March 9, 2010

Today I decided to keep my camera in my hand for pretty much the whole day to take you along for the day. Well, not so typical. I’ve mentioned before that we are in the midst of a two week intensive module course about global communication and advertising. The days have been long and there [...]

Home, Sweet, Yoga Mat…Or Something Like That.

March 8, 2010

I’m so happy to be starting a new week. A fresh start, a new day. Ahh yes. Monday. It’s a love/hate thing, really. Mostly love. It’s always mostly love.
 
Monday was on my side today. I woke up bright and early, sipped coffee, ate oatmeal, and read The Book of Salt – a class assignment that [...]

I mentioned yesterday that we started an intensive module class this week. Two weeks of  Global Communications everyday from 10:00am to 6:00pm with other visits in addition.

Gluttonasana aka You Got Butter On My Yoga Mat

March 1, 2010

A friend and I went to Le Cameleon today, a little restaurant right next to school in lovely Montparnasse. We enjoyed a three course lunch.
 
Yep, you heard me. Three courses. For lunch. If three courses for lunch is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.
 
I started with the saumon [...]

Food and Yoga; My two favorite things.

February 26, 2010

Last night my roommate and I ventured out to have dinner at a restaurant suggested to us by several of our friends called Le Cambodge.

Butter and Frenglish and All Things Paris
