Les vacances commencent

Tuesday our presentation went alright. It wasn't as long as the requirements said it should be, but we talked a lot during the discussion afterwards and I think the prof knew we knew what we were talking about.

The rest of the week was mostly classes. I didn't do much else. (Sorry I'm boring!)

Friday I slept in and skipped my class again (oops!) And then off to the mountain! The drive up was really pretty, we drove through small villages in the valleys and on the mountain. Snowboarding was an adventure... I couldn't really figure it out for a while. Apparently the problem ended up being that my bindings weren't tight enough so we tightened that up and it was much easier. I still fell on my butt a lot though. Ouch! I made it down 3 times without falling! I think I'll stick to skiing from now on...

Saturday I met Maia at the mall to check out this sushi place. It looked reasonably priced but ended up costing both of us at least 20€... Don't think we'll be going back there! They charge 3€ for the small bottle of water they bring you! I miss SushiLand... Then we went to the Médiathèque, which is really cool! We watched a guy watching Thriller for a few minutes and that was entertaining. They have lots of movies and music that you can sit down and watch or listen to while you're there, or you can buy a membership and check things out. (They have books too, of course). On the way home we got a few bottles of wine then invited some friends over to watch movies and drink wine. It really helped me forget how sore I was from the snowboarding!

Yesterday I met Konstantin to go to the train station because I needed to print out my ticket for tomorrow and he wanted to look at tickets for Paris today. Then we came back here so he could look online because he doesn't have internet at his apartment. We just goofed around on the internet and checked out music until he had to leave. I spent the night eating pasta and watching a French comedian, Gad Elmaleh (well, he's actually Moroccan). He's really hilarious! If you speak French...

Today I have to pack and get all my travelling plans in order, and tomorrow I leave bright and early to get to Oslo! I have to take the tram to the train station, then a train to catch a bus to catch my plane and then take a bus... eek! At least from there Warren will meet me and help me get to his place. I can't wait! I don't know how much I'll be on the internet but I'll try to keep you updated on my adventures.

Au revoir!
