I'm ready
to get my kitten. I’m going with Kelly to a shelter in Geneva next Wednesday and looking for kittens. I will name him Mitsou and he will be one diverse cat. Switzerland, France, the States… he’ll go everywhere he is able to. And he will have a kitty passport. :D

This song is absolutely AWESOME! Even though...
Simple things
I want to take a nap in a public park on a perfect summer day. I want to drink coffee by the River Seine for an entire morning. I want to ride the trains for a whole day with no destination whatsoever… just so I can people watch and take pictures. I want to take day trips to the coast and build sandcastles and have picnics. And the list goes on… and I’m counting down the days.
I have a second degree burn on my arm
thanks to extremely hot coffee at the East Midlands airport.
COOL. SWEET. AWESOME. I WANTED EXACTLY THAT FOR CHRISTMAS.
Sheffield...

I leave for Sheffield tomorrow morning!

This is a surprisingly good cover.
List of things I didn't do before moving to Europe
Have conversations about sentence structure in different languages
Have conversations in 3, sometimes 4, languages
Really take notice about different kinds of milk chocolate
Drive a standard
BISOUS
Cross country borders on an almost weekly basis
Thoughts About Staying in Europe
Maybe one of the reasons why I know I just can’t go back to the states at this point in my life is because I know that I will be surrounded by memories. Allow me to explain.
I left the United States with my best friend / cat still alive. Since then, the cancer he had gotten just before I left got the best of him and he passed away. It was, and still is, really hard for me. Going back home...
Trying to find an apartment to rent in Paris is a lot harder than I thought it would be…

So I’m moving to Paris in August/September… so happy, so pumped, so totally going to be broke as hell.
JOKE TIME
So I once kicked a French chicken in the stomach… it went “oeuf.”

These are a group of pictures that I plan on sending into Spéos for my portfolio. I have to choose anywhere between 10-15 to send to them. I would really appreciate it if you could go and look at the pictures and help me decide which to choose. Thank you! :D

I'm applying to a photography school in Paris
Yeah, I am. Well, it’s more of like a 32 week program that comes with a diploma type thing. I am really excited about it and I hope that I’m able to do it. I’m sending in my application by the end of this week.
The school is called Spéos and it’s located in the 11th arr.
WISH ME LUCK!
