procrastination
I should be writing my paper on fascism in Italy right now. I should. But i am procrastinating. I really don't know why I am doing this, because the paper is due tomorrow, and I still need to write another page and a half, 1.5 spaced, and its midnight. But then I felt bad, because I haven't posted a blog in over a WEEK (because I've been writing papers on fascism and colonialisation, oh boy). Anyways, few updates for you for now, and more stories to come.... mostly, its semi-nice out! Hoorah! I went adventuring through the Jardin des Plantes for the first time like a week ago, and little did I know that it has a zoo with several thousand animals. It's 8Euro, but good to know that there is a zoo in the 5th arrondissement, no? Sidenote: there is also a FREE aquarium at Cite de l'Histoire de l'Immigration, which is out in the boonies at Metro Porte-Doree.
THEN last week I had many a visitor! Joel Cohen was in town, staying with his uncle for the week, and we shopped and ate lots of food and all these things one days in Paris. During the weekend, there was a GENEVA REUNION in Paris, aka Caroline and Joey came to Paris to hang out for three days (51 hours, to be exact). It was absolutely amazing to chat with people from home and to reminisce about Geneva, Sue Khaleaiff and Alfies together. Furthermore, the weather was about as lovely as its ever been here, and we frolicked through parks for most of the weekend. It was most enjoyable.
My final comment for now is that I have tried to channel this upsetting "vampire diaries" addiction into something intellectual-- so I went out and bought Dracula at Shakespeare and Company, a bookstore along the Seine (right x from Notre Dame, rive gauche) that sells books in English. The store was AMAZING. It is really cute and small, and has tiny rooms packed floor to ceiling with shelves upon shelves of any book you can imagine. I just learned today that it was one of Ernest Hemingway's favorite places to hang out, and I can see why. Anyways, I need to get back to this paper writing thing, because when I'm done writing, I can read more Dracula! Hoorah!!
