Strange Paris Beauty

Today I got lost while trying to get to orientation. This is the second time I’ve been lost since I arrived. I was so frustrated. I am still weak and extremely tried. I feel as though I’ve had the flu for weeks. Getting lost again did not help uplift my spirits.

Anyway, as I wandered around lost, looking for the metro, I passed a sculpture of a giant foot. It was a random sculpture in the middle of an otherwise empty space. It made me smile. Suddenly I realized that everything was going to be all right. I realized that I wasn’t truly lost, only misdirected. And if I hadn’t gotten misdirected, I would not have seen something strangely beautiful. Nothing like a giant foot to help you out when you’re feeling down.
