Sleeping girl. Rodin Museum. I need to take a nap — but alas, I am about a week behind with updating my posts! I visited la Musée de Rodin last Tuesday. The day was quite gray, but the gardens and collections were still quite inspiring. Apart from seeing the Thinking Man — and subsequent miniature versions, I really enjoyed the breadth of Rodin’s work.

I’ve always found drawing hands to be a great sketching excercise, so I managed to hang out here for a bit — drawing off of Rodin’s work as a model. It was pretty grand! Oh, and while I was there I caught a glimpse of a teensy part of fashion week. They’d managed to set up the tent rigth in the middle of the garden …

    About

    I'm a third year University of Chicago student with a concentration in Political Science and a minor in French Language and Literature. In the Winter of 2009, I'll fulfill my dream of studying abroad in Paris, with an enrollment in a ten-week social sciences program.

    I've always been passionate about La Ville-Lumiere, and I'll try to take in as much of this magnificent city as I can ... naturally with camera in hand & blogging on my mind.

    I hope you enjoy my sometimes ramblings as I try to jot down my manifold experiences. If you're so inclined, you could even buy me a croissant!

    Contact

    You can try to reach me via skype, but an e-mail would be just as nice. For the really ambitious, I also have an mailing address at my dormitory:

    Agnes Mazur
    Cité Universitaire
    Maison des Provinces de France
    55 Boulevard Jordan #259
