The biggest thing I have ever seen is The Eiffel Tower. When you get to the top, you can see the whole city of Paris. In the day, you can see the cheerful pastel colors of quaint apartment buildings and in the nighttime you can see the shimmering seine and glittering lights. For 10 minutes at the beginning of each hour, starting at 8 pm, the white lights flash. With the golden glow the tower always has and the sparkling bright lights, it looks unreal against the black night. Standing directly under it, you can see the intricate detail and amazing architecture and radiating glow of the Eiffel Tower. There are souvenir shops, Metro and bus stops, and crepe stands along the way. My favorite thing to get is Nutella crepes and Amarino gelatto.
Man, the first day was amazing! I don't have class until 9:30, then I walked over (super easy, short walk) and found my modern class easily. We went over questions and syllabus today so no dancing. I really love the faculty and I'm so glad I got to go to workshops here in high school so I'm a little familiar with the program. Then I had technique 2, and we did one across the floor. The two teachers said "okay, we have some people we want to move up to Tech 3 right now...Golda..." I was so happy! Placement happens throughout the week, but I was so happy to get moved up right away! So now I'm in pointe 3 too. I feel so grateful to be able to dance 9:30 to 2:30 every.day. !!!! I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...
