERCREDI
-Emily and I presented our research for our economics class. Our topic was focused on the reasons why the United Kingdom did not adopt the euro, what stipulations must be met in order for the UK to adopt the euro, and whether or not we think the UK will eventually adopt the euro. The presentation was, of course, completely in French.
-After class, I went to the open market at Dupleix, with the intent on buying a watch, as mine is close to falling apart. However, there was only one watch vendor, and the prices were quite high. Entouk, I bought groceries instead.
-I decided to pass by the Eiffel Tower to check and see if there is still indeed a skating rink on the second floor (a huge reason why I chose to come here in the spring, versus in the fall). Apparently, there has been no skating rink for three years.
-On my way home, I passed by three sushi restaurants, and eventually bought some sushi (pictured below).
-For dinner, I made pasta with 4-cheese sauce, and fried zucchini.

JEUDI
-In Odile's class, we watched video clips from three different movies, focusing on notions of race in each of them and from varying points of view.
-For dinner, Trevor cooked omelettes and I cooked croque-monsieurs. Trevor's omelette, pictured below contained 5 egg yolks and 7 egg whites, along with ham, mushrooms and cheese as the filling. Needless to say (though I'll say it anyway), it's probably the biggest omelette we've ever seen.
