Sorry long time no update. I’ve had minor issues regarding lost/stolen property, namely iPhones and wallets and the like. No sweat. I’m dealing with everything tomorrow and then heading to Paris on Thursday. SoCal, see you in a few.

The pic above is from the Cabaret tonight. The “Cab” is ESCEM’s version of a talent show, and happens every month. A few friends and I did a little dance, and some other international students sang. The pic above is a bunch of us on stage at some point.

Oh man this is all ending too quickly.

I took this photo today on my way back from class. I must have passed this scene hundreds of times (it’s just up the street from my place), but today I realized how different it looks than when I arrived. The ivy was vibrant and green a couple months ago; now it’s beautifully autumnally hued.

Less than one month til I’m home. There, the plants will still be green.

Touch down in Barcelona. Haven’t yet seen the city in daylight, but I successfully met up with Elaine and Jilly (who apparently almost didn’t make it due to SNCF strikes in France!) and we feasted on tapas and sangria. My flight was delayed due to a faulty right engine, luckily for only one hour. Easyjet, I’m actually impressed. It’s now 2am so I’m off to bed. Oh — I splurged and saw Wicked last night in the West End. You know I loved it!

Video creeping:
Last night in my hostel. Casual rehearsal by the graduates of the Moscow Conservatory.

Then I went out for dinner and drinks with “real” Belgians. Helps to be friends with someone who knows someone who introduces you to someone who lives in some city you visit some time later. Thanks David!

I forgot to take pics on my iPhone today…. There’s plenty on the Canon, however. I shan’t forgot tomorrow. The one I did take was en route from Paris to Brussels: Rain drops slipping across the window and Pete Yorn / Scarlett Johansson in my ears. (Did you know they recorded an album together? I didn’t until today!) It’s almost 7pm in Brussels and all I’ve eaten is waffles. Dinner / beer time!

Here we go
