welcome to Myspace

Dammit Matt, you got me to join. Now you'll be inundated with my stupid observations about life in France and studying with the French elite of tomorrow. Whatevah.

Speaking of which, I didn't know there were riots near Paris until a few days ago. Apparently it's a huge political crisis, but it's not a muslim insurgency, nor is it noticable inside Paris.

In other news, I am now an economics nerd. For anyone that is reading this and hasn't talked to me in a while, I'm working on a masters in economics of international development (of poor countries, or 'underdeveloped' countries in the PC parlance) at the Institute of Political Studies of Paris (Sciences Po). I now have some vague idea of what a standard deviation is, and could maybe do a linear regression of a growth function if I had my notes in front of me.

In other other news, I went to a Brazilian restaurant/club called Favela Chic on Friday night. I was starting to get sick and was only planning to stay for an hour, but we got there at like 12am and I would have had to leave right away to catch the last metro. Oh, and the dj was sweet! It was a crazy mix of hiphop, latin beats, jungle, pop, and whatnot and I danced my ass off for hours. The talking and cigarette smoke and lots of people didn't help with the cold, but then again neither did walking outside all the next day or staying at a birthday party all night the next night. I really need to chill out a bit.

Anyway, I have to go to sleep or read something for class. Damn you Matt, the myspace obsession has begun.
