And the learning continues...

So second semester has officially started after a long and quite satisfying break. At the international institute, we get a bit of an extended break becuase of the new students coming to the University. They have to go through all the procedures that I had to go through at the beginning of the year: a placement test, orientation and tours etc. The Christmas lights have been taken down, the marché de noël is over, and there is no excuse...the waiting is finally over and I have to use my brain again.

Even though classes have started up again, I find myself anxiously awaiting the next holiday in February. I fear that I have adopted a French attitude (over here there are holidays left right and centre!) I am already planning out how to spend said vacation. So if there are any ideas floating out there of what I should do...let me know!

Last weekend I said goodbye to my good friend Reni from Norway. She is traveling to India, so most of my good friends have left me! I just need to get on the friend-making bandwagon again. I figure I can bribe them with the promise of Canadian maple candy. It worked for Ross on "Friends." Ok, enough TV references, off to study la langue française!
