Christmas!

Oh. My god.

So, I felt a little bad today because I skipped all my classes. I probably shouldn't have done that.  I can't even say I made up for it by doing something productive--I stayed home most of the day.  However, around 4pm I decided to go downtown and find something to eat and maybe wander around a bit.  I should have taken a camera, but I forgot.

This little town that I am living in. It is so cute!

I never really paid much mind to the speakers mounted around town above the storefronts, maybe every 3 to 4 stores along the side streets, and on all the light poles down the main street.  Today, when I got downtown, there was music playing. Everywhere you walked you could hear it because of those nice evenly-spaced speakers all over downtown.  It was so cool.  At first it was just random music but then when it started to get darker it was all Christmas music and all the Christmas lights place around town lit up. That was the point that I wished I had my camera. I'm going back tomorrow, I hope the weather is nice again (it was only 60 degrees out) so I can take pictures of all the pretty downtown-ness.  The only thing that the image was missing was snow.  It would have been perfect.  Even so, I loved it.

I probably walked around for about 2 hours before I decided to go catch a bus home.  Oh I also bought a book at the fnac first. A French book.  It was 7 euros, I thought that was pretty cheap.  Now I'm reading it.  I had a pretty good day, if I do say so myself.  And it's Friday! Got the weekend to do nothing (well, other than going downtown tomorrow to take pretty pictures).

And then I have 3 days of classes left, and a big test Thursday. Wow. I'M SO EXCITED!
