Cynthia Water Closet

I was really going to post tonight! Just as I was about to log-in, I decided to check on cnn.com to get updated on U.S. news, but ended up finding an atrocity of a site, which prompted me to share my opinions. Find the the entry here. To tell you the truth, I haven't done much the past two weeks. I've finally connected back to L.A. a.k.a the real world by applying to summer internships, finding housing for next year, and reconnecting with friends. Paris is such a dream i.e. a really really long and wonderful vacation. My dad took my camera when I went to go visit him in Luxembourg, so there is a shortage of photos to post. I don't even remember the last (substantial) entry I blogged... :/ I really need to catch up; it's important!! Despite being 4:19am right now, I am strangely energized. My sleeping schedule is horrible. Let's take this week for example. Sunday night, I was up studying for my AHIS midterm and doing hw, which led me to pulling an all-nighter. All of...

I've missed a lot of dinner posts. Usually my entries are based on a particularly exciting day or a special trip, so the dinner pics naturally accompany the entry, but on the days when nothing's really new, some of my dinner photos get abandoned :( Here is an entry dedicated just for French delicacies and my host-mom Brigitte's home-cooked dinners. CAUTION: Don't view with an empty stomach!

Dear Chicken Little, All might be okay. Cynthia thinks she is out of her pun-making dry spell. She is making a smooth transition to foreign languages. Air five! Love, Foxy Loxy Which type of dance does Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast like to dance?! UNE BOUGIE!!!!! For the non-French peeps, it's pronounced "boo-jhee" and it means candle. Get it!?? haahhaahahha

Finally a weekend back in Paris, and what did I do... I can't really say when my weekends start... because I only have one class on Thursday from 5-7pm (and the only class before that is Wednesday 9:30-11am), so I am essentially left with a 3-day weekend and a lot of empty days. I'll start with Wednesday then... Wednesday, I had an art history lecture at the Musee d'Orsay , and then had lunch with Leah and Ather at a Greek kabab place near Cluny-La Sorbonne . After, I went back home for a bit and then at 6-7pm, Catherine (alias: Ather) and I had a make-up TD at Institut Catholique . *Remind self to talk about Vladdy in another entry* For dinner, we had leftovers from Aurelien's Bday dinner the night before (which I'll also get to someday...). Smoked salmon, lotte fish and tomato-cream based sauce with rice and chopped carrots A hefty stack of postcards I finally wrote and bought postage for. It is painfully expensive and after this batch, no more. Soddee :( Thursd...
