Lafayette and le train

Happy last week of class! Writing this is bittersweet as I can’t believe how quickly this went by. Since this week crept up on me much faster than I had hoped, today I had to catch up on some souvenir shopping and last minute errands. On the train ride back however, we had a frightening moment where we were strongly told to get off the train by the conductors out of no where. We all look at each other wondering what is going on, and quickly leave line 6 as they shut it down. I noticed my fight or flight mode for a second as we all scurry away wondering why we had to leave so suddenly!
Once we arrived to the famous Champs D’lysees, Edessa, Hailey, Kesley and I went to the famous Lafayette mall… which was truly unbelievable. Never have I ever seen something so beautiful, let alone a mall. The structure of the dome was a kind of architecture that I have never seen before- it was almost an optical illusion where you couldn’t tell where what started and what ended! After doing some light shopping, we went and grabbed some lunch at a nice local açaí bowl spot. I’m starting to believe they might be better here than at home. As we walked into the store, I could smell so many good smells, bit it did then go away after about 5 minutes and forgot what I was smelling. While eating it, I couldn’t help but now think of all the different odorant molecules I may be using/ binding while enjoying my bowl. After coming home I decided it was time to go to the gym and finish up my work- and we called it a night!Read more
