I'm really feeling bullet points right now. I'm too tired to write about my day in great detail, so I'm going to give you the highlights, and fill in the rest tomorrow.
1. Had a 3-hour-long class on Sénégal.
2. Saw the impressionist exhibit at the Musée des Beaux Arts in Rouen (real Monets and Pissarros! Incroyable!)
3. Asked every person in France how to get to l'église Jeanne d'Arc. Everyone gave us the same answer: "Go to the right. Then stay right, keep to the right, keep to the right, and then ask someone else for directions because it's complicated."
4. Finally met Evelyn and her friends at l'église and went out for crepes!
5. Made new friends (Yves, Peter, Phillip, Michael, and 2 girls whose names I don't know), and learned that Swiss-German is NOT the same thing as German.
6. Went out for drinks with a bunch of Swiss-Germans.
7. Came home really tired.
I would also like to thank my parents for teaching me how to count to 10 in German as a child. It provided many laughs tonight.
I'm really going to miss Evelyn when she leaves now! She is so great, and I had a blast with her tonight. It is also really awesome that she knows how to get around town without asking everyone she sees. One day, I will be like that.
So, bonne soirée for my friends in les Etats-Unis, and bonne nuit for me and my friends en France. Tomorrow, I don't have class until 1:30pm. I love this place.
Love, Josie
