Paris, France... My Favorite Place

Until a few months ago I never set foot off The United States of America soil. I flew to France and, I remember the first thing I thought to myself was, be opened minded to the French culture. Little did I know that France was going to be my favorite place, Paris to be exact. It is so breath taking. The scenery is not the only thing that is breath taking it is the culture and people as well. The Eiffel Tower lights up beautifully at night.

When I arrived at the biggest museum in the world, The Lourve. I was super excited because it is the home of The Mona Lisa. I was in awe when my eyes laid on the art piece. However, I was surprised at the size of the picture. There was a lot of people that wanted to see the picture of course! The bad part was it took forever to get to The Mona Lisa because the museum is so big and there was a lot of people crowded around the art piece.

    The Louvre is amazing, isn't it? I remember spending so much time there when I was in Paris years ago, and also at the Musée d'Orsay. As a connection with the India class: do you know about the history of the French in India? Along with the famous English and Dutch East India companies, there was a French East India Company also; you can read about that at Wikipedia if you are curious: French India ... French is even still one of the official languages of India in the Pondicherry territory!

      Yes it is absolutely amazing ! I wish I could dedicate three days to the whole museum. I did not know that there is history of India in France. That is pretty cool how culture submerge and do business together.

Introduction To a Future Pharmacists

Hello bloggers! My name is Taylor Calvert and I am a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. My majors are Chemical Biosciences, Pre-Pharmacy and a Spanish minor. The coolest thing about my major is I am learning about the human body everyday. I personally think everyone needs to know more about the human body to properly take care of themselves. The cool thing about having a Spanish minor is being able to communicate with a larger audience. The best class I took last semester is Human Anatomy because I learned so much about the human body hands on. I was grateful to have the opportunity to work on a cadaver, to see what the inside of our bodies really look like. I absolutely love to cook and to garden in my spare time! Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved flowers. My grandmother and I would always spend time gardening together.                                      ...

Week 13 Story telling: Who's the King?

Image
It was Senior year at Chocolate High, two weeks before Prom night. I was not at all in any way apart of the popular crowd but I had a few good friends, teammates and of course some haters. There was always typical High School drama. How could there not be drama with the different clicks in High School. There were the blacks, whites, hispanics, athletes, band geeks, cheerleaders and many more. The few weeks before prom, the tension was rising. I can remember there was  great excitement too because there was  not always a prom night at Chocolate High. My senior year was the first year Chocolate High had a prom. The three other High schools had prom nights for years but Chocolate High did not. They said Chocolate High used to have a prom night but it caused so much drama that they stopped having prom night. Therefore, everyone was so excited to find out who will be Prom King and Queen. I was also excited but I knew I would never be selected to be on Prom court. However, it actual...
