no more memoire!

They memoire is done and was officially turned in yesterday. French students are so anal so we had to pay a total of 12 euros to get all five copies binded. Whatever. It is done and I am happy. To celebrate I decided we should go to Truskel and upon arrival we found out they were having some sort of speed dating event. Not really what we were looking for. But we found somewhere else to go and it was nice.

Now I am officially in the home strech. I have 4 more classes and will officially be done with them a week from today. Then I have my two finals and an oral for my lit class which I still don't know anything about and then I can write the end of the Sciences-Po chapter of my life. I hope I figure out what is up with that lit test soon. That would be good.

It is bizarre that the end of this is actually close. I do have enough to keep me busy. Liz arrives the 22nd and leaves the 28th (?) and then Thievery Corportation with Clark the 29th, which we still need to buy tickets for, and Adam arrives the 30th and leaves the 4th. Any idea for what I should do with Adam? There is that Live 8 show on the 2nd so we will probably go to that even thought the Paris line up is lamx0rz. Whatev.

So Maria's excepted return to the United States of America is maybe the 19th of July. I need to figure out the travel schedule. For that it would be nice if my brother wasn't an ass. If I don't go to Germany maybe I will return a week earlier. I also need to talk to Judith to see if there is still an opportunity to go to Rennes for a few days. I would really like to and then we could go to Mont St. Michel but we'll see about that.

Crazy that in about 5 weeks I will be back in America. Freaky, really. I am definitely looking forward to my return and seeing family, friends and Phil. On the same token, leaving Paris is going to be hard. Really hard. I have had a wonderful time and leaving these people and this place will be difficult. It will be made easier that by the time I leave most of my friends will be gone and some level of boredom will have set in.

For the moment I am just extremely glad that I am with the overwhelming majority of my work. Such a good feeling.
