Nothing's really been happening here. The Chamayous are in Spain for the week, so I've had the house to myself.
On Sunday I took a walk down to the Seine, which is only about a mile from the house. It looks comfortingly like the Shenandoah, and now I'm wishing I had a kayak.
At the beginning of the semester M. Bondurand assigned each of us several projects based on our interests that we had listed in our applications. One of mine is to take five shots of the city that connect to five short stories. The story ideas I've come up with are too complicated to shoot easily, so I've been scouting locations in the hope of finding somewhere that'll inspire me to write something simpler. Yesterday I walked from the Sorbonne to Notre Dame to get more shots of the river from underneath the bridges. Then after class I hopped the Metro to Montmartre to shoot around there.
Thanks to anyone who posted comments, it's great to hear from y'all.
Happy birthday, Maia.

Ignore Kelsey,
I am glad you are enjoying Paris and settling in nicely. I hope you get to see and experience everything you want to.
Think about taking pictures first and developing your stories from there. Think Je T'aime Paris. Use your visual creativity first and then build the words from there.
I love you and miss you, but I'm glad you are there experiencing it all. Love every minute of it!
Anonymous was me. Warren wouldn't help me and of course I'm incompetent. Sorry to mess up your blog.
I think you should canoe instead of kayak. It's more fun.
