November 1st, a quarter way through my senior year. I'm having a relaxing evening listening to the shins, decemberists, and radiohead and reading the times. I'm not sure what to make of my senior year so far. It's been much, much different than any other year. ...

Yesterday I got some company exploring when Jana arrived from California, and Emily came over to our apartment from her dorm at Ecole Polytechnique. It was beautiful weather - mid 70s and perfectly sunny. We headed straight for the Eiffel Tower to walk around. There were people ...

Flight from BOS->CDG was smooth (although I didn't sleep much), complete with 2 meals and a cheesy Jim Carrey movie (Yes Man). Picking up luggage, clearing customs, and catching the Air France bus to Porte Maillot took under 30 minutes. I met Linda at her apartment. It's ...
