First day of COTC

So winter break has finally come to an end. :( Normally I would simply resume my schoolwork until summer comes along. However this year I'm taking a composition class at the local community college, COTC. On Wednesday my dad and I left to get there a couple hours early to get my books and find my classroom. I got to my class about 15 minutes early and introduced myself to my Professor. For the first day we simply went over the syllabus and wrote a short assessment to turn in. We started talking about MLA format which I learned about freshmen year in English, but I kind of forgot it. I was happy to find out everyone else had too, because I was the only high school student and it had been a while since they had done it. It was a little awkward at first with everyone staring at me for being the youngest, but it also felt good to be back in a class room. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to get writing!

Notre Dame

Today we visited notre dame. Notre Dame is a gothic cathedral in Paris. Once we got to Notre Dame we had to stand in a large line. it took about 15 minutes until w actually got inside. Right away we started to climb the 400 steps to the top of the church. We climbed and climbed and climbed and pretty soon we got to the first level. it was a pretty good view but the top was much better. Once we got to the top we had a spectacular view. Not as good as the Eiffle tower, which you could see, but still a view of the river and below Notre Dame. Inside the church the priest was preaching and there were candles lit everywhere. We walked around and looked at statues like the sculpture of Joan of arc. Once we left we headed on looking forward to the rest of the day.

The Patisserie

Today after we got back from are big museum walk my brother, sister, and i went to the Patisserie to get dinner and dessert that night. We walked around the corner towards a little shop that was down the street from our apartment. they had decorated treats like pie with the fruit in beautiful designs and they had treats that looked like they were a big glob of whip cream. We ended up getting one tiny pizza and a bunch of little pieces of pizza. For dessert we got to pieces of berry pie and 2 pieces of apircot pie, also an apple pie. The pie looked so pretty you didn't want to eat them to destroy the designs. they tasted just as good as they looked. when we got back we feasted on pie and pizza.
