I slept in a bit today because we didn't have orientation until 2pm.. yay! I found out though that you can never get enough sleep :( Went to my baker today, love her, planning to befriend her in the upcoming months... Went to orientation, felt like 9am instead of 2pm thank you jetlag, and it went on for a while, and before I knew it it was 6pm and dark. We got a tour of the university which was nice... it's very compact, even moreso than Marquette. Gorgeous thoug...

Woke up this morning to my alarm (no sadly I did not get to sleep in) and I realized I made it through day 1. Woah. Yesterday I was superhuman. Thank you Jesus. Today I was more myself- did my morning routine in my apartment that had towels and everything, how cool. I stopped by the nearby bakery for a pain au chocolat... 1 euro... AKA that'll be my daily breakfast. I walked to school for registration where I met many nice friends and figured out some class stuff...

Wow. What a day. Oh my. I count today starting yesterday, waking up early for Mass, eating donuts with the fam, then going to CVS to treat my pink eye that had appeared that morning.

Flying by yourself is kinda ******* an overnight flight I found out... No one to snuggle with to distract from the fact that you're...

Today is my last day :( I slept in and Claire and I had pastries in front of the TV. After scratching our mosquito bites for a while, we played Wii Fit and then stepped it up to badminton outside. However, it got kinda hot, so we moved back inside and I started to pack. Then it was lunchtime and we made our own salads. It was a very refreshing meal on a summer day. For dessert we tried the various sweets that Jean got from Spain. After eating, we checked in for m...

We woke up early this morning to leave Collioure and go back to Sermaise. We left at about 8:00 and got home at 3:00. I think I slept one hour in the car. We had ham sandwiches when we got home, and then tapped into the wifi we've been missing. Then came dinner. We had grilled lamb and freshly picked green beans. Anne and Laure had made a pie for dessert, and it was delicious, though they thought it was just alright. I was very very satisfied. After that, Claire ...
