 Professor dancing with girl |
I started my report while running other tests. Writing is a pain for me; it took so long for me to write a paragraph. It was a good challenge for me. There was a polymer conference on Thursday and Friday, but it was in French. Therefore, I chose to stay in lab to get part of my report done.
We went to a Lebanese restaurant for dinner. We had Lebanese food, different kinds of sauce with wrapper. I could not differentiate which was the main meal because everything came in small bowls. While we were having our dinner, dancers performed a popular Lebanese dance. One of the professors from our lab also danced with the girl. I took some videos for him and all the students from the lab were interested in viewing the clip. They just couldn't wait to see their professor dance. It was an enjoyable dinner.
Chase and I went to a dance party on Wednesday night. The teacher was awesome; we learned some salsa dances, and I plan to go to his dancing class next Tuesday. Again, we went to Paris this weekend. This was my second time to Paris. It was a good memory because we did a lot of funny stuff, including dancing in front of Notre Dame, singing at the Eiffel Tower and acting around Paris.

The most impressive moment was Sparkling Eiffel. Every day at 10 p.m., the Eiffel Tower has a light show for about 15 minutes. It was extremely amazing. Everyone could not take their eyes away from the golden yellow Eiffel. Even when people were crossing the road, they just kept turning their heads back to the Eiffel. Other than Eiffel, we also went to the famous crematory in France. Chipon's tomb is one of the tombs.
