Someone has a case of the Mondays

Before I begin, please view these other blogs.

Tandoori Temple Owl - Ben is the tall good looking guy in most of the pictures and he is in the Temple program. However, for some reason, he decided to spend a lot less money in India. He's writing about our counterparts in India.

Alex's IMBA Tour - Another tri-continent MBA student here in Paris, writing about his experiences.

Now on to the good stuff.

Ok - so as you may know, last week was pre-orientation. Pretty good way to get back into the groove of being in a classroom setting. After all, being in a corporate environment over the past four years is a little different.

This past Saturday, I spent looking around Paris. JD, Alex (the guy from the above blog) and myself walked around Paris for a few hours. We found ourselves in this over crowded 6-story department store called BHV with everything that one could ever want (minus the people). Before we left, I had to snap a picture of this below. If you know what movie this word is from, you are alright on my list.
Anyway, on Saturday, JD and I made our way to Versailles. This may sound familiar to you because this is where the Treaty of Versailles was signed (to end The Great War). It was a lived-in palace back in the day, when the French Monarch still existed. Today it is mainly used for special events. If you want to find out more, click here. I must apologize, as I cannot give you a proper history lesson. After all, JD and I did not make it inside the Palace as we could not possibly handle the outrageous line. However, we did walk around the gardens which are acres and acres long/wide. Even that is an understatement. I would venture to say that the property is how do you say... VERY LARGE. I even started to complain to JD how I was not enjoying the walking. He presumably judged me as a bad travel buddy. I guess that explains why he has not spoken to me since.

Here are some pictures from Versailles.

This is a fountain, but without the fountain on. I thought this was the best picture I had of the artwork done there.Today we had orientation in the morning and then we had our first class in the afternoon. I wish I could expound on it now, but I am ready for bed. In short, the class was interactively fun. I will get into this topic more either tomorrow or later this week.
