The day has been extremely productive. Everyone is getting a bit frantic with deadlines, and the fact that we leave for weekend trips on Wednesday. I'll be going to Barcelona Wednesday, and London next Thursday, which I'm not looking forward to with the current security level, but perhaps it will make the trip safer? Barcelona we'll be with Professors, but London it'll just be the four of us together trying to see the world-rather trying to survive the world from the way the news media has been painting it lately. Lacoste has not been friendly to relationships. Here or ones back in the states, but I'm a believer in the whole 'for everything there is a season' idea. Some things just have to happen. I have also been looking for an internship for the summer, which has so far not gone well, yet I remain hopeful.

It's gotten colder and cloudier all day, which makes for a good day of research.I'm uploading some random leftover pictures, and I am confident that tomorrow will get better, while overall I am in France, where even a bad day is a good one. -enough procrastination-back to the papers.
