Well Hello There,
still with me? Havent lost my crowd have I? I hope not because I have alot in store for you. I have been living in Paris for 3 weeks now. I love it here, the degree of simplicity is superbe, yet complicated things like cell phones are really fucking complicated. Never the less, it is a wonderful city, full of culture and beauty, bread cheese, and cheap wine. I bought a 2 euro bottle of wine which was delicious and would probably cost 10 dollars in the states just for being from france, maybe more.
I lived in the dorms for 2 weeks. Pretty nice, met a lot of people, made a lot of friends. I must say that this may be one of the most dynamic groups of study abroad kids in paris. I was under the impression that everyone would be 19 or 20, more like 25 to 30. Im almost the youngest.
Things to do: drink wine at the Eiffle Tower, go to the Aussi bar to watch football matches, Paris lost to Marsaille, but France beat Italy! Drink wine at Pont Neuf; drink wine anywhere.
School is a little hard but fun and we go on field trips everyweek. This week we toured the Opera building and the Paris observatory. The guide told me of hidden tunnels underneath the subways and streets. It is my goal to get in there, and I will. But it is dangerous, so wish me luck.
I cant yet think in French, but every once in a while it happenes; my mind slips into french for a sec, and I feel like I can say anything, but that is only for a moment.
I saw La Science Des Reves, the science of dreams, the other day. cool movie, check it out, Im sure it is in the States.
Well I got to go to class, stick with me folks, it is going to get rockin once I get internet.

Watch out for the Space Invaders
