Pièce à Paris

It was quite nice to make my own coffee this morning; I even had some to go in my travel mug! That is a very non-French habit, and yet it is always desirable. I had toast and a bowl of Special K with the skim milk that my famille d'accueilt kindly purchased for me! It was lovely.

Of course, I rushed out the door so I could grab two baguettes on the way to my 9am class. However, it turns out that I did not actually have the 9am class this week, so I had a productive (or somewhat productive) morning at ISEP with the readings for the week.

I had a picnic lunch with one of my friends in the classroom, with the baguette I brought and some camembert that she brought. It made for a lovely midday repast. There was even baguette left over for later! The Histoire d'Art class was interesting, and we covered Corot and Courbet, and then I rushed off to my stage d'informatique at Issy, where we debugged and downloaded Netbeans. If you want an IDE for Java that works far better than Eclipse, Netbeans does it. It finds all your compilation errors for you! Much better than the Terminal window with Sublime I was using before.

Afterwards, I returned, stopping quickly chez ma famille d'accueil to drop off my heavier items (i.e. computer) and change into more theatre-worthy clothing. I rushed off to ISEP, where I had my French course (amusing, as always. I choked on water, almost fell out the window, etc.), and then nostalgiaized (this is now a word) with my friends unit we deemed it dinner time. We grabbed some fruits and vegetables and another baguette, and these, combined with the leftover camembert and the Petits Ecoliers cookies that I'd brought along, made for an excellent picnic dinner which we enjoyed by the Louvre pyramids. I do not have pictures, alas, because I figure last night's are fairly representative and I was too busy eating! Then we had to run off, because we were running late.

Luckily, we made it to the Comédie Française with time to spare, and found our (excellent, thanks to Mme et M Bing) seats for Le Double Inconstance (Marivaux). It was very well done, and highly entertaining. Instead of walking, I took the lazy route (i.e. the Métro) home so I could get a bit done. Here I am. Good night!
