Last class already?!

m

I just got home from my last class at the Fac. Ever. I really just can't believe that the semester is already over. It's been such a whirlwind.

So the only class I had today was Literature with Mlle Dang (who is amazing), and we just listened to three exposés: Serge Gainsbourg, an absurd play, and Une Partie de Campagne. We also turned in our portfolios (which I somehow managed to finish finally). I just can't believe now it's just one weekend and then finals week. And then America. I'm really going to miss my daily mini Wolof lessons.

I feel like I'm just now really getting into life here in Rouen, into speaking French, into getting to know the people and make friends here. It's amazing how people can adapt like that to new environments, and be forever changed by it. Being here in the living room in my host family's house in Rouen, I feel like I've lived here all my life. Being here right now is just so normal, so comfortable, just exactly where I'm supposed to be when I come home from school at the Fac and want to relax. It's so ouf to think that in just one short week, all of this will go from being my life quotiedienne to nothing more than a very fond memory.

For now, I think I'm gonna go take a nap, maybe eat some lunch, and maybe (but probably not) start studying. I'm exhausted and almost fell asleep in class so many times today.

No definitive plans yet for tonight, but the day is still young. It's only 1. And it's our last weekend in Rouen, so I'm sure people will start rallying to do something later in the afternoon. Maybe I'll go walk around and check out the Christmas markets some more. Ok - maybe after the nap.

Love, Josie
