Ok, so maybe the library is a bit larger - it does, after all, contain a veritable forest within its courtyard. But my 10 page paper, written all in French (!), is also looking pretty darn big right about now. Luckily I'm working with a partner, a French student who studies at Sciences Po. It was so cool meeting up with a real French student and working and speaking all in French for the entire afternoon! I felt especially French (which really means I'm not at all...) when we did "la bise" as we said goodbye in the métro.
But back to school, let's now all collectively bemoan how much work I have to do. No more cavorting through museums or frolicking into darling little boutiques. No, no, I'll be in library. With the rest of the students at Sciences Po. Apparently we're infamous for never going out and constantly studying. I really do hope, however, that eventually I'll get a handle on the situation and get a chance to explore the city.
Example Gratis: cafè Kooka Boora in the 9th near Pigalle. I went exploring with a friend last weekend and we finally managed to find a cafè which serves really good coffee in France. I tried to be super French and order just an espresso a few times, but I can't do it anymore!!!
Ahhh, much better. And prettier!
