No time for sleep Dr. Jones

Well, another week has gone by. This week has been filled with Understanding Organizations. We have looked at mainly organizations/groups gone wrong. For example, we've examined the Corcoran prison abuse cases, Abu Ghreib, and the Challenger disaster. I don't want to bore you, but I thought I would enlighten you as to the fact that we actually do work here. However, is it still work, if it's fun?

Thursday night we went on a Seine boat trip. It was nice and I saw some more of Paris. Some highlights were the mini statue of liberty and the Eiffel tower. After this trip, a smaller group of us went out for Lebanese food. The food was good and I ate purple (lavender) for dessert.

Friday afternoon my philly/NY friends came (class ended early). This started a weekend of full tourist Dan.

Friday evening we went to the Louvre. That's right, I actually set foot inside the place. I gotta say, there is a lot of stuff in there. I was a little shocked that we were allowed to take pictures inside, but we were and you can see my adventures to the left (My Pics).

After seeing all the obligatory sites inside and more, we left for dinner... french style. We found a bistro and started dinner around 9:30.

On Saturday, we went to the Arc de Triumph and walked around champs elysees. My American friends bought some European clothing and made me buy some as well. Apparently they felt that I did not have any style. But, that simply cannot be true. I ended up getting a new pair of Euro Jeans, and a sweet white sweater. Euro Dan is in full effect.

That night (sat) we went to dinner at 10 and did not start eating until 11... very Euro of us. We ate some Alcacian food (German/French), and drank some high class wine.

On Sunday we went to the Eifel Tower and got up the the 2nd level (there are 3 levels), because the 3rd level was closed. It was pretty neat to see the the city from there. Just in case you get to Paris, and decide to go to the Eifel Tower, know that the 2nd level is good enough. You know, in case you want to save 4 euros ($50).

After this, we went walked from near the Lourve all the way to my place. We walked through the Marais (Lovely, Midevil, Quaint, Gay, Jewish), and bought a hot baguette. I also found a store called Thanksgiving where I bought Mexican food... go figure. Apparently, as JD told me, they have a thanksgiving feast there every year (eat in or take away).

After this 2 hour walk, it was my friends time to leave. They left for Brusells, and are probably on a plane now for the US.

This morning I awoke at 6 am to watch the Eagles play like crap and lose to the lowly Giants. Truly awful and depressing.

Today and tomorrow we are doing some career counseling stuff. This upcoming Friday we have our 1st Test and it is in Financial Accounting. Sounds delicious right?

Here is the New Dan.

Ok, off to class.
