Life is good and keeps getting better

The start to my new year was a little rough... my last few posts sum it up if you're not up to date. But what a difference a few weeks make; I am loving life. I've had a great week - here's why:

-Due to mental breakdowns and the flu, my last class was cancelled each day this week. I was also told that I wouldn't have my afternoon classes next Tuesday, which means I only have two classes and will finish at 11h15. 

-I booked my train ticket to Paris for the beginning of my vacation, which is less than three weeks away. My travel companion hasn't booked his tickets, so I haven't booked my flights yet, but vacation is in sight! Book 'em Danno! I mean, Jesse... I  just heard back from my friend in London so my trip will officially be to Paris, Edinburgh, and London! Two weeks of vacation, here I come! Not to mention, it'll be great to see a familiar face from home and to make it even better, I have accommodations provided through friends in both Edinburgh and London. Score! Can't wait to get out of Lille for a bit! It's really a shame that I haven't travelled around France at all since I've been here! That's all going to change, though! 

-Ali moved in on Monday and so far as I can tell, is an awesome roommate! We have literally spent hours talking since she moved in! I was so happy to hear the other night that living here, she was finally reminded of what it's like to be excited to come home. She's only here on a seven-month contract, so she'll be leaving sometime in April - bummer! But I know that we're going to have a great time living together while she's around! Between my addiction to fruits and vegetables and her vegan diet, I don't think Séb has ever been around so many fruits and vegetables! 

-The week started out with temperatures below zero degrees but Thursday afternoon was 14C and sunny. I wouldn't say it was warm but it reminded me of the beginning of spring and it got me all excited! In contrast with being utterly frozen on Monday, I was quite the happy camper! Today is nasty and the wind is howling... but I'm looking forward to springtime in France! Who wouldn't?

I hope your week has been as good as mine! And now, I'm off to enjoy my weekend! 
Bisous!

  2. Springtime in France. The words just roll off the tongue don't they?

  3. Wow, how is Ali handling having a vegan diet here in France? I can imagine that means she doesn't ever eat out or go to restaurants...?
