Tonight I rode home on a Velib for the first time. Let's just say that for the first time since my arrival two weeks ago I felt at home and 'in my skin' here. After all the headaches and red-tape of setting up my life I think I can finally say that my life here is now established.
My second class today was 'Living, Thinking, and Staging Revolutions' taught by this man . Again, I continue to be massively impressed with the quality of the teaching staff here. The 'conceit' of the class is that it blends theatre, political philosophy, and history to examine the concept of revolution; which he claims has been the subject of political philosophy over the past two hundred years. Suffice it to say I have instantly fallen in love with this class. If the girls in this class didn't develop an instant crush on him I would be SHOCKED.
After class I got to ride a bike home at night for the first time. What a joy! The streets were fairly deserted as I got out of class at 21h30. Followed the Seine past the Musee D'Orsay, Les Invalides, Pont Alexandre, L'Assemble National, and finally the Eiffel Tower before finally crossing over to the right bank and docking my bike and walking home. Total travel time 25 minutes! Life is definitely calming down now and I couldn't be happier. More classes tomorrow!
