It's all finalized. I have my planes booked for Dublin, Edinburgh, and London. I am going to Barcelona this weekend with Deepa and my trip for Bordeaux is is all booked. All that is left to do is book the hostels for fall break and then my travel plans for the rest of my study abroad will be complete. Even as I type this, I cannot comprehend that this is my life. I am truly living in a fairy tale right now.
My French class went to the ballet tonight. That was an odd experience. It was not a classical ballet, but rather it was this abstract, performance art. There were parts of it that I found enjoyable, but for the most part I did not really like it. I am more the type who likes Swan Lake or Nutcracker, not random bits of dance that do not fit together. At the end there were live sheep brought on stage, to give you a little bit of an idea of what I had to sit through.
The redeeming quality for the ballet was the view of the Eiffel Tower. I still cannot believe that I can be on public transportation, look outside the window and see that amazing landmark.
I have been preparing for my final Thursday, but honestly it is hard to study. I keep forgetting I have school because I spend my weekends going places and my week nights exploring Paris. Don't get the wrong impression, I have done all of the reading except for King Henry IV (I couldn't for the life of my get through that text), so I should be fine. It is just the idea of a final that makes me nervous. However, after my final it is Barcelona time, so that should take my mind off of anything that I didn't like about the final.
On a good monetary note, I now know I can survive on like 12 euro a week for food. So I am going to start doing that more because of all the trips I am taking. Well, there isn't anything that new to say, I just wanted to get one more post in before I leave. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
