Arrived safely home in Aix Saturday midday in time to hit the markets; needless to say I bought nothing because I am very good at persuading myself I don't need it( thanks for instilling something good in me mom!). Sunday I relaxed and did laundry!!! Walked around town since it was warm and cloudless for once, and a french couple stopped and asked me for directions. I felt so sorry for them because they were completely headed in the wrong direction. So I began explaining to them how to get to their destination and I could see it dawn on their faces that this girl doesn't speak french as her native language and yet she is telling us how to get around. I guess it's the little things in life that make your days!
Yesturday I proceded to eat dinner with Jess as I have every Monday for the past 2 months! And we were able to persuade Andy to watch Garden State with us. Today I did homework while laying at the park with friends. And it is starting to dawn on me that I will be leaving them and this wonderful place in less than 3 weeks. And although I am sad, I am very glad and grateful for my parents to allow me such a wonderful opportunity. Although I think mom might have liked it if I called home a little more often! At least I can go home saying I can hold conversations in french, and I feel at ease when traveling even in places such as greece, because I was able to speak to people in English and French even when both was our second language. The barriers just seem to keep getting smaller!
