{Saturday, September 13}
Okay, so I haven’t written in a while, but it’s not for lack of trying. I’ve been sort of busy and, joy of joys, I’m sick again. Cyprien and I suspect that it’s the cold he had last week, but we can’t be sure because I seem to have every symptom under the sun. Last night, I slept from 8 PM to about 9:30 AM, so I’m really hoping my body gets a clue soon.
Monday/Wednesday 9:00-10:30 Theatre in
10:45-12:15 Comic Books & Society
4:00-5:30 The Word and the Image {i.e. looking at the translations of ideas between media, like from a book to the big screen, from a painting to a play, etc.}
Tuesday/Thursday 9:00-10:30 Translation
12:30-2:00 Drawing
...near which we found the nymphs of La Fontaine des Innocents {The Fountain of the Innocents}, carved in the 1540s
and both the garden "Les Halles", built above the three-story underground mall
The garden itself isn't that impressive, but it has some fun elements.
and the old cathedral
...but also influenced by the Renaissance
and with a random statue in the courtyard.
You probably can't tell, but this is a giant sundial, which we thought was awesome.
And finally, one of Paris' many Arcs de Triomphe. I like the panting lion.
After that, we literally just walked and talked and then started to head back in the general direction of the metro stop at which we had started our exploration {the one in the middle of the city, not the one near our apartments}. Fortunately, we are both firm believers in the philosophy that you are never lost in

I request more pictures of your living arrangements and we should make a skype date sooooon.
OH MY GOODNESS
I like best the picture of you in the statue.
I'm in the Kohler computer lab because I cant' find a goddamn ethernet cord and there are these two freaking rlas pissed off and arguing with each other over something so inane I just want to smack them.
In a, "ya I totally work at a DV shelter and don't support violence" type of way.
Cora: Wicked excited to Skype with you tomorrow.
Jessica: Oh your goodness what? xD
Yes, thank you, I actually like that picture too.
And I'm sorry about the Kohler RLAs...try to retain your violent tendencies until after the freshman have gotten used to LU a little bit, so you don't scare them away :P
I'll second Jessica's comment about the one of you in the statue . . . that's fun.
Also, can you tell I'm catching up on your blog, as I'm making out-of-order comments nearly two weeks after the original entry . . . :P
What can I say, I like reading about your adventures.
I still say we should try and get a skype date going, though with schedules and a time change it might be difficult. But we should try. :)
