Happy Wednesday!

So I'm just sitting at school listening to my Colombian friend Sara talk to some other guy. It's hilarious, because half the things she says are in Spanish and the other half are in French, and she'll switch mid-sentence. I can't imagine how that might sound to someone who doesn't know Spanish. She keeps telling me to speak Spanish with her and I keep saying no. I'm such a pain.

So I have 27 days left in France (that's counting today and not counting the 21st of December, because I'm sure I'll be on planes all day that day). It is definitely bittersweet. I can't wait to go home. But I don't want to leave knowing there is something or several things I haven't done. So next Wednesday when I don't have classes I'm going to go downtown and take pictures of Pau, because I like pictures... I hope it's a sunny day.

I joined a Facebook group that was created by some of the people who are going to be in Spain with me. Everyone's posting on the group wall saying how scared they are to go to Spain. That's sort of how I felt three or four months ago, I completely understand how they feel... Regardless of the fact that I can't wait to go home now though, I really can't wait to go to Spain either. Alicante is going to be beautiful and meeting new people will be nice. Not that there's anything wrong with the people here! But still.

My family left my poor geranium outside to die this winter. Sad, it made for a very pretty blog header. I guess it's alright, it didn't really like the last winter that it spent indoors. Plants can be replaced.

This afternoon I'm meeting with one of the French students. She's supposed to be helping me be less shy. Poor girl, they're asking a lot from her with only three weeks of the semester left. She's gonna need probably 3 years to succeed in that one.
