White Paris

First of all, Harry Potter was awesome last night. I didn't want it to end.

It's been lightly snowing in Paris for like 12 hours now. The flakes are the biggest I've ever seen, and so perfect. Some of them literally look like the symmetrical paper cut outs kids make. (Sometimes college kids, too...503).

Before I go off to Italy, another terrible thing that happened yesterday: In French, "baisser" means to lower and "baiser" means to fuck. In my presentation yesterday for my Sciences Po class, I forgot an s, so I wrote that "France is fucking its nuclear arsenal". My teacher was just like "...uh, you know it needs an extra s, otherwise it means something else..." I tried to brush it off because I didn't want to deal with another awkward sex joke from a teacher in one day. Painful.
