Notre Dame
The organ pipes are so big and the sound coming from them is even bigger! All the complicated notes echoed in the high ceilings and around the Gothic stained glass windows. The choir voices were high and clear rang strong and angelic. It was such a neat experience!
 Eiffel Tower
Being on the top of the Eiffel Tower was so high and a little bit scary, but so amazing! The dirty turquoise river flowed below and the old castles and cathedrals almost glowed in the sunlight. The ivory exterior and golden dome of Sacre Couer sparkled on its hill and the iconic buildings in the heart of France took my breath away.
French Bridges
Standing on an intricate bridge from so many years ago, you see lazy water rippling underneath you and a huge clock counting down the minutes you get to spend in this magical place. Black street lamps emit yellow light and the stars are almost lost in the velvet expanse of shadowy sky.
Opera House
The huge curtain made of royal crimson fabric lifts have way to reveal more red curtains trimmed with tons of gold. Balconies are detailed and adorned with sculpting of flowers, ancient designs and statues. Hundreds of seats face the stage and you can almost hear the absent audience clapping violently while the beautiful dancers take one last bow. The whole company gracefully runs offstage to the sound of their pointe shoes brushing the wood floor.
The Louvre
Walking into the building a glass pyramid suspends from the ceiling. You can see the front of the detailed ancient castle through the modern architecture of the pyramid. Traveling through hundreds of rooms, painting from previous centuries hang on the walls.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett The Help is a great book for young adults and mature teenagers. It is education, funny and insightful. It is 444 pages, but a definite page turner. I rated it 5-stars because it is such a great book. It is basically about how unfairly African-Americans were treated in the 1950s and 60s. It changes perspective about every chapter, but it's fairly easy to follow along. It is from the point of view of 3 women from Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960's. Aibileen, Minny and Miss Skeeter are the narrators. I thought it was unique that it had more than one narrator and it allowed you to understand the story much better. Aibileen (my favorite character) is a black women who is "the Help" to Miss Leefolt. She is kind, wise and smart. Throughout the story she develops a strong bond between Miss Leefolt's little girl, Mae Mobley. Miss Leefolt is very strict and rather  oblivious to Mae Mobley. She doesn't really know how to raise her, so Aibil...

Good bye Nutcracker

Nutcracker is over and I'm sad! It was so much fun and I made great memories. I fell on the last night during the Maid dance which was a bummer. My tray flew off my hand when I fell even with the strap on the bottom. I just pretended it was on purpose and made some hand gestures like I gasped and then walked off. Luckily it was at the end of the dance. I still had Waltz and finale and I wasn't going to let one fall make me sad or not do my best the rest of the time. Strangely afterwords I felt really calm and didn't really care until after party scene. It was kind of funny and I didn't hurt myself. The weird thing was that right before the performance I felt like I was going to trip or fall....and I did. Hahaha, well I'm just the really clumsy maid now :)  Maddie is a pro photo bomber. I just wish she'd bombed one of the bad pictures instead!  My favors for the Waltz gals  Emma being me...haha she'd be a great Maid! :) Love her  Cutie...

Apartment 51

My roommates are the best roommates of all time. We had a dance party the other day where Emmy introduced me to the 'nae nae song'. Can you believe I'd never heard it? I know. Emmy has quite the moves too. Gentry was doing laundry, which is an event because she actually does it the right way. Cold, warm washes; darks, whites, color, reds. The works. It took a few hours, so Emmy and I stayed up with her jamming out and chatting. We got a little depressed at how ugly our living room was because we'd had FHE at a guys' apartment earlier and their apartment was amazing. Framed vinyl records, leather sofa, big-screen TV, Ikea spice holders, quotes. We were put to shame. So we decided to put up a bunch of pictures on our wall. It now holds Gentry's towing ticket, pictures, The Living Christ, Proclamation to the Family, my Broadway tickets, a map of San Francisco and more. It definitely cheers up the room. We are going to hang a banner thing up too so we can hang temp...
