aruanWe got housing assignments for the summer program yesterday. I now have an address! In PARIS! Still cannot believe I'll be living there for a month. For interested parties:
Eva Kis c/o CEA
22 Rue de la Sabliere
75014 Paris
France
Wow, that was surreal to type. Also, note to self: Paris icon. Oh, and do drop me a line with your address if you'd like postcards or sundry - I've got Miranda, Peter, Cooper, and Schiz covered, but I'd be happy to scrawl off many more. [ETA: Of course, baby boy thinks it's du rigeur to be in France this week. Hopefully, I won't be too passe to only arrive next Monday. ;)]
Had myself a minor panic attack yesterday afternoon when my mother suggested I leave my laptop at home. Scary stuff, freaking out in escalating degrees as I tried to fathom the implications of that, and it almost ended in tears. Forgetting Internet access, I'd still need to download photos off my digital camera-to-be, keep a regular journal, work on WIPs, listen to music, etc. Just, no. I consoled myself with a leather computer backpack from Samsonite, and all is right with the world again.
We (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
giddyupnow, crownzeal, and myself) have a fourth for Challenge! Whoo! Welcome raaone to our madness. Hope you'll find two enthusiasts and the queen who surpasses them all good company. In other not-so-happy Challenge news, I am just as dismayed about the VIP ticket prices as everyone else, but since I missed the tidal wave of fury yesterday, all I've got to say is that for $750, I should get at least three of them delivered to my hotel room.
If I have to make sense of the specifications of one more digital camera, my head will explode. Also, why can't they make reasonable-sized cameras with an optical zoom over three?
I need to e-mail people about France, my French teacher this semester,saturn92103, crazybutsound, the local CEA program director and my new roommate not the least among them.
