Tour de France, Nice, etc. etc.

Tomorrow the Tour de France is coming through Grenoble, RIGHT down the road I live off of - La Rue de la Liberation. A bunch of us are skipping our second class of the day and going to see it. Afterwards we're going to lounge by the pool chez moi. Friday I leave for Nice for the weekend and I'm absolutely ecstatic! I reaaaallllyyyy wanna go to Monaco! I am extra excited because everyone I have ever bonded with on this trip is going so it's going to be sooo much fun. We are all staying in a hotel together! It's gonna be crazy. Right now I have to go read for Emily's class, which is the worst class I've ever taken by the way. Yesterday we turned in a 7 pg paper, tomorrow we have a 3 pg one due and Tuesday we have another 7 pg one. Taking this pass/fail was the second best decision I've ever made. The best decision I've ever made was to come here. I have learned so much about what kind of person I am and what I am capable of. I definitely want to return here for a longer period of time in the near future, but I know that next summer I really wanna do something in the Middle East. Big plans, huh? Miss you all very, very much. Can't wait to see [most of] you again! Also, so excited to meet Baxter and Fluffy! =)
