Day Two Hundred and Ninety-Three:  I’ve gone French for the morning,

This week has been the rebirth of my addiction to 8tracks.com, which commonly happens every fall season when I crave new music (seasonal and the like) or convenient, pre-made playlists for reading/studying/writing/general good times.  I’ve found myself this past week on my parents’ laptop, and so I’ve been disconnected from my itunes.  It was a mutual break, we both thought it was best for a little while, but I’ve found myself having moments of complete silence.  They’re not my favourite, I feel foreign in quiet, and so I’ve come back to 8tracks and found my more ambient self snuggling up with a tea, knitting, reading/writing, and a good playlist.  

This morning I’ve found a lovely “chill”+”morning”+”French” mix.  An unusual taste for me, especially on a tame Sunday morning, but it’s really hit the spot.  It’s just quiet, and indecipherable, and perfect.  I’ve been rereading a novel for my romantic literature class and it’s been talking about the Navy and relations with France and all I want right now is to hitch a ride to Toronto, buy a one-way to the South of France and write.  How perfect would it be so be cuddled in a sweater, converse, aviators, side bag, headphones, fingerless gloves cosy hat apple cider or a glass of wine, a porch on hill looking down at fields of a French countryside.  This soft track in the background, and an open notebook.  It would seem as though I’d enter heaven.  Any way of winning a travel-writing scholarship?  Is that a thing?  I really should look into this.
