I have ceased to be a productive member of society

I just can't help it. I'm completely distracted because I leave tomorrow to visit one of my favorite people in the world in Berlin : Judith, my Judy. She's planned an Easter brunch despite the fact that she's Jewish. How sweet. ;) I am really excited to have a bit of vacation and not think about Sciences Po for awhile (although I'm still debating about taking along homework).

Last night I had dinner with my tutoring family in Asnières. It was beautiful outside so we had an apéro on the patio. On the way home, I decided not to get my connection at the St Lazare station and I walked the rest of the way home. I forget how close everything is in Paris. I made it home in under an hour. I walked south through the 8th past Blvd Haussmann & Madeleine, crossed the river on Pont Alexandre III and behind les Invalides. The sky was such a murky, pretty blue and the moon was almost full. It was one of those moments when I can't help but fall in love with Paris all over again, as cheesy as that sounds. Yes, I am one of the dorky Americans walking around with a dorky looking smile permanently plastered on her face; although, that may not only be due to the weather. Ohh, mysterious reference. ;)

Pesach-Brunch! You know that means we'll be eating Matzah and Matzah only. I just invented the Easter part so that you wouldn't cancel your flight last minute ;)
