It's Sunday at 5pm and I've only been out of my apartment once to grab a few things from the grocery store. It's a beautiful day, finally, so it's a shame that I've been inside all day, but the view is amazing, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.
For the last few days, I've left the apartment in the morning with the intention of only being out for a couple of hours, and then I don't get home until late at night. I didn't get out of bed today until after noon.
There's not too much to report, it's just more of the same. This is probably going to be a boring post.
After school on Friday, I went to a savonerrie to buy some soap. An adorable little old french lady makes the soap in the back room. She took me back there and showed me how she does it.
After class, the other 9 students in my class and I met for a drink to say Bon Voyage to one of the students who was only doing the class for 2 weeks and Friday was his last day. Then I had a great dinner in Villefranche with a couple of my girlfriends. Yesterday, we went to Nice again for the day for more shopping. The girl from Germany came, so there was a lot of laughing involved.
I bought a french dictionary and some french books that were recommended to me as great literature, but also easy for someone like me to read. Well, I started on one of them today and it took me about an hour to read 2 pages. Luckily for me, the book is very short.
On Friday afternoon, our professor told us to get ready for the next two weeks, because the pace is going to pick up significantly. Wha?!? I'm not quite sure how that's possible. I had gotten so proud of myself that I could understand almost all of what they were saying, I can't believe that they're actually going to start talking faster.
