This week has been the most ridiculous thing, and awesome. My friends are the thing I'm going to miss the most (luckily I still have time to appreciate France, so I don't have to start missing this lovely country quite yet), so it's been lots and lots of hanging out.
Sunday I watched the Rescuers Down Under with Katie and Stewart, in French. This is a rather significant event because Katie and I decided that I am basically Joanna, the endearingly stupid goanna who eats raw eggs. Katie, Sam and I cooked veggie lasagna and garlic bread for my host family on sunday night, which turned out really great and ended up being a really fun dinner. I think my host parents really liked meeting my friends.
Monday and Tuesday my host mummy was gone, so I had two super secret sleepovers, which involved fun music-playing and ghetto movie watching. Katie and I also went on a really epic hiking adventure on tuesday. Seeing as it was finals week, I did have a bit of homework, including a Spanish paper about Aztec sacrifice (easiest the worst paper I have ever written) and a Spanish oral exam about the environment. Easiest finals week EVER.
The last two days have been lots and lots of goodbyes, which sucks. Alot. But I'm fairly positive I'll be seeing all my good friends here again at some point, since most of them conveniently live in either the midwest or the northwest. Even though I'll be seeing them again, my host parents decided to say goodbye officially last night by giving me presents and being over complementary (I had lots of nice things I wanted to say to them as well, but had a rather hard time getting them out. That's what cards are for.) I'm going to miss them alot. My last night in Nantes was spent in a park (where else?!) snuggling/huddling for warmth with Katie, Stewart and Jessalyn. Parfait.
So. Summer plans.
May 14th-26th wwoofing at a farm near Mouzeil, a baby village 40 km NE of Nantes. Sam will be with me until Tuesday, then he's off to Germany.
May 28th- June 18th wwoofing near Boussens, in the Pyrenees, with Stewart. We're staying with a middle aged couple who have oodles of animals on their farm.
June 18th-July 3rd (ish) wwoofing near Bagnères-de-Bigorre all by my lonesome, which is real high up in the Pyrenees, right at the base of the highest mountain the Pyrenees.
July 4th- August 6th wwoofing in Tarragona, Spain. I'll be at a farm/campsite/eco resort 4 km from the beach. So excited to practice Spanish! And it'll be real exciting to be in a new country!
August 7th-August 10th A few days in Nantes with my host family to say goodbye, see Nantes again and buy touristy junk.
So there's my next three months. Should be grand.
