geez...what? 2 or 3 weeks since my last posting?? well, needless to say that i'm on vacation. so i got up that saturday morning and LUGGED my luggage to the train station to go to miramas. you wanna talk about somethign that will make your back HURT like a mother for a week. yeah. each bag of mine (4 of 'em total) are stuffed to the rafters. my suitcase probably has to be hovering around 70lbs. it's really a mess. but hopefully i'll make it. christian was at the quai when my train pulled in so that made it easier. it was only the change of trains in marseille that really hurt. while at their house i did really absolutely nothing. went to the movies once and saw 'the day after tomorrow'. ummm...just hung out, really. ate a lot of really good food. it wasn't too hot like what it was a month ago in the south but it was still kinda warm. i read a good book that andy left when she was here back in april. ummm...then came the day that i took the tgv up to paris. yet another horrible trip. but anne-caroline was at the train station to get me when i get to paris. we still had to take the metro but it was a lot easier with two carrying all that luggage. i stayed the night at her place and then took the tgv out to brittany (st. brieuc more precisely) last friday, the 25th. i stayed with laurent and nanou. all we did was laugh and joke around. they're so fun! laurent and i went to the beach a lot in the afternoons since he's off work. he had an annuerism (?) and he's one of the few lucky ones that survive with no damage. here, the weather isn't so hot. it's about 60's everyday with about an hour a day of sunshine. anyway...i've since changed families. i'm at another host family's house from 4 years ago. then on sunday i'm going to the last host family that i had 4 years ago, the josse's. sylvie's in paris until saturday so i'll probably go there on sunday. then it's dinner with the program profs (program i did 4 years ago here in st. brieuc). i'm going to try to see if jacqueline danner, the director, will let me be a prof next summer. we'll see. then it's back to paris on thursday morning. tgv leaves at 6am!! isabelle's flying up from aix and we're going to hang out in paris that day then she's going to go with me to the airport on thursday to say bye. then it's home!! well, there it is, my program for the next week in case i don't post before coming back home. see you in a week, y'all!!
