Musée de Quai Branly

So I didn't do too much last week: most people in my program had vacations and were traveling, but I got to stick around because of my bio class. I was also sick, again. Mostly I explored, got lost and studied for the exam which is this Friday. Then I took a practice exam Thursday, and it really wasn't that bad. It was more on interpreting scientific results than having all the stages of development memorized. Anyways, now I have this false sense of security and am having a really hard time making myself read more of the textbook. My program also finally found me a tutor, so I'll probably get one session in before taking the exam. I also signed up for another bio class called "From the gene to the protein: methodological approaches". I'm pretty excited for it and it only has like 23 people in it, which is tiny for this school. I visited another museum filled with collections of "primitive art". I managed to see most of the American and African sections in 3 hours, but I'll be back. Here's a photo of a sweet African sculpture that's basically a "do not enter" sign. Here's a random picture I took of the Eiffel Tower from a window in my building. When I saw it, the jet trail looked like it was coming out of the tower, which was awesome. I ran to get my camera, but the plane didn't wait for me. It still looks kind of cool. Lastly, this weekend I made perhaps one of my most important purchases here: "Aliens" in French. Most of you won't understand why I bothered to mention that, but Dan will...
