I am sitting alone in my room and I am quite happy. I am listening to music, drinking red wine out of a real wine glass, in one of my favorite comfortable shirts, doodling. I am staying in tonight to get proper rest because I am a bit enrhumee (I have a cold) and I'd like to garner my energy for tomorrow night and the rest of the weekend.
After six hours of class today, I stopped for groceries despite feeling so exhausted that I almost decided not to eat and to crawl into bed. But I purchased some choice items and headed home, already tasting the zucchini I was about to fry in oil and salt.
Apart from massive quantities of bread and cheese, this photo is actually a very accurate depiction of my diet here.
My dinner was perfect; couscous with zucchini, smoked meat, and fried egg, and a glass of cheap ass red wine. Dessert: chocolate mousse. Today was just one of those days where despite nothing particularly spectacular having happened, you feel happy to just be.
Over the past week, I have:
--gone ice skating with some girlfriends at the outdoor rink in front of Hotel de Ville
--written my first paper of the semester (2 pages, double-spaced... ha!)
--watched the following movies: Strangers on a Train, Never Let Me Go, Date Night (not proud), True Grit
--celebrated Valentine's Day with two of my best friends
--eaten more than my share of pastries
--been taken out to dinner by a new friend
Tomorrow morning I am going to a screening of Hemingway In Paris and then Drole de Drame, both free courtesy of my program! Hopefully the cold will soon be history and I will be able to stay up past 11 pm. Just kidding you guys, I never stay up that late!
