Peter, I got your whimsically wax-sealed letter (finally checked my mail box!) in the mail, consider this great news for your dowry! Ugh, you are amazing, it completely made my day. Expect exotic return kisses via the postal system. :)

So I started Epitech today to earn some solid €€€ on the side, and I used my first class as an excuse to take the frenchies to the Luxembourg Gardens. The sun was out, everything that could have been in bloom was overdoing it, my skin was fully exposed to every harmful ray peeking through the gaping holes in the now defunct ozone barrier, the fountains were spraying nostalgic memories of 2006 Paulinascapades, and the day was completely beautiful. I really do love Paris.

I feel like I’ve seen such an overwhelming amount of natural beauty in the past half year that I just want to spoon the earth all night long, and I thought that maybe everyday beautiful sights might become unimpressive, but the Jardins were looking as crisp and ideal as ever.
