Well, I'm afraid I don't have *that* much to write about as of late! The semester has truly picked up in terms of work - a 4-5 page paper for Religion, a 10 page paper for Art, and of course my 25-30 page IS for Wooster. Basically, I'm going to be writing. a LOT. toute en français, of course. Fortunately, I'm starting to settle into a work routine pretty well...with plenty of fun in between, of course =D Like my SUAPS courses, for example.
There's my salsa class from last semester that is SO fun, mainly because we're finally getting into more complicated moves, and the class is *almost* an even ratio of men and women! granted, it's frustrating when the names of the moves are all in SPANISH...I get so lost half the time, but I me débrouille (manage) and hope that my partner knows what the heck he's supposed to do!
There's a class called 'les danses de la société" society dances, better known as ballroom! We do lindy hop, salsa, waltz, chacha...it's great. granted, it's MUCH more uneven as far as the male/female ratio goes, but there are 2 other IES students, so when we don't have someone to dance with we just chat and make fools of ourselves having fun!
and then there's the wild card class-gym douce. 'soft gym'. we were under the impression that it would be almostkindasorta like yoga. ish. we get there the first day and it was...not yoga. we ran around like idiots, skipping and hopping along to essentially elevator music. we did a little bit of stretching (thus I was still under the impression that it might be like yoga...) and then we were told to partner up. and gave each other massages. and we do this every class. so essentially, it's just an hour and a half of running around to warm up and then getting and giving massages. it's pretty much fantastic...so those of you who already know my massages? they've only gotten better =D
oh and on saturday...I'm going to Nice with Jenan and Kim - I'm kind of crazy excited!! It's the Carnaval...which is essentially like our Mardi Gras celebration. well, sort of. We got tickets for three parades, one of which is apparently a HUGE flower parade where the people on the floats shower the crowd with flowers. Needless to say, I'm crazy excited! And I bought a big floppy black sunhat - only appropriate for une promenade sur le promenade des anglais, à côté du côte d'azur - a walk along the boardwalk next to the Riviera.
à+!
ps - to whomever left me a nice comment on my last post...who are you?! all it says is anonymous =(

Well, I'm glad to see that you've turned into a complete slacker - 2 dance classes and what sounds like an old ladies' workout class. ;-) Wooster will be a big slap in the face when you get back. Actually it's not terrible - but now I have to start finding a real IS topic and I don't wanna!
Well since there is only one post on your last, it must have been that Rascally cat.
