The best way I can explain my feelings at this moment, is exhausted. I am a person that really values their sleep,
and unfortunately that is something that I haven’t got any of lately. While I was able to get a little sleep while
on the train, the quality of sleep was not that good. The lack of sleep makes me
a grumpy person unfortunately. So, the last
leg of the trip I just tried to make myself sleep to not spread the soured
attitude.
When the turbulence of the train awakened me, my initial
thought was, go back to sleep, but I didn’t.
Instead I sat up and decided to look out the window. The view of the sun over the water was a
sight like I had never seen. It almost
instantly melted away some of the sour feeling I was having about the
trip. All I could was stare at it and
smile. Once we passed the beautiful
sight, I snuggled back down with that beautiful image in my head.
When the train was pulling into the station I was awoken by
the conductor explaining the exiting strategy.
This sent a shock of joy through my body. The feeling of being caged was finally over
and the fun could really start. While
walking out of the train though I still felt irritable and dirty. All I wanted to do was go to the room,
shower, and order deliver. Luckily
Coleen made us walk the restaurant, Pierre Maspero’s. Despite it being a little chili, it was AMAZING. At this point I have not really seen anything
because we got in so late yesterday, but what I have seen, I love. While at the restaurant I ordered the best
chicken sandwich I have ever had.
When we left the restaurant we did a little wondering as a
class, the architecture here is breath taking.
It makes me with the walls could talk to tell the story of their past. Then while were passing the St. Louis
cathedral we heard a woman screaming.
This really kind of scared me, but wanted had a natural urge to want to
assist her. Come to find out after a
little more observation she was fine. After this little adventure, Ali, Char, and I
all decided to do a little wondering ourselves and catch an Uber home. During this adventure, we stumbled across a
man who was down on his luck and asking for food. Once again this is something that pulled at
my heart strings. I don’t give people money,
but if they are directly telling me that they are hungry and don’t want money,
which this guy did, I feel it is our duty as humans to assist them. Who am I to deny someone food.
When we got back to the hotel, I checked my email and
realized that we had two more post to hand in by noon today. This kind of put me in deer in a head light
feeling. ALL I WANTED WAS SLEEP! I
however sucked it up and rocked out.
This made me feel like a champ and ahead of the game. So now instead of waking up in sheer panic, I
do not have to worry about homework, and that my friends make me happy!
