In The Mornings

...I feel pretty peaceful. Despite the fact that for the past couple of days I've been awoken to drills and hammers from the next apartment where apparently a huge project is going on, yes, I still feel peaceful. My body is just a lot more recharged here, and I know its thanks to the healthier lifestyle I've managed to have since being here. Even with all the wine and yummy things, my tummy has flattened, my legs feel firmer. I know that's purely due to the fact I am eating much less at every meal and I walk EVERYWHERE, and I'm surprised I don't mind it that much. I sleep earlier and better, and wake up at a consistent time. If I'm already feeling a difference from all of this, I really hope that I can continue this routine when I come home.

This morning I have to rush a little. I need to print my photos for our first in class evaluation. I am a little nervous because I've never had my pictures judged by anyone other than my Facebook friends, and usually all those get is a "OMG! Good times girl!!!". Hally will probably be a little tougher. Tomorrow morning though, I want to start going to the Tuilerie Gardens for a project for my other class. We are supposed to examine a space in Paris and observe how that space is used. We've already done this a couple of times (at Hotel de Ville and that awful 40 minutes in Barbes), so I will be interested to see how this differs. If I could spend a good 45 minutes to an hour there everyday before class, I think I should be able to find some good things.

It looks like I will be pretty busy in the mornings from now on. Now that a week and a half has already past, I am beginning to learn there is truly no time to waste while I'm here!
