Louvre et la soupe du chocolat

I started classes this week. I’m not really ready to accept the fact of actually doing school work again. I heard from past students that the course load here isn’t as difficult as back at USC, but I think I doubt that. I’m already a little stressed about all the papers I have to do… two for each class which means six total, four of which have to be all in French!

We went to the Louvre today for my Art History course. It was wonderful, as expected. It was nice to go back after all these years and see a little more than just the Mona Lisa and the Venus DiMilo. We still didn’t see a whole lot because we were concentrating on some French Neoclassical works (David, Ingres, Gros) that we had discussed in class, so I will definitely have to go back to see more.

After the Louvre visit, a group of us went to Angelina’s to have the world-famous “chocolat chaud” which is so thick and rich that it was basically chocolate soup. It was amazing though, and I definitely got my fix of hot chocolate though and won’t need it again for a long time, especially since nowhere else could compare.

At Angelina's, drinking the world's best chocolat chaud, or should I say soupe du chocolat!
