Still here!

There's seems to be some general confusion about when I leave for my break, but don't worry, I'm in France until next Friday, the 17th. Biding out the time with my last week but watching the Olympics non-stop and getting pumped for my trip.

I spent last weekend in Caen and had a fantastic time with my crazy friends there. Friday Jen and I met up with Kristina and Charlie to go out to dinner for Charlie's birthday. We went to a crepe place downtown and it was amazing! Of course, we all had a dinner crepe followed by a dessert crepe-mmm, add that to the list of reasons I love this country. After we went back to Kristina and Charlie's place to play rummy and watch the opening ceremony to the Olympics. My favorite part was the people in the white suits on the net who formed a dove at the end-hopefully you all got to see it, cause it was really cool!

Saturday Jen left to go to a friend's tae-boxing match in Rouen, so I was on my own for a bit. The day started off with a haircut, since my hair has been driving me nuts lately. I got a cut at the same place, recommended by my friend Karina, in November, and it all went well even though I was a bit nervous. This time it went fine too, but although I went in for a trim I came out with something completely different. She looked so innocent with her scissors, but I swear they never stopped moving the whole time I was in the chair. I seriously have about 1/4 of the hair I went in with. So now I'm trying to learn to like my Frenchie cut, although I have to say my mind's not made up yet. The haircut was followed by a Carrefour trip with Karina, and then a night of taco salad and vegging at her place along with the usual suspects Shannon, Natalie, and Jen. After spending a day with no one but French boys, Jen was a little loopy and got us all going, but it resulted in some fun pictures that I'll be posting soon.

Sunday it was back here to start my marathon sleeping, teaching, Olympic watching week. Can't wait to leave on Friday!! Hope everyone's around someone they love today-Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
