Le semestre est fini!
As of this afternoon, I’m a semester away from graduating from Georgia Tech! I was up all last night and finally finished our Flash presentation this afternoon with about an hour to spare. The jurors at our presentation seemed to really like our research, ideas, and general level of work so hopefully that bodes well for my grades this semester. (I won’t complain too much if Santa brings me my 4.0!!!)
Brian, one of the student missionaries on my team in Senegal a couple years back, arrived this morning to spend the next few days here in Paris with me. He’s on his way back to the U.S. after a week-long stay in Senegal planning for a trip he’ll lead there this summer. He brought greetings from everyone back in Ndiaganiao - however many hundred of people that is. It’s been good so far just to catch up on how things are in Africa and what Brian’s been up to.
Tomorrow we’re thinking about seeing some of the sites around town. I’m looking forward to finally getting out and doing some of those quintessential touristy things that anyone who’s lived in Paris this long should already have done by now! (I figured I’d wait till I had visitors before hitting the highlights.) Just to note, I haven’t been in the Louvre, or up the Eiffel Tower, or cruising along the Seine yet. But now, let the fun begin!
