Sun is shining..

"The boat" or Medecins Sans Frontieres building out our window

......out my window, on the streets, creeping into everyclassroom and the library, and guess what, I don't have to be there anymore! Yesterday I had my first 'vacation' day, and after 8am class went for delicious breakfast with Jess around school at this place called Eggs & Co... had amazing omelette with zucchini and jess got eggs benedict. Still haven't tried them but Bridgette has been talking about getting eggs benedict since.. I met her?

Then I just walked around through the river, the Louvre, les Halles, doing the tiny second-hand shop tour around rue Saint Denis that I used to do so much when I lived going up in that direction. Saw the nice Iranian guy who always gives me free stuff when I buy something from him... The goal was to find summer dresses because it's so hot I can't wear anything else, plus there's nothing better than a comfortable summer dress (except you have to be careful when you live in a city full of Marilyn Monroe ventilation things) but anyways... walekd for about 2-3 hours... then hit the Marais and thought of my dear Sofie so mcuh and how it would've been great to have her walking here with me and getting a falafel together..

I didn't get falafel but did get frozen yogurt (mmmm). Finally, I went to the camera stores I've been wanting to go for aaages in Blvd. Beaumarchais and left 3 films to be developed. I've been wanting to get a new, smaller, lighter 35mm camera and the guy was really nice and help me out and joked with me (basically he was laughing at me because of the expressions I invented in French). I have to fix my Yashica first if I inted to buy something else, and also, I think my next big purchase is going to be a video camera. For a couple of months I've been really wanting to get one to play around with it, make short films ar whatever... so I'l save for that and I think any other cameras will wait.

I've been getting some concerns about my potential vegetarianism... Hahaha. I don't think it's happening soon. Not when I'm goign back home in 3 MONTHS! (Ok it's not that soon, I thought I was gonna be surpirsed when I checked today's date...). I can't not participate in my mom's amazing sunday bbq's so the issue will be kept in a closet for now.

I have so many films in my computer to see, and so many books to read!! This is exciting, I feel like my parisian life just took a really god turn now that its really spring and I can go out and sit somewhere and read in the sun. Exciting! I'm going to an amazing bookstore today, le Monte-en-l'air to get a book I we used for a project on street art. I really liked it so I'll get it to have some French reading to do. Also I've been wanting to check this place out for a while, they have great openings, a gallery space, and really good book selection I've read!




After that, Bridgette and I are having a picnic lunch with Noemie in the Canal Saint Martin. Oh! And after that, Yuna is arriving and staying with me for the weekend here in Paris, so I'll probably be doing some of the museums and sightseeing I haven't done yet.

C'est dur la vie! Not.
