17....wait, where'd my semester go?!

May 16, 2008 19:05

No more classes in Grenoble!!! Just finals :( I'm very much looking forward to Thursday when it's all over (the studying and work) and we have our API dinner, which I have a feeling I'll cry at, mainly because others will start it during toast time.

I printed out pictures from Italy today at the campus tabac. They're so beautiful. I can wait to blow some of those beauties up and get them framed and up in my apartment in July!

Hmm, what's new. Oh my parents hit the mid-life crisis point..Mom got her Audi TT convertible and Diddy wants a motorcycle! I guess I got France, and Momma said Megan gets what she deserves: nothing (ha, she was kidding). 17 days! 8 days til Janea comes to visit! Oh, Heidi had her baby girl on Monday! She's gorgeous, just like a Gremillion.

I'm going to Lyon tomorrow with the "big, dysfunctional family", and I'm bringing along plenty of French proverbs to study! When I get back, more studying and probably talking to Mom & Rivers on skype :) Chris called me through skype on his CELL PHONE the other day! Oh technology, sometimes you amaze me so.

Oh, and I saw huge protests right outside my window yesterday with my host mom & sister (we watched from our balcony off the living room). Students and adults laying down in front of cars, apparently a broken shop window, and police throwing tear gas things at them (that's when we went back inside...one landed right under our apt). It was insane. Is that really what they meant by "experiences you'll never forget"??? Haha...mais, ah, c'est la France! Ca, c'est typiquement français!
