(The picture was taken in Nice on Saturday.)
Wow, two days have gone by since I last posted. Yesterday at school was great. I made myself chit-chat at every break and it was actually quite fun. Like all proper introverts, I really don't like small talk, but I made myself ask people what they did last night and what they'll be dong this weekend and I found myself conversing in french quite comfortably, which is exciting.
The party was last night. Everyone was speaking english. It was fun, the food was incredible. There was so much of it and it was all really special. Different pates, quiches, crudites, probably 20 different cheeses, 10 different desserts, wine... I really enjoy all of the people here. Everyone is very nice, smart, and interesting. We're really having a good time together.
Diane, there was a man at the party playing the accordion. It made me think of you and laugh.
After the party, we went to Monaco. Wow. That place makes Dallas seem like a quaint, charming, small town. We got home around 2, then I had to get up early for a guided tour in Villefranche.
Villefranche is so charming. I can't wait to get my pictures uploaded.
After the tour, we went straight to Nice for the day. The weather is perfect, so it was a great day. We got some flowers, cds and french books. We got a good picture of us all at the sea, I will add it to this posting when I get a cord. There is the funniest girl from Germany who makes us laugh so hard. I need to create postings just for the things she says. For example, the other day, they were discussing some guy and she said she didn't find him attractive because she doesn't like guys with breast hair.
She and another girl from Germany were telling us a story today about how they found a pair of panties in the toilet at school one day - an expensive Swiss brand. First, they told us how a person dropped "his" panties in the toilet. Then, one said that they were "fresh" panties. We are all dumbfounded as to why panties were in the toilet, it will be a mystery that will keep us busy for the whole month, I'm sure.
We were supposed to go out with another group to Nice tonight, but we didn't make it back to Villefranche until after 8 and we're exhausted, so I think we're going to take it easy tonight. I'm looking forward to listening to my new cds.
We tried speaking in French today, but found ourselves speaking English a lot. I made so much progress in the last week and already feel the French slipping away and the English coming back. Oh well, I still have 3 more weeks.
