It’s a small world, after all

            At Marchutz (the art school I’m attending here, in Aix) we’ve been working off of a model, practicing figure drawing. It’s been a wonderful and intensive exercise that has been really rewarding.

            After class the other day I was talking to the model, Pauline, about my life in Burlington. She told me her boyfriend goes to UVM and I faintly recognized the name. It’s a big school so I assumed I didn’t know him and continued to reminisce about my favorite restaurants in Burlington. Later on that afternoon she was saying something about her boyfriend wearing a baseball cap and I immediately thought of a photo project my friend had done of his housemates last year, all in baseball caps. I asked to see a photo of him and it indeed was one of the housemates who lived in my college house before me! She couldn’t believe that I lived at 9 Booth! Of course, I travel all the way to France and find someone who practically lived in my house back in the states! The world has never seemed so small.
