Lazy Sunday

You know you have great family when they are sincerely concerned about your sex life.

I apologize profusely to my parents (especially my mom) for that statement, but it takes one great family to actively stay in contact when we are all separated by such great distance, and as I sit here looking out my window, I find myself appreciating it. As far as the first statement goes, you know who you are and thanks for asking.

As far as an answer to the question goes, I will simply say that it is non-existent. This because Miranda and I are trying to maintain what semblance of a relationship we can despite being separated by thousands of miles and an incredibly inconvenient 10 hour time difference. However, we are both having fun and staying in contact as much as possible. But it sucks, and I miss her.

On a slightly less depressing and infinitely less cute note, I have been spending alot of time with friends of mine in another program here at Paris. There are 3 kids in the program who go to U of R, including my roommate of the last 2 and a half years, Bill. Bill and I have been sharing each other's friends for the past couple weeks, and I find that his group of friends and mine are very compatible. I know it sounds trivial, but it does get very lonely here sometimes and being able to surround yourself with people takes some of the edge off. And it's cheaper than drowning the loneliness in a pint...healthier too.

I wish I had much more to say, but the past few days have been generally uneventful and punctuated with class and states of mild intoxication (not at the same time...well, not yet). I hope the next post will bring something more grabbing and less traumatizing to my family.

Ciao
