Random Weekend Entry

So I thought I should note from this weekend, most of it was spent working, so nothing too exciting:
1.) I had a 4 incompatible cheese pizza with John and Sam. It had circles of brie, melted goat cheese, mozzarella and cheese X. Not meant to be.
2.) I hung out with Nina and Lance, they eat non-stop.
3.) I tried for the third time to go to Opera Garnier for a tour and/or an opera. All the students’ tickets were gone, and all that was left were overpriced seats where you can’t see the stage. The tour was full already, so I’ll have to wait until the tourist season dies down.
4.) Nina, Lulu, Monica and I briefly went to Marais, but I was a total party pooper and turned in early to work.
5.) Totally missed Samar, who coincidentally was arriving at my dorm as I was leaving.
6.) I found an awesome paper topic that ties into my thesis (thanks Lance and Nina). I haven’t refined it yet, but I hope to write about how the Church has a tradition of “creating” enemies throughout the era we have studied, similar to how a declining state powers acts when they feel that their power is waning.
7.) Yili is an amazing cook.
8.) Reading Machiavelli on a beautiful day in a park surrounded by happy families and their babies seems highly inappropriate.
That is all to report from Sage’s non-weekend.
