I just moved into my new apartment, and I love, love, love it! I originally thought living with a host family would enhance my experience here in Paris, but I have a feeling that living in my own place is what I should have done all along. I’m on the very last floor, and my only window is actually in the ceiling, but I’m so excited about it that I was practically dancing in the elevator. It was such a difference from where I used to live, because I lived in such a quiet and vacant neighborhood, but my new neighborhood is always bustling, and like one of my friends said here “you really live in Paris!” My new area really enhances the culture of the city of Paris-what with all of its brasseries, small businesses, diverse population, boulangeries, supermarkets, and metro stops! Yayyyyy!

Unfortunately, I don’t have internet in my room, but it is encouraging me to get started on all of my final papers (yikes :S). I am in a library right now where I can use internet, and I am enjoying the atmosphere of this library. People are so productive! That should probably be me now…

Later, I have to go to the Louvre to shoot some black and white digital images of the sculpture Nike for my sister who wants to print it out and put it on her wall.
