Yes, summer is officially here, though as I write this rain buffets the window at my side. Peu importe, I'm willing to wait out the sunshine!
I guess the most exciting thing that has occured recently is the termination of my career as a french student in 1ere L. I did it! I have survived a full school year in a foreign school system. And while I wouldn't say I thrived, I finished the year with a decent GPA. More importantly, I met some people at les Cordeliers whom I shall truly miss upon my return, and who I feel will welcome me back if I ever got to travelling to France again. I know I'd be happy to have them sometime in Canada!
But the arrival of my favorite season of the year is cause for celebration in itself. So far I've visited a Texan friend, Manon, in Laval. And I leave this Tuesday for Aurey to visit Finnish Riikka and German Gerda on my last trip out of Dinan before my ride to Paris, to catch my return plane home.
I had not really thought about going home until late last night; it was then I realized: there are a mere 13 days left to me here in France. I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around so small a number; how can 10 months melt down to 13 days so fast?! Like butter in a microwave...
But it's a good thing I faced the reality of the situation now, because I still have a boatload of things to see to if I want to come home at all! So that will probably be all my news for the recent future; when I'm not with friends saying goodbye, I'm packing suitcases and writing thank-you cards!
