There is no possible way for me to make up for missing out on posts for the past month, but if I don't resume now, it is unlikely that I ever will. The demand for these posts is more than I had expected and I apologize for trailing off as I did- there is no real explanation other than the more time passed between posts, the less I wanted to go back to posting, not knowing where to start. Here are some bits about my past month, in reverse chronoloogical order, just to make things interesting.
-Saw "La Visite de la Fanfare" at a movie theater, less music than I expected, but at least my curiousity has ben settled after seeing the movie posters in the Metros for the past month.
-Christopher Vernon Stegeman (boyfriend) departed Paris after a wonderful 6 day stay.
-Saw "Les Trois Soeurs" (a play by Chekhov) with Mme C and Christopher, very enjoyable, but performed in French and I will probably read it in English to pick up what I missed the first time.
-Christopher arrived in Paris.
-New Years Eve on the Champs Elysées, along with several million other people. First time to a Parsian nightclub on New Years Eve too.
*New Years Resolution- read the first volume of Proust's "A La Recherche des Temps Perdus"
-Hung around with friends from the US, Shane and Dave. Ate several crepes.
-Celebrated Christmas with friemds from Paris, John and Ruthie, and ate lasagna.
-Finished classes at IES!
-Hellish finals and wrote many pages of papers in French. Harder than I expected, but not unmanageable.
Most of December was spent waiting for finals and the break to come and I can't really remember the details, except for going to see a Moliere play (Les Precieuses Ridicules) at La Comedie Francaise. Very very funny.
I look forward to coming back to the states very shortly- tomorrow will be my last day in Paris and I fly out on Friday afternoon. I anticipate a very happy reunion of family and friends.
This is all for now and I will try my hardest to keep this blog more up to date to satisfy my readers/mother.

Glad to hear it sounds you're having an enjoyable stay in Paris (was starting to wonder after such a lull in posts, but it was assumed all is well).
PS lemme know how the Crepes in Paris stack up to ones in the states...I love Crepes (especially blueberry!)
