10.02.2012

The last couple of weeks have been pretty normal, and good overall! School is the same, going well, and not too much homework, but a little to keep me in line :). My favorite class is turning out to be my art history course, because I get to see interesting paintings and other pieces of art from various periods throughout history, and I would not otherwise be learning as much about any of these periods! It's a lot of fun. I also love my culture class, which discusses current events in France. We watched a movie called "The Prophet", a film about a young Arab man who gets thrown into jail, and all the various politics among different groups of prisoners (predominantly Arabs and Corsicans). It's very violent and hard to watch at times, but very well done and I would recommend it to anyone.
Last weekend, I didn't really do much. I went over to my friends Robert and Andre's apartment. It was a good night, filled with horror movies, dancing and making crepes. A couple nights ago (Tuesday), I went over to Darren's house with Casey and we had a "superbowl party", which consisted of watching the halftime show and eating lots of junkfood and perhaps drinking beer. Perfect. The next night, as usual, I went to the Vert Anglais and had a lot of good conversations in French with other foreign and French students. :). Last night was pretty relaxed, and Darren, Robert, Andre and I watched some quality 90s tv shows (mostly Buffy), and drinking lots of tea. Today (Friday), I'm going to stay in for the night and go to bed early, because tomorrow I might be going ice skating, and tomorrow night am for sure going over to a Hungarian friend's apartment in the evening.
Darren, Casey and I leave for Geneva, Amsterdam, Prague, and a half-day in Lyon on Thursday!!! I absolutely cannot wait! It's going to be such a blast, and I can't think of anyone here who I would rather traavel with. I'll try to update this one more time before my trip, and then after I won't update until I get home to Montpellier. I hope everyone has a happy Valentines Day, and thank you mom and dad and Grandma Barb for the package and cards!! It was all really nice. :)
