I'm staying. I have Internet in my room now, making interaction with the Chamayous much less necessary, and things have really settled down. To go through with the moving process now would just reopen the whole nest of vipers.
I've been working more on my night shots project. I'm still scouting places, because I figure I can go back for reshoots. I've finally decided on a more definite theme: shooting negative space. The idea is that when tourists come to Paris they take pictures of objects: the Eiffel Tower, the Mona Lisa, etc. I'm providing the antithesis to that materialistic philosophy by capturing the absence of objects in key areas of Paris. Hope to get a shot of a street, a park, a public square, the river, and the catacombs. 'Course the catacombs ain't open at night, but it still fits with the theme.
Went out with Laureline again last night. Her university's on strike until Monday, so apparently her obligations have just melted away. She came out with her boyfriend Romain and her friend Alexandra. We went window-shopping for goth clothes at Chatelet, then ate at a Chinese place in the 18th, then over to the Latin Quarter for some gelatto. The evening flew. One of the best nights I've had in Paris.

Hi Eric, I'm sorry to hear about the recent troubles with your family. You are right that the entire reason to live with a host family is to interact with them. Perhaps the mother is taking out her grief inappropriately. Regardless, please consider yourself first. Let me know if you would like me to contact Dr. Costello on your behalf.
In other news, I love your photos. The Défense and fountain shot is spectacular. Nothing quite that exciting here in Gboro. Fall registration is in a few weeks. Watch your Guilford email for more information from me.
Any news about RAing?
Best,
Maria
I got an e-mail from Susanna Young telling me that I'd been placed in the alternates pool, which is about what I expected. So it's possible that I'll get a room upgrade partway through the semester.
Thanks for offering to contact Dr. Costello, but I really think things have worked themselves out.
Thanks for hooking me up! Love the photo's!! (I may or may not be stealing them from you later...just a head's up) :)
