This is what I look like from the space shuttle. The yellow arrow is pointing to Paris at dusk, a city of light even before it gets dark. This google satelite picture takes you into the sixth arrondisement. And this link takes you to the café where at this very minute I am seated comfortably in front of a steaming grand crème and a fresh croissant. Can you see me now?
What about school ? Well, I met with my professor and we more or less decided on a thesis subject that pleases both of us. It is not what I initially proposed, but is a definite center of interest for me. I hesitate to tell you more until after the Pedagogical Council makes its final decision. Classes don't start until November, but I've got a bibliography to begin to build and libraries to discover.
