I've been getting back into my school routine this week, so that's always fun. I had all my regular classes, a bit of homework, and of course my internship which is going quite well! Last week I taught the students body parts as well as the song "head, shoulders, knees and toes", so that was a lot of fun. I really like working with 3-4 year olds because they're pretty cute, but definitely prefer the older (6-7) year olds, since they actually listen and retain a lot of what I teach them from week to week.
I didn't do much outside of my classes this week-- I didn't even go to the conversation exchange, which I normally do. I have gotten to be outside and reading a lot though, which has been fantastic! For the past couple weeks, it has been sunny and around 60 degrees, so I hope the weather stays like this. On Friday night, I went out with some friends, and then Saturday, Darren, Robert and I watched movies on Netflix all afternoon. That night, my host parents had a dinner party with a few people, so we ate Rocklette (basically cheese fondue) over potatoes and various types of meat, followed by salad and dessert, which was fruit and cookies. Today, my host parents took me to a little beach town just 20 minutes out of Montpellier, where they went golfing, and I sat on the beach and finished my homework and read more Harry Potter. I would call it a pretty successful sunday all in all.
So I really want to see the movie "The Artist" now, as there has been a ton of hype about it both in the United States and in France. The French are extremely proud that the movie won best picture and that a French actor one best actor at the oscars. On another cultural note, the New York Times rated Montpellier as the best French city! I must be pretty lucky to live here. :). I couldn't find the NY Times article, but I did find a French article about it:

Anyway, that's all I really have to talk about for now! I have nothing big planned for this next week, just school as usual.
