Nothing too profound or incredibly exciting has happened in the past five lessons, except for the fact that I got sick! Again. It’s seriously amazing how many times I’ve gotten sick in Paris. Maybe my body just doesn’t have the proper French immune system? I don’t know. In any case, I made it to all my classes, so here’s what’s been going on.

Last term, I serendipitously got to know a fellow blogger at school. It was especially serendipitous for me because that morning I had forgotten to bring my pants to school and was freaking out.
