We have finally arrived at our last week of class at ESSEC! While we have loved our time in Paris, school here has definitely not been an attraction in France! That being said, we've made some incredible friends here during our three months with whom we have shared memories that we will never forget!
On Tuesday morning, we caught a train with our friend Elena and Sahil and Elena studied for their exam that morning while Mana took a nap on the train. Upon arriving at ESSEC, Mana went to her last Luxury Retail Management class while Sahil went to take his exam in Consumer Behavior. After the morning class, Mana and Elena went to take their French exam and an hour and a half later (the exam was scheduled for three hours), we were ready to go to the school bar and celebrate being done with our Tuesday exams!
Our friend Gary met Mana and Elena at the bar and one by one, all of our classmates came and joined us for drinks on Tuesday night. We took photos, laughed a lot, and eventually had to leave the bar to make it to a night out at the Opera Garnier!
Our Kellogg friends had been kind enough to wait in line and get tickets for us to see the Opera Faust at the Opera Garnier, so we were excited for the experience. While the Opera itself was beautiful, the actual show was a bit bizarre and the fact that the perfomance had French subtitles made it challenging to follow as well. Regardless, we had a great time seeing a performance at the famous Opera Garnier in Paris!
After a long Wednesday of classes and exams, we were finally done on Wednesday night and went to celebrate by going to Aux Trois Elephante, a fantastic Thai restaurant that was recommended by a classmate at ESSEC. After a great meal, we headed to the Republique area and our friend Peter guided us to a great Irish bar on the canal where we hung out and spent great time with our new friends on exchange. Eventually, we decided to go home since we were exhausted from our day and had busy agendas planned for our last 3 full days in Paris!
