Procrastination Post

Alright, my real classes have started, my schedule is official, and it is as follows:

-Academic Writing in French (required)
-Arts in Paris 1900-1965
-Study of a Cinéaste: Jean Renoir
-French Cinema in the 1970s

They are all pretty awesome, even academic writing, where my teacher is the most delightfully French Frenchman ever. BUT it means my real workload has set in, which is annoying. Right now I am effectively procrastinating while I'm supposed to be writing an essay, in French, on whether anthropology can be an objective subject. Fifi is sitting on my lap and shares in my disapproval. BUT this weekend I am going to the Loire Valley to see some Chateaux, so I gotta get this done now. C'est nul.

P.S. My decidedly un-Parisian obsession while I'm here is "The Wire." It is, without exaggeration, the best TV show I have ever seen. Anyone who hasn't seen it needs to drop what they're doing NOW and watch all five seasons (which is basically what I've been doing today).
