As the road winds on...: Paramedics, Pardons, and Photo Shows.

So,
I had a pretty ridiculously awful weekend. Aside from getting to wander around in the rain downtown by myself for 3 hours, I also spilled water in my purse and nearly destroyed my camera and Zune (still waiting to see if it wakes up.)
Then on my way home to dry them out, I was harassed by 6 guys on the metro, and I was by myself, needless to say I made it home. But it was less then fun.

Then I went to bed and was pretty much as sick as it gets. Woke up in the morning, went into the bathroom, and that's the last thing i really remember until Kristina Liz and Evan found me on the floor in the bathroom about an hour later. Apparently it was just low blood pressure or something, I knew I was ok. But no one else really did, and they called the paramedics...
Yeah Paramedics speaking French. It was a blast.

Yeah, so I haven't really been much of anywhere the last few days. However (trying to make the best of this weekend) Here is a list of the good things that have happened.

1st. I have been making my own... gifts(?) to send to people.
2nd. I made it to the post office to send them without getting lost.

3rd. The Daffodils that Meg and Kristina brought me yesterday while I was sick :D (The each brought me a bunch separately)

4. THE ART EXHIBITION!

"The Substance of Memory: American Drawings & Photos in Paris, 2010
Memory is the material of our identity. Whether collective or individual, memories constitute who we are and who we hope to become. Moreover, memory is always significantly linked to specific places and times, to locations and moments when lives intersect.
In this sense, art has a unique interest in ‘the substance of memory.’ As Rowan Williams writes, the artist always “is responding to some formal life or activity sensed and answered in the appearances she encounters; and it is a formal life or activity constantly on the edge of abandoning its phenomenal shape so as to be reshaped in another medium.”
This exhibition attempts to give diverse material expression – in drawing, collage and photography - to this ‘formal life’ of memory, as experienced by a group of art students from Point Loma Nazarene University in California who lived in Paris for 2 months, many of who had not previously traveled in Europe.
Please enjoy ‘the substance of memory,’ and incorporate these images of the materially mediated past into your own experience of Paris in the present."

So yeah.. all of our art work is on display in a gallery for the week :D
