Yesterday morning we had cultural orientation at the API center at 9AM. After, I went to the bagel shop near the center and grabbed a quick lunch with friends before our trip to the Musée d'Orsay. This museum is much smaller than the Louvre, but I think that it might have been my favorite. Before becoming a museum, the Musee d'Orsay used to be a train station. Some of the structures are still left from those days, including a giant clock that hangs in the main hallway of the museum. There is a lot of very famous artwork featured here, including the self portrait of Van Gough, the lily pads painted by Monet, and a number of works by Degas.

After the museum, I went back to the FEU for a bit before having dinner with Jenna and Christine at a small restaurant near my dorm. I had couscous (which was good, but a HUGE portion) and we ordered french fries for the table. After, we met up with some other friends and went to some bars in the area around the API center. An Irish bar, where we spent the majority of our time, had a live band and was a lot of fun.

Today I think I will explore the area around the FEU and maybe meet up with people for dinner later.
