Time to decompress a little here. The Buzz Issue #2 is about to go to print--which is probably the most stressful thing ever. Especially when you're accompanying your mother to the Lexington Avenue Bloomingdale's to shop for pillows (last semeter) or a gatrillion miles away, in France, without a Blackberry clutched in your hand at all times to respond to an urgent email at the drop of a hat (violà!). 97% of the time I'm SO GLAD to take a break from the ol' Crack' for a semester, but it's time like these when I WISH it would work for a day or two or seven.
In addition to that, my current responsibilities include: heavily editing my "analyse du secteur" paper for school (which is quite interesting actually, about how online broadcasts of fashion shows are changing the industry), searching for an apartment in Manhattan for the summer, booking hostels and planning my trip to Spain, finding a job and/or internship for June and July, being a good intern, keeping up this blog, and, oh yea, SEEING PARIS! I hate hate HATE when things like these get in the way of my seeing Paris. Plus, I have just over THREE weeks and so much left to see, do and eat! Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I've actually been quite emo about it lately and when the subject is mentioned (as it was about 54 times tonight when the BU Paris program went to see the play Fantasio at La Comedie Française), I actually find myself on the verge of tears. Paris has rocked my world beyond my wildest dreams and I'm beginning to think that I should purposely miss my flight and stay here forever. The French government won't know I'm still here, right? I don't have plans for June and July, nor a place to live.. this could work! Hmmmmm... Maybe! This could be the solution to literally ALL of my stresses! Except the Spanish hostels, maybe. Those babies won't book themselves.
Anyway, tomorrow I have to get cracking on finishing up this essay so I can thoroughly enjoy my weekend. LUCKILY, my trusty HiP Paris blog has a post dedicated to the wonderful Parisian cafés that offer Wifi, and I'm thinking tomorrow will be the Café de l'Institut at L'Institut du monde arabe where I saw the Leïla Menchari Hermès exhibit that I wrote about. Gaba went this weekend and said it was fabulous and a cup of tea is just 2 euro, as it should be!
Wowza, it's late. Gotta get to bed, especially because on top of EVERYTHING, the cold that I've been anticipating since FINALS LAST SEMESTER has finally hit my body and my nose wants to explode from sinus pain and mucus. Yum.
Bonne nuit, mes cheries!
Paix, Amour et Néon,
Marisa
