Movie: Polisse

Sorry for the lapse in posts!

I have been quite busy with final assignments.

YAY 12 PAGE FRENCH PAPERS!!

(subject: how television finances cinema in france

example: You know Canal+?

That is actually a channel here. The french gov't makes them 

finance films, with a specific quota for european films

and french films as well)

Classes: Paris IV, La Sorbonne. Among other things...

The street I sometimes bike down to get to my appartement

these condom dispensers are surprisingly common on the streets
this one was right next to a pharmacy

another pic from paris last night

a pic from inside the sorbonne; my classroom is on the right (but isn't in the pic)
I had the hardest time finding it. Why the hell would there be a classroom that can
only be reached through a courtyard??

the theater where I saw "the artist" for my french cinema class.
the seats go up much farther; this was the best cinema that I have ever been to.
I felt as if I had gone back in time, with the black and white silent movie and these seats

another angle

the window of fouquet, a chocolate shop
yum-yum!

I just love the motion in this picture!

Classes: Mosaique!

Time to give you some info about my mosaics course!
Here is the link to the atelier:
click me!

The original design, the measured-out design,
what I have so far, and the glue that I use.

close up!

the colors that I chose and what I use to cut the pieces

all of these containers are filled with different colors!
It isn't super easy to see from the pic,
but I wanted to show the scope

and back on the metro to head home!

Classes: Hitting the Books

time to start gettin' busy!

school has officially started, and I already have a major project due.

This thursday (the third time this class has met!!!), I have a presentation to give with another student. Thankfully, the book is in English and the other student hails from England. The presentation is in French, but at least all of the research is in english, especially since we are so close to the beginning of the class in terms of when we are giving our presentation. But of course, it was nearly impossible to find the book. Luckily, my partner found it, but it can't be checked out and has to be consulted sur place.

Actually, I am glad that I had to go through the rigamarole that was signing up since it is now out of the way and I got to visit a beautiful place.
