Summer in Paris... :)

I've taken all my finals, I've turned in all my papers (as crappy as they may be), the semester is done.

IES is over.

But summer in Paris is just beginning. I'm feeling newly inspired. I want to write, I want to take pictures. I want to go to movies, plays, operas, concerts. I want to read...
