un week-end a Pari


This weekend was some what non-eventful. I was feeling pretty tired so I spent a lot of time at home trying to rest. On Friday I made my way over to the American library in preperation for my next paper. The library is really not impressive. It kind of looks like a prison, a very small prison. There are a lot of books smushed into a very small building and the ceiling is maybe 12 feet high (for 2 floors). I was really suprised, it looked like it was from 1970 and nothing had been updated since. VERY...UN-PARIS. Any who, when I make the Dolla Billz I will pay to update the janky library. So I checked out the only 2 books they had on supply chain managment. I also got over to the San Francisco bookstore, an American bookstore. It was cute, very crowded with books and I hadnt realized it was a used bookstore (nothing is wrong with used, but if you are looking for a particular book, they are unreliable with what is in stock). So I was a little disappointed. I did today manage to get over to an English bookstore "the red wheel barrow" which was realllllly cute! The owner is a lady in her mid 40's and she knew about every book they had. They didnt have the one I was looking for but she recommended another that I bought instead, as well as a "Paris walking tour" book so I can go on tours of neighborhoods. It looked like it should be Devon's bookstore :-) I started walking around the Marais, where the bookstore was, and it was really cool. It is one of the districts that is almost 100% preserved, so the buildings are all original. It is also the jewish quater so there were tons of Jewsih backeries and sandwhich shops (i wishhhed I could eat one). There seemed to be alot of people, I'm not sure if they were tourists or if because the Jewish quarter--people arent in church on Sunday. In any case, it was VERY cool, and I need to do more exploring there. My professor from my last class hasnt posted the paper topic yet, so I havent been able to work on it. I emailed him asking for it-- letting him know, that for personal reasons I wont be able to work on it later so I need the topic so I can get started (personal reasons being that I would like to get it done :-)).
