-5 degrees

It's damn cold today. I also have 3 classes to go to in three different paris of Paris =[. It might take 2 cafés, but I can do it. Because after that, it's the weekend! Today: Avant-Garde Literature near Bastille, then my Cahtolique T.D. from 2-3 near St-Sulpice, then my first ever Sorbonne class near St-Michel. Phew.

I think it's bye-bye free time, and hellloooo metro life.

SNOW

Snow in Paris! And it's really getting obnoxious. It was charming at first, until I slipped on the sidewalk and nearly broke my back, and let's not forget the damage done to my ego; although I 'spose it does look pretty and ornamental.

Today I picked up my Sorbonne placement results and schedule. Looks like I got lucky, my classes are right off St-Michel! Phew. I was a bit terrified they'd be in the building where I had to go pick up my schedule which is off cardinal lemoine and at least 2 connections away from me. Anywayyy, off to go live my uber-French life... ;-)

Oh no...

I don't want to go back to America...

Maybe it's the cafés, or the late night glasses of wine, or the sub-par seafood. I think it has something to with the cold, the complaining, and the both offensive and enticing smells. I can;t imagine leaving.

Skyp-ing with Enyi

Enyi is trying to talk to me about the superbowl. who's playing again? oh and he's also trying to convince me he DOESN'T have the musical affinity of a middle school girl... please stop serenading me with cher and mika, enyi! and change your bb txt sound.

Don't you wish you were in Paris...

"Damn, I wish I was in Paris right now..." -Enyi

Line 1 et 4 Metro Players

This blog makes me appreciate things I take for granted, here in Paris. Alors, I take photos and videos of things I wouldn't normally deem photo-worthy.

dear metro players,

je vous adore.

Fool's Gold encore

Last night, dinner at Verre Vole in the 10th with Fool's Gold members: Lewis, Amir, Michael, and Brad! Good food, amazing wine, and ex-pat company. Aaron is sickeningly literate when it comes to wines and aperitifs, alors it's in my best interest to pay attention and soak it all up. It took me a good 15 minutes to actually find the mysterious location of Verre Vole off the Canal St. Martin, but I arrived none too late and none worse the wear, and just in time for a few glasses of bright, sunny tasting wine and good conversation. I wish I had taken photos of the FOOD!

PS. sorry i haven't been writing that much in my posts, i promise to be more articulate next time!
