Anyone has to have ONE day like this on an amazing trip like this

This day went from terrible to AMAZING!
To begin, let me inform you that Luci and Koester told us "Meet at Notre Dame at 10:00 AM... don't be late."
So last night (this morning) I finished my blog at around 1 am, after which I went up to my room, closed my eyes, and went right to sleep. I awoke at what I thought was around 7 am... well my clock said 11 am... hmm... that's strange. Someone HAD to have changed it. Maybe it broke. It can't be 11... it's not 11. IT IS 11! So I nudged Carley and Paige to wake them up. They were supposed to meet there group at 11, and had here own getting ready to do. I threw on clean clothes, brushed my teeth and hair, and briskly walked to the metro. I way on the verge of crying the WHOLE morning. So I was already an hour and 15 min late for meeting, but on top of that I was 15 minutes late for the ticket up the Eiffel Tower that I bought last night. Unfortunately, worse got worse when I got lost on the metro, misinterpreting a train line for a metro line. A subway trip that should've taken no more than twenty minutes instead took me an hour and a half. By the time I got to the Eiffel Tower it was 12:30. My group had to of been gone. I inquired if I could still go up even though I was over two hours late, but customer service said "no refunds". I sat by myself on a bench below the Eiffel Tower for two hours, texting another group who had a 12 pm appointment and waiting to spot them or someone I knew. Unexpectedly, I received a call from one of the girls in my group asking where I was because a group of 4 girls (Maddie, Britt, Nat, & Emily) also overslept... until 12. :) I wasn't the only one! So we met up and compared our circumstances. Together (with encouragement of B Moore) we went back to the Eiffel staff and asked if we could PLEASE use our expired tickets... the lady empathized, called her boss to make sure, and LET US GO UP! :DDDDD SO exciting! It was about a 2 hour trip up and down altogether, but so WONDERFUL! I've only dreamed of going up the Eiffel Tower. We all called our moms (the people we'd most want to share the moment with) from the top--super cute.
Our little group of tardy girls then headed to a cafe'/ristorante where I enjoyed a cheese and mushroom crepe'. SO yummy! It was a cute cafe'! The servers are always SO nice and they all speak English (I don't know what I was worried about...). We went to Notre Dame so we could explore the inside--it was so gorgeous/eerie at the same time. And I, again, was reminded of the movie! :) Mass was taking place, too, so that was neat. A very comercialized Cathedral, though, which almost makes it seem sacrilegious. After that we killed some time with some tourist shopping and then met in the square by the fountains for dinner where we would break off into our teacher groups. We feared the wrath of Luci and Koester (us 5 girls had yet seen them), but they had cooled off by 7pm and were very understanding. :) Cool beans.
Dinner was extraordinary. I enjoyed two Sprites (gotta have the European soda!), a blue cheese salad (fresh blue cheese, still hot; really good!), and chocolate banana crepes' with whipped cream ("chantilly" is what it's called here). A REALLY delectable meal. And the French waiters were going crazy over the American girls in there restaurant... too funny!
Lastly us girls (including Koester, Luci and Nicole) took the metro back to the Hostel, but this time there was entertainment. A little, stout French man played his French horn and sang to the metro-riders. We clapped along; it totally lightened the tension of the car. Then us girls started singing Taylor Swift and other songs and a few people on the Subway sang along--it was fun!
Oh, I also accompanied Luci to the other Hostel so she could Skype her family. It was adorable; her daughter even started crying. Aww. :)
Well, I'm in the hall and some Canadian just came and shook my hand and asked me what I was doing tonight and where I was from... he had to have been drunk. :P
I'm ready for bed... like now. Gotta be up at six tomorrow and it's like 1:30 now. Don't want another incident like this morning... :P
Peace.
