last weekend i went to aix-en-provence, france where my friend john is studying. it sucked at first because i was sick for the first 3 days, but i still enjoyed being there. it´s a nice town, and i got to use my french!!

one of my favorite things was meeting people in the hostel where i stayed. i met a girl from england and a boy from sweden who came to study french. i also met a girl from taiwan who is travelling on her own after studying in england for a year. ¡qué bueno! i got to practice my french and chinese (and english, haha) all in one trip.

one day we went to cassis, where there is a pebbly beach.

nosheen, the girl i met from england, is from Nottingham (i.e. robin hood!). she told me about the town and how sherwood forest is there and the big tree and the castle and other old stuff from robin hood times, and i really want to go there. i also want to go to paris. i also want to go back to france after i graduate from college and become fluent in french...

i also want to do a lot of things.

this past weekend, i went on a cava trip with my program. cava is spanish champagne. we went to a big manufacturer (cordoniu) and a small private one where they do everything by hand. it was cool because we took tours and learned how cava is made.

anywho, it´s midterms week here (a concept i´m very unfamiliar with back at sarah lawrence), so that means i have to study!

smell ya later!
