day 17: erc 103 midterm & freedom!

Date: Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

It wasn't so bad! I didn't budget my time as well as I should have and I felt like I had more to say, but that seems to be the general consensus I'm hearing from others. I should've written about justice and law with the Bois de Vincennes terms but I didn't and it's over so c'est la vie!

I mostly spent my free time uploading pictures, tinkering on the computer, and sleeping. It was fantastic. I just got back from the bakery and the grocery store. I watched Amelie with a few friends last week I keep thinking about the one shot where Amelie has her fingers in the seed and looks at the camera, knowingly with a satisfied, yet slightly mischievous smile on her face. I'm kind of a space cadet at times--but honestly I think almost everyone has a little space cadet inside of her--and small things do give me great pleasures, however fleeting. I've noticed that one of the things that make the world pause, even for just a small moment, is the sight of stretched dough on a fresh baguette. I know I'm kind of destroying the "moment" by capturing it and keeping it, but I want to be able to remember a time of tasty fresh bread whenever, wherever. (Well, almost whenever. Except Sundays. And usually bakeries are closed after 8 or 9PM. And Bastille Day. And sometimes Wednesdays. and Sometimes Tuesdays.) Dough is cute.
