Hotels in Paris - Prices and Reviews

So there's a perfect and explainable reason why I haven't updated in such a long time....life...ooooh the interesting and colorful life of a graduate student! No I'm not referring to my bets on which basketball teams will make the final 4... First things first...In my "Multiculturalism in the French Education System" class, I had to do a few obs...

I woke up this morning determined to make the most of my last day here. It was 7:00 a.m., but I lay in bed, sucked in by CNN and France's version of VH1; apparently Beyonce's "If I Were A Boy" is quite popular here.
