You can tell I'm actually having fun because I'm not writing about it all the time.

Lots of adventures and fun in Strasbourg and Paris, three exams on Thursday, and the realization today that I have no business being a student right now.

At least they're final exams, and I can finish with classes, spend my vacation week showing Lindsey Bailet around Paris and another town or two in France, and then start my full-time internship. I am ready to work and live and learn from that. I'm looking forward to commuting daily, to buying vegetables at the outdoor market and cooking them, I don't know, to not feeling bad about forgetting my homework.

I'll tell you more about my internship after I sign the contract.

Leave me a comment if you read this and tell me a short true story about your recent life. I'd really like to read it.

I thought of you today as I was driving and listening to this song called "Saturdays"...I don't know who the artist is, but she sounded like someone you would like...so in your honor, I cranked it up and did that dancy thing you mastered at about 14 months! Miss you...Love Mom

I went to see "Jules et Jim" last night here in Nashville. I was expecting to see it alone, but I ran into a friend there. The showing was hosted by the guy who directed the music video for the infamous "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer (http://youtube.com/watch?v=h4FmeNemBPg) so he talked about trying to find the original locations and getting Truffaut's widow to let them film at his grave. He also talked about the difference between "plagiarism" and a "homage" - namely, plagiarism is something a journalist does, whereas when a filmmaker does it, it's a homage.

And the film was beautiful. So honest and direct. Getting older. Falling in love. Keeping it real. You know how you see a film at just the right time in your life?

So yeah. Nashville can be a pretty good town on some nights.
