Recap, Fun-cap!

So...I am bored and procrastinating from trying to study for my compétences écrites test in a few hours. What have a decided to do? I decided to fill you all in on the randomness that has been my life for the last few weeks.

So hold on tight!

February 20th-26th:

Monday the 20th- BLT's are possible to make in France people!!! Well, I mean there isn't true bacon like there is back in the states. But we did find what I would consider to be Canadian bacon-esque. So we (Emily, Lukas, Samantha and I) made the French version of BLT's with avocado and, of course, brie cheese.

Tuesday the 21st- Had my first lunch with the director of our program M. Melin with the ladies of ISU and Niagara University. A legit five course meal in the teacher's cafeteria that we don't have to pay for? I'll take that. I also finally put up my usually photo display of everyone back at home. Now I have those who I care about loving faces starring down at me. Oh, and I must not forget that it was MARDI GRAS!!!! Mardi Gras isn't really celebrated that much here in France, but that didn't stop us. We (Lukas, Chris, Agata, Samantha and I) went to Emily's house to make crêpes filled with all sorts of yummy delicious things. We were determined to make the most out of this holiday!

Wednesday the 22nd- My translation class was cancelled in the morning. Too bad we all have to find this out at the university since it seems France doesn't like to email its students when classes are cancelled. So what do we do? Turn around go home and catch up on sleep! I also had my first etude sociocuturelle class and lets just say...yeah...

Thursday the 23rd- Definitely a pretty chill day. Nothing really out of the ordinary other than having my typical Skype lunch/dinner date with Theo.

Friday the 24th- I loved waking up and getting to see the faces of some of my favorite sisters and some of my favorite FarmHouse boys. Great way to start the day! And then to end the day watching part of the César Awards which can be best described as France's version of the Oscars. I guess it was a good substitute for not being able to watch the actually Oscars for the first time in forever on Sunday.

Saturday the 25th- Excursion #2 with CIDEF :) We spent the day checking out all that St Malo and Mont St. Michel had to offer. And might I add this this is the second excursion with blah weather out. I really hope that the next one to Normandy has nice weather out or I really may cry. I'll make a post possibly later on with pictures from the two. I just have so many ranging from walking on the ramparts of St. Malo to the heaven of a chocolate shop to the street call "The Dancing Cat" to climbing all the way to the top of Mont St. Michel to so many random pictures of love.

Sunday the 26th- This day was spent sleeping my life away plus Skype dates with the family, the best friend, Miss Brittany Herzovi and of course Beka. A good way to be filled in on all the gossip back home :)

February 27th- March 2nd:

Monday the 27th- I don't like Mondays. I have all but one class on Monday and I barely get any time to eat anything for lunch. It's just busy, busy, busy.

Tuesday the 28th- Weekly lunch with M. Melin. And doing all of my homework so that I can spend all of tomorrow late afternoon and night having my last Skype/FaceTime session with Theodore.

Wednesday the 29th- LEAP DAY! This felt like the longest yet shortest day ever. I think this is because I knew at the end of the day I would be seeing/hearing Theo for one of the last times. It was a sad yet happy moment to spend so long of a time just starring at a computer...as oddly as that sounds.

Thursday the 1st- Theo leaves :( See previous post for yesterday's recap.

Today the 2nd- I was woken up by Theo calling me on FaceTime to tell me that he landed safe and sound after his flight being an hour late. It was the fastest chat ever and I was slightly asleep still butt it was so great to know that he got to Texas safe (love you babe!). And now I am just waiting to take my test. Then, a big study session with a group that seems to be growing in size followed by a trip to the supermarché because I need groceries followed by pizza for dinner! And then sleep early because Nantes is tomorrow. Yeeeeeee!

So yeah...a good 30 minutes just wasted on writing this. Haha. I'll work with that.

Hope you all have a good weekend!

Bisou, bisou!
