We had planned to go to Nice today, but the weather was awful, so we decided a rainy day would be a bad choice for spending on the coast. We visited Colette for a little while in the morning and then we walked to the bus station in the afternoon to ... Read more >

Today was the day I got to REALLY show Chuck how busy my days of class can be. Even though they are not very hard, they are very time consuming...and the day gets long. Maybe now he'll understand why I can't be writing letters as much as he would like ... Read more >

We wanted to spend the whole day at Mt St-Victoire today, but I had one class that I had to go to and it was in the middle of the day. Almost nothing was accomplished in this class and I was really frustrated that I had wasted half of the day so that ... Read more >

In my history class, we are learning about the black plague, which in French they called "la peste". What a cute name for something so awful. Right now I'm experiencing a little "la peste" myself, though not nearly so severe. Just ... Read more >

Today I had my last
midterm of the week....they were all crammed into the first two days of this

them, were ... Read more >

Today I had two very long exams and then I had teaching at the end of the day. My teaching partner, Mandie, was feeling confident about last week and was hoping it would go so well this week. We both made worksheets, and this week our topic was 'the ... Read more >
