Sorry I've been neglecting you...

So, friends...sorry i've been neglecting this blog....i really don't have time to get on the internet a lot and when i do have time i'm usually on facebook loading more pictures or chatting with my friends....and checking my email.

Also, i'mm already writing my adventures in duplicate...english and french, not to mention this which would make it in triplicate. At the very least my travels will be well documented.

The weather is getting amazing here...today it's supposed to be 70 some degrees...

i'm not going to italy or paris or anywhere far away because it's really expensive, and i'd rather stay near avignon, to tell the truth. avignon is beautiful and it's finally starting to feel a little home-y. everyday after class justin and i go to place pie to get a coffee. And when our group goes out we head over to the irish pub, or level one which is a really hip student-y bar.

our lit prof told us that we need to stay up all night one weekend, drinking sparingly, and then go to the market at 7 in the morning with a hangover. He said it's a true french experience that we need to do. The profs here are so much cooler than in the states, did i mention that?

the french boys, on the other hand, are somewhat different than expected...a lot of them are just creepers (as they are in any city) and the ones that are not tend to be really feminine.....which is not really my taste. But I would say 1 in 20 are what we stereotypically think of french men...so it's not like they don't exist.

Today we are headed to the ile across the rhone right next to the pont d'avignon. we brought cheese, bread, olives, and grapes.........and of course a bottle of wine. we're probably just going to sit and do homework...it should be amusing, as always.

france is beautiful, and justin and i are already planning our return trip after graduation....hitting all the places we missed this time in france and the rest of europe....any takers?

bisous,
amanda

P.S. stamps are ridiculously expensive...so be expecting the post cards at the end of the quarter, lol
