Sunday Morning, Rain Is Falling.

mmmmmmmmm

Quelques photos from my day with the Le Jeunes yesterday :)

Welcome to the wonderful world of autumn in Normandy: rain - all day, every day. It's a chilly, rainy, gray Sunday, and we all know what that means: hanging out in bed, catching up on my American TV shows, and - could it be?! - doing homework. Don't be too surprised; it had to happen eventually. I don't just get to hang out in France without doing any work for 4 months. I get to hang out in France doing hardly any work for 4 months. Unless you want to count sightseeing, shopping, and going to cafes as work, in which case, being a student in France is hard.

My homework that I have to do this weekend consists of three pages of grammar exercises (thank you, high school for teaching me this 4 years ago) and reading a Moliere play (thank you, Moliere movie that I used to watch all the time because it is so awesome). In short, my homework is really just a way for me to relax, practice my French in the comfort of my own bed, and pretend like I'm being super studious. I'm sure it will get more difficult, especially when we have to start writing essays for my African Studies class, but for now I'm enjoying the leisurely grammar exercises and elementary-school-level French plays (no actually- they bought us the "Petits Classiques" version of L'Avare). Love it.

So that's pretty much it for my day. I ate some spinach, rice, and an apple for breakfast/lunch (meals get confusing when you wake up at 1pm), and now am just relaxing to the tune of French homework until the season premiere of Private Practice finishes loading. Wait, what? I don't watch that trash. . .

Anyway, depressing as the day looks outside, I'm really enjoying being warm in bed, reading my Moliere, while watching the rain pour down outside of my window. It's going to be a great -- uneventful, but great -- day.

IMPORTANT: If anyone can figure out how to send me pumpkin pie and/or peanut butter in the mail, please do it. I will sell my soul to you for pumpkin pie. The realization that I won't be home for Thanksgiving just hit me yesterday, and I'm starting to flip out.

Okay, that's all. Love you all very much!

Bisous, Josie
