Blog Abroad

Hey guys, I'm back! I didn't post while I was on break because I forgot my charger for my laptop... and this week has been exam week so I haven't had time until today really.

So for vacation:

I went to Marseille with Edison for a week. It was nice in some places and there are some big streets and a lot to see, but there are a LOT of little streets in between everything else. We got lost the first day trying to find city center. We stayed in a mini apartment outside of the city obviously, but it wasn't too far so we wlked some days and took the metro some days. In fact, I didn't enjoy the city very much, but I really enjoyed having a week with Edison. He came back to Aix with me Saturday and we went out to dinner with my language partner, Manon, her new boyfriend  and another American, Emma. After dinner (crepes) we went to a tea house to play monopoly and drink hot cocoa. It was the best night, really. Then Sunday was the heart-wrenching day cause Edison had to leave again. For those who care: I recommend that long-distance relationships have the opportunity to see each other regularly or rarely because seeing each other for varying time periods with months in between is far worse than not having seen him for three months. 

Since then, I overheard two American girls at the bus stop talking about the poor quality of their joints, I took three exams and received the grade for the one before break (which was an A by the way), I spent a lot of time studying, I went to salsa which was easily the hardest dance so far, and tonight I'm going to dinner with Manon and her boyfriend then to open mic night at the tea house.

I have to write my final paper on any subject of French society, but I have to pick one book as my resource for the paper, so I think I will do a paper on French children's literature. But I have to find the book before Friday. I also have to interview a French person before next Friday and I haven't found anybody yet...

I'll try to post pictures before I leave for dinner, but as you know the internet is awful so I may or may not succeed. I'd love to hear from you!

Bisous!
