Hey guys, I'm Katie! Welcome to my blog, where I ramble on about anything and everything. I'm 21 years old, a rising senior at Boston College and am pursuing a major in International Studies and a minor in French. I just returned from studying abroad at Sciences Po in Paris, so most of the entries from the past five months consist of my cultural experiences, my passionate love affair with French food, my close encounters of the third wine, and my ramblings about crazy French people. I love photography, traveling, reading, and cooking. I love all kinds of music; check out what I'm listening to at last.fm. I also enjoy a good tweet now and again. Check out some more random facts about me, if you're so inclined...
Une maman temporaire
We have a new House Mama!
Simone’s mother arrived in France just before I left for Ireland, and she and Simone have just returned from a lovely little trip to Bordeaux. I didn’t get the chance to sit down and talk with her until today, and I’m so glad I was finally able to! It was so much fun talking to her about her life and her travels. She has been to so many different places, and knows so much about culture. I liked hearing her talk about her experiences thus far in Paris, and also how she has been able to relate the literary history to the physical places she has been seeing. She actually just finished reading Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and left it for us to read if we ever get the chance.
As I said, it was quite nice sitting here on the big, red, comfy couch chatting with her. I was doing some research for my exposé while she prepared us a delicious dinner of chicken noodle soup! It was so delicious and really hit the spot, especially with the chilly weather we’ve been having the past several days.
Not much else is going on my life, though; I have a lot of work this week, so the blogging might be lighter than normal!
