CURRENT MISSION

I just want to learn some French.

ABOUT ME

I'm a grad student in DC. Raised in California. Born in Nevada. That's all.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, laugh a lot, etc.

"Until you have wasted time in a city, you cannot pretend to know it well. The soul of a big city is not to be grasped so easily; in order to make contact with it, you have to have been bored, you have to have suffered a bit in those places that contain it. Anyone can get hold of a guide and tick off all the monuments, but within the very confines of Paris there is another city as difficult of access as Timbuktu once was." - Julian Green.
