i keep wanting to do cartwheels

We have been hit by the spring jitters lately. The sun is shining, flowers have popped up everywhere and l'herbe n'est plus au repos. which means there are most likely some french babies playing on it, and some open-air pda from the jeunes.  ah, par-ee.

but it's that feeling in my stomach that makes us not able to keep still, a build-up of slowly accumulating momentum so now we can't stop moving. (except to watch more seasons of sex and the city..)  I am finally feeling in a good place with thoughts correlating to making, and am excited to transfer that back home.  there are some projects being thought out, and a few just starting, and I love the feeling of the last projects of the semester, because when they're done, you are too.  and hooray for that. i welcome summer and the end of professors who suggest you put band-aids and zippers on drawings.

recent happenings:

-we went to a talk with Jenny Holzer at the Louvre and saw her projections on the buildings in the courtyard

-i went to the Buttes de Chaumont, which made me breathe a sigh of relief with all the grass to walk on and trees to sit under

-we celebrated easter in our secular way with Flexifizz, Twix, and Rochers de chocolat noir

it's probably seasonal, but optimism comes with the sunshine.

and now i have about as many weeks of school as i have postcards left to write. which is... not a lot. but in the mean time, i'm going to go play outside.
