Jude Law And A Semester Abroad

I haven't updated this in a while because this has become my life now and I feel as things aren't new and exciting anymore. I know you would still like to hear about my weeks and adventures but there isn't really anything to update. Not a lot has been going on lately, mainly going to school and then going out with friends on the weekends.

Last week I had 3 tests which weren't exactly fun. The first one was in Langue Orale and I also had a presentation on work differences between France and the states. Grant and I worked on the presentation together. It ended up being about 20 minutes when we were done presenting, it was pretty awesome haha. We got our tests back today in this class and I got 8.5/10 which isn't too bad. My other tests were in translation (french-english) and langue écrite. The translation test wasn't TOO bad but I can't say I did awesome. Hopefully we get that test back tomorrow so I can see how I did. Langue écrite on the other hand, I do not want to get back because I probably got a 2 on it. I did not feel very confident about it.

We had to read an article and answer questions which weren't too difficult. Then we had to write a fake complaint about an apartment that "I had rented" but wasn't as amazing as the advertisement had said. That wasn't too bad except the making up a story part of it. The third section was grammar, which I love so that was easy.. The last part killed me though... We had to re-write two paragraphs and write them in past tenses but it's not as easy as it sounds. I don't know.. each section had it's rough patches, overall I think I failed it. Oh well, life goes on.

My social life here in France has kind of died out... but that's just my luck right? The weekends will hopefully start getting better and we have a break coming up in April so we have to start planning for that. Sierra and I want to go to Barcelona and Italy. We'll see how that works out. In May, Sierra, Mamie, Aaron and I are going to Ireland!!! We are all SO excited. We are flying there and the tickets were 33€ round trip :D

I would also like to say that I watched 5 seasons of How I Met Your Mother in two weeks. Not exactly proud of how big of a loser I am but like I said... there's no reason to go out on the weekends anymore...

vous me manquezzzzz! :(
