So here I am again in my school's library. In France, that is. I'm quite glad to have internet access, though I must say the school's website is... Okay, I'll get to that in a minute.

First off, I've been having a grand ol' time with my camera. We went on an excursion to Strasbourg/Alsace over the weekend, and during the two days that we were there, I took 597 photos. Definitely a record for me. I probably didn't even take that many in the last four years that I was using my old camera.

Anyway, I got a lot of photos, and a few of them even merit some artistic appreciation (though some of them were taken purely for touristy reasons). And now that I've got a few of them touched up and stuff in Photoshop, I'm going to start posting them here.

It's worth noting that the adjustments I've made to these pictures (mostly levels, brightness/contrast, saturation, etc.) were made on my laptop, which doesn't have the best screen in the world. Its colors only seem to look right from a couple of very particular angles, and I'm not even sure if those are any good compared to "real" displays. So if they turn out exceedingly dark/light/ugly/etc., it's because there's nothing I can do about it on this computer. It's not because I have weird artistic vision or because I'm incompetent, etc., I swear...

But back on the subject of my school's website, it's terrible. I guess I'm just spoiled from Lewis & Clark, or maybe my French is just really bad and I'm not seeing something that's right in front of me, but I can't find the course catalog for the life of me. It's rather aggravating, if I do say so myself. But one day I shall conquer it, and it shall be pwned. You'll see...

And on a parting note, I like Nutella. It is a brilliant substance. And they have way more of it here than back home. I found a jar of 1500 grams, but I decided against getting it, as the next size down, 875 grams, was less than half the price (3.49 euro; now I'm curious how much it costs in the States... anyone out there know?).

Okay, that's all. Goodbye, good luck, and gesundheit.
