counting down...

final week of work is over and done with...it was relatively uneventful...most of my classes were canceled because of the bac blanc (practice tests for the big test coming up in june)...one class of premieres gave me a nice book and cd and a group of seconds gave me a card and a tart tatin (yummy!)...saturday we finally had our bbq at our little apartment...and this time the weather cooperated...saturday was the warmest day so far (over 80°!!!!!!!)...we had some yummy shish kebabs, potato salad, guacamole, and carolyns killer brownies...check out the pics...

saturday night it was dinner with brandon, aaron and his gf, sophie...the restaurant left something to be desired (and left me with a belly ache) but it was great to see them, as usual...after it was an evening out with carolyn and miriam...our last evening together in lille...the "best, worst bar in lille", the guapa bar, was closed...so we spent our last evening at some cafe near the wazemmes...sunday M picked me up and we took a walk around gondecourt, all the way to the little forest between gondecourt and seclin...we got all the way there, saw the big signs saying "keep out", "area booby-trapped", turned around and went back...it was a nice walk, anyways...

the goodbyes have officially started...i bade alicia, raoul and brandon "au revoir" this weekend...sniff sniff....with all the traveling i'm doing with my family i have two weekends left in town...so much to do, so little time...
