A couple of things:
1. I really miss burritos.
2. My discount grocery store plays the strangest French versions of American songs. Last time it was "Let the Sunshine In" from "Hair." Today it was "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and the song from "Flashdance." Surreal when you're digging through the discount gouda selection. Or really just surreal...
3. The funny thing about grad school applications is that they make you write. This week I've written way more than in the whole time I've been here. I am conjuring up images of spending next year in New York or Boston or Iowa or SoCal. Or, you know, Wisconsin.
4. About a month from now, my family will be in Paris!
5. Today I ran to the Bastille from my house. Turns out it's like 4 miles. So I guess I'm getting back in shape.
6. I made pasta puttanesca successfully for a second time. Mastering the art of normal cooking is coming in right on schedule.
7. One of my friends has a jar of peanut butter. Our level of excitement over this is kind of ridiculous.
8. Still people-sick. Who wants a postcard?
9. Leonard Cohen's music was totally made for Paris. Nothing makes me feel quite like a young bohemian writer making my way in Paris like listening to Leonard Cohen while cooking in my shabby kitchen in my tiny apartment between looking out at Paris night windows over the courtyard and writing.
10. Or perhaps I'm just kind of pretentious.
