Hi Everyone! How are you? Today we had our last real class in France! We had a pretty easy week, our class Art on Monday was cancelled for the holiday and then when we got to our English class on Tuesday we learned that we didn’t have class because our teacher was having contractions and wouldn’t be coming in! (A very nice surprise!) Since we had the day off we decided to go to Nice to lie at the beach for the day since it was sunny and warm outside. We are so used to Wildwood’s sandy beaches that we are always surprised at how much it hurts to walk and lay on rocky beaches! Em barely made it back to her towel after she walked down to the water! During our sociology class we just listened to six presentations since for our final project we could choose to do either a five page paper for a twenty minute presentation. (The French students don’t like to write in English so they choose the presentation!) Afterwards we walked around Antibes and went down to our beach for a little bit before it got a little cloudy outside. In today’s film class we watched Fight Club – an easy and relaxing ending to the week!
Last week Kristen and six other students from CEA and us went to Biot, the next town over, to make pottery. We had a lot of fun! We were able to choose any objects to paint, we each chose a vase and little jewelry dish. We sent them to be glazed and will pick them up sometime next week. We are anxious to see the finished product! Not too much else is new, we are very excited for the master’s tennis tournament tomorrow! Afterwards we are going to get ice cream with a friend from our sociology class! We also wanted to wish Jul a happy 24th birthday! We miss you and love you and wish we could have gone to Nashville with you, have a great time! We miss the rest of you as well and can’t wait to see you in a few weeks! We love you!
Love, Em and Jen
