Apologies again for being so lax with this blog.
Spring is finally here in Paris. Sunday t reached 26 degrees and I, apparently like everyone else in Paris, decided it was time to get some much needed. Vitamin D by soon that great Paris pastime, picnicking.
Picnicking is possibly my favorite part of living in Paris. The city has some great parks, and the food culture (aka cafe and bistrot culture) already has a great people watching/al fresco aspect to it at all times of the year. Combine these two and throw in some great weather (and a bottle of rosé) and it's a perfect storm of distraction from your slowly accumulating pile of dissertations and revisions you need to do before the end of the semester.
Needless to say, life in Paris is pretty alright, if you ignore the schoolwork. In a week I fly off to Dublin to meet Liping. And in a few weeks even more friends will be coming to visit. All these good things have made me all the more aware that I only have three more months in Paris, arguably the last time I may live in Paris, and so I've been trying to make the most of it.
Mainly this takes the form of eating as many charcuterie plates as possible and long walks from Sciences Po up to the Right Bank, but that's more than alright with me.
