I disagree with the Beatles. Yes it is a blunt statement that I never thought I would say, but "nothing's gunna change my world" is completely false. Paris has changed my world entirely; language, culture, fashion, food, friends, figure (a bit wider perhaps)... you name it and it has changed. And what a tremendous transformation it has been. I love it here and can honestly see myself living in so many different parts of Paris long term; the Marais, the 7th arrondissement, near the Luxembourg gardens... every nook holds a special value to me now. I have been given such a special gift... a 4 month opportunity to make this city my own and appreciate all the amazing gifts it has to give me (thanks mom!)...
As you all can tell, I am not a consistent blogger... in fact this is my first entry after a month and a half of livinghere... but this is because, I am LIVING here, squeezing all the juice out of it I can! I find it hard to make time for daily or even weekly documentation, but now I will try harder!
Today I had my french class at the Sorbonne, cleaned my room from head to toe, and now am heading off to my FABULOUS art history course on Baroque and Rococo Art. Professor Baltay is a fabulously chic 70 year old who looks late 50's and she knows her stuff! Its a very fun class that takes us to the Louvre every other week to look at art. C'est ma vie! Incroyable, non?
