This past weekend, I went on a three day trip with my boyfriend, Alex. We wanted to go to Marseille, and Alex brought up the idea of making a stop in Nîmes and seeing the Pont du Gard. He showed me a picture of the grand bridge and I was right on board with the plan!To make the most of our one day in Nîmes, we caught a bus in Grenoble at 6:30... This of course meant I had to wake up shortly after 5:00am, which was not an easy feat! My tired state didn't help ...

It's been awhile since I last posted, so I thought it would be about time to put another update on my life abroad into the virtual atmosphere. Easter came and went here, a little too fast for my liking... but the long weekend was much appreciated! At first, I was really sad that I was missing out on the Family Easter back home with everyone coming over, and me not being included. I wish I could've been there to see my brother and my grandparents. My Easter wee...

This weekend, I went to Nice to meet up with my friend, Christine. Christine is a Guelph student currently on exchange in Poitiers, France.

Today marks two months that I have been in Grenoble! I can't believe how fast time has flown by already!! Two months into school and the work load is picking up a bit, so a bit of added stress on that front. On top of that, I've made lots of friends who are always doing cool things and inviting me along. I have to be conscientious of my homework as it always drifts to the back of my mind when someone proposes any sort of non-school activity. I have just over a...

A very tired me (sporting a swiss-made watch) has just returned to my Grenoble home. It's weird to think that this is my home base now and that I'm coming back from all the excitement of my break to my new French life. It's so sad that the trip is over. We had such a good time last night partying literally right beside the Moulin Rouge until the wee early hours of the morning. After four hours of sleep, I said goodbye to everyone. So sad to leave "Team Gusto" ...
