Yesterday, Facebook informed me that it was St. Patrick’s
Day (not that I didn’t remember on my own).
It was hard to tell from where I was though. After talking to a classmate of mine today
who works at Fitzpatrick’s Irish pub in downtown Montpellier, apparently things
were more exciting there than in sleepy St.-Jean-de-Vedas. I did however get some homework done and went
to a matinée with my host dad and brother to see Cloud Atlas. It was in
French, but I was still able to follow it pretty well. I highly recommend it for its unique approach
to storytelling and sheer ambition. The
Wachowski siblings and Tom Tykwer created a truly unique film, which is
jam-packed full of stars: Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving,
and more. The movie features six
plotlines that weave in and out of each other in a truly remarkable way,
connecting six very widely dispersed times and places. Each of the stars plays several roles
throughout the chronology and it is very interesting to see them crop up in
each narrative.
Today I had classes, which weren’t all bad. I had an exam in my internship course that
went well and after that the day passed well enough. I am currently in the process of writing my
radio pieces for later this week.
