Only one more month.....

Well, it's been a month since I've written and a month until I leave, so I guess now is an appropriate time to let you know what's going on. Right after finals, which went very well, I left for England to visit three friends in three cities in three days. Yes, I'm crazy. One day is not nearly enough for London; I'll definitely have to go back sometime. Being at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre was really incredible. We even got to go on stage, which is incredibly rare, so that was quite a treat. I met up with Gary in the evening for fish and chips for dinner (delish!) and we tried to make it to see a show, but it didn't end up happening. So we had some pizza and drinks and ice cream and watched.....oh I don't even remember the name, that ice skating movie with Will Ferell (can't spell) and Jon Heder. I stayed in his flat that night and left bright and early the next morning for Bath.



Bath was very pretty. It hasn't really been architecturally modernized, so all the buildings were really great. I did end up getting to see a play there with Sarah. I was excited about it being in English, about being able to relax and not have to worry about understanding, but the accents were so thick it was just as difficult as if it had been in French! I got to have English breakfast, which was so greasy but so good.

The next morning I went to Oxford, where Paul and I walked around all day in the misty rain. I saw the place where Radiohead first played and the building where the Great Hall of the Harry Potter movies is filmed. I then headed back to Paris for a couple days of relaxation before Brielle and Kelly came to visit.


Brielle and some friends from her program in Madrid got in on Halloween and I went to meet them at the Charles de Gaulle airport. She was so absolutley pooped we just had dinner and talked and then went to bed. Kelly got here on Friday evening and I spent the weekend showing them around Paris. We hung out with Yohan some, too, which was an absolute riot. We laughed all weekend long. They left early Monday morning and I had to go in for my first day at my internship. There's an interesting story to go along with that, but considering some other people's experiences with talking about their internships online, I'll have to leave that for another time. In short, I'm getting a new internship and I had two interviews today and I have one tomorrow, so I'll be at a new place on Monday! I'm actually waiting for one of the companies to call me back right now.









Well, I'm off to Thanksgiving dinner at the program director's house. Remind me to tell you all about choir, cause it's the best. Ciao, bisous!
