Welcome! Again? Yeah, you thought I was gone, disappeared back into the black hole that is the American university system. But, inasmuch as I'm soon to escape it permanently, I need to find something else to do with myself, right? And so, here we go again, only this time, you get to hear (or, read?) …
World Citizen
A huge Greece post is in the works, but I feel I wouldn't be doing life justice if I let that stop me from posting about Paris before I leave in a few days. It's raining in Paris. No surprise there. But it is nearly June, and you'd think that it's March, based on the …
Two months: Country-hopping, adulthood, and new friends
So, I have tried over the last several months to put together posts, so I shall include everything I've written here. It's mostly unfinished stuff, as you'll see, so I'll try to, at the end, wrap up all this stuff. Then, I'll do another post with stuff about Greece, and since I've returned... * So, …

A Series of Ecclectic Experiences
It would be lying to say I haven't been doing anything these days, because clearly I've been busy enough to not update, but the thing is that the days all seem to run together after a while. You do one big thing a day, usually, and that's about it, but it somehow feels like a …
Penniless in Paris
So maybe I exaggerate, but in a few months, I won't be very far off. As usual, when one has nothing much to do, life is not that interesting these days. In an effort to take advantage of our location, and to get out of the city, last Friday, Selene and I took off for …
Janvier
The impressive thing about January is that I don't have classes. Which means, lots of free time. This of course doesn't include babysitting and teaching and the one class I do actually have, but still, lots of free time. Which means, doing lots of things. First, though, I forgot to cover a few things last …
Ville des amis
Paris has many appellations - City of Love, City of Light, Most Touristed City in the World, the list goes on... I, however, am of the opinion that there is another, less-recognized characteristic of this city: If you are going to meet anyone anywhere, it is in Paris. When I say 'meet,' I mean nearly …
Bonne Année et Meilleurs Voeux!
So, okay, that wasn't a very long layover time from that last post, but I have nothing else to do today, so why not update, right? As in the US, it's a jour férié, meaning a national holiday, so basically nothing's open, and while I suppose I could go out and meet up with friends, …
Enjambement
I wrote this before break, on December 19th, I believe, and just never got around to posting it. I'll post this now and then write a winter break/New Year's post in a bit. Bonne Année tout le monde, et meilleurs voeux pour 2007! (Happy New Year everyone, and best wishes for 2007!) **** For the …
Changes, ch-ch-ch-changes…
Sorry, I'm sick and that's the first title that came to my head. Music and all. Yes, my friends, I am sick. Sick in Paris. In my last week and a half before going home for break. In the last week and a half many of my friends will be here. In a week and …
