This has been a really great week! I took 2 tests, both of which seemed to go well, and the rest of my courses went smoothly. Wednesday night was another fun night at the French-English conversation exchange, and I also found out that the Christmas market in Montpellier should be up and running soon! Thursday afternoon, Eliza and I walked around the city in search of inspiration for gifts to send to our families. We discovered that the mall is nicely decorated, and most importantly, there are copious amounts of Christmas chocolate, all of which I want to try. On Friday, Courtney and I went to a movie called "Intouchables" (or "Untouchable" in English), and it was the best film I've seen in a long time. If you get a chance, it is definitely worth watching. Here's a link for the movie trailer:

After, we saw another cinematic masterpiece, the 4th installment of Twilight. That night we enjoyed some kebabs and fries, wine, and sex and the city.
On Saturday I spent a good chunk of my day planning my trip for Christmas break, while talking through everything with my parents on Skype. They are the best! I now have my train tickets to Interlaken, Switzerland, and have my hostels for Interlaken, Munich and Paris booked. It's a huge relief to have most of the planning out of the way :). That night, I went to Casey's apartment where he Darren and I watched 2 horror movies on Netflix-- "The Craft" and "Case 39".
Today I slept in, ate lunch with my host mom for the first time in 5 days, as she's been sick, and did some grammar homework while watching more Sex and the City. I was supposed to go for a hike, but it was canceled due to rain. All in all, it's been a really great week! I can't believe how quickly this semester is coming to an end, seriously. I am very glad I decided to stay here for the entire school year. :)
