It's all in place! I just need to decide between the three, and if I go to Germany, which is where I am leaning, I'll have to take German next semester. I am SO excited! You sound like you're having so much fun, I read your blog every time you post and I can't believe how much you are doing! It sounds amazing. When you get back, we have to video chat and you have to tell me everything! :D
do germany! it seems really cool there, my friends and I are lightly toying with the idea of flying there to see Bon Iver because the festival they’re playing in Paris is sold out ): aw! it really is amazing here. and i can video chat while i’m here! I don’t know what the time difference is between here and missouri, but weeknights around 11 here (probably 4 or so by you) work best. or facebook! or something!
I forgot to blog about it until now, but a few weeks ago was Journée du Patrimoine in Paris. Basically it’s a weekend where a ton of museums are free and the public is allowed into buildings that are closed for the rest of the year, like the Senate Building or Hotel de Ville. We went to the Modern Museum of Paris, and when I saw this, I felt home. Matisse painted the same exact painting on the walls at the Barnes Foundation in Merion, three minutes away from my house. To see the same painting, in Paris, was a little unreal.
