I've been plagued with a cold for a couple of days in the beginning of the week. Colds in Paris are just as glamorous as colds in the States, except for the fact that being in Paris, you know that you can always find some sort of remedy because it's a town full of hypochondriacs with a pharmacy on every street corner (however, I had already brought Tylenol Cold with me in my luggage).
It is always custom for any university (not just NYU) to pile on unexpected work right before Spring Break. Since midterms have already passed, I am facing 3 papers due variously next week. They seem like such harmless fun, but they actually cause much unwanted stress. I have not been able to get any info back on internships, which has really not made me happy. It almost seems like they don't know I'll be back from France for the summer? Does my schedule really conflict with so many of these jobs? Incredible, and just my luck, I suppose.
Woe is me, woe is me...
Please someone cheer me up
Out of this miserrryyy...
My time here is running low, and it's almost time for me to leave this beautiful place! I put an exclamation mark there not because I'm excited (not that I'm not happy to go back to In-N-Out burgers), but because I'm a little sad. It seems like just yesterday I really got myself to love Paris. In fact, I loved Paris all my life, and living here has been but a wonderful dream.
Despite the dog poop, and despite the cloudy weather, as I've said before, I believe Paris encompasses all that I had only wished that it would have for me. Aside from romances, I've gained a lot from just inhabiting in and breathing in the same air as the Parisians. Here I am, complaining about my life, stressing out about things that I have no (somewhat) control over. Yet these Parisians here seem to just, what is it, go with the flow. They make their feelings known, but then they still lead their proper lives. They drink their coffees, the eat their baguettes...
I still have to really, what is it, seize the day. Seize the day and just enjoy the desserts.
Eat the crepes! MANGE-LES!
I'm so uninspired right now.
