to keep you updated...

my computer is, in fact, broken, and though we tried to repair it, we tried unsuccesfully. :(

so let's see: last weekend i went to cassis and it was beautiful, yesterday i went back to Lourmarin, to the grave of Albert Camus (author of The Stranger and Nobel Literature winner). next thursday, i have 2 essays due and those will be my final finals! woo! though i assume i will continue my studies, its good to know the beginning of the end (for my formal studies) are over.
OH!!! and bastille day is this saturday :) i will enjoy some fireworks downtown with a couple of friends, as well as tour some museums! WOO!

so, in brief:
i leave aix next saturday to go to Paris, where I will leave most of my baggage and I will see my dear friend Beatrice. :) We're thinking about going to Musee D'Orsay :) the art history dorks we are, of course.
that same night, i take a plane from Paris to Gerona, where I might spend the night or take a bus to Barcelona.
I spend 3 days in Barcelona.
take a plane to Rome!
spend 4 days in Rome.
fly back to Paris, pick up my luggage, and fly back home the next day. :)

i am really excited about everything!!! i get to experience Gaudi and the Pieta once more. i will try to put fresh flowers in the tomb of pope john paul ii. oh my i am so very excited!!! i really do wish a family member or friend (mostly my boyfriend) was here with me, to experience all these wonderful things, but i am still glad i get to experience them on my own. :)

much peace and love to all!
