I’m moving soon to a different apartment, and it is small but very cute.

I’m excited.

I don’t really have one single inspiration for this blog entry, but something I’ve wanted to talk about is couchsurfing.com and how amazing this site is. I met this amazing Georgian photographer and an Israeli video art activist studying international law.  It’s nice that I live in Paris, because I get contacted a lot to hang out and go have a coffee, and it’s amazing to be able to have this opportunity to meet such fascinating people.

Another amazing thing: I can’t get over the fact that I have lectures in the Louvre museum.  Today we were in the French paintings gallery, and as we talked about each painting, I would get lost in it, analyzing it automatically.  Our teacher (who is hilarious) would continue lecturing at a different piece, and as I would walk over there, the window would catch my eye, and when I looked out, voil   was the pavilion of the Louvre.  The immense structure of the Louvre is so impressive in itself, but then add in the fountains and the glass pyramid by I M Pei, and at night, the dramatic lighting of each crevice of the Louvre.  It is a pleasant shock every time I’m at this institution.  I’ve never been to a museum in the USA that was even comparable.

Tomorrow I have more lectures at the Sorbonne, and I actually find myself looking forward to these classes because they are so interesting :).
