Why didn't I start this earlier?

Okay.

Here I am in Nantes, and just a few short weeks from finishing this year, during which I really should have recorded my thoughts more. This has been one of the more formative experiences of my life, and I've just been soaking it up emotionally, with very little written correspondence or really anything that will allow me to look back on my time here and remember. Except, you know, for the occasional photo snapped at a dinner party.

I am, however, very much a proponent of the never-too-late school of thought, so here we are.
