Monday - Week VII

It turned out to be another beautiful day today. The morning was dark and foreboding but by the afternoon the sun was out and managed to stay out all day. Hurray for the sun! And hurray for me who got to enjoy another lovely walk into town. I only just recently, in the past week, noticed that there is a charming house only a few doors down from my apartment that has a thatched roof. You don't see them much in the city center area so I was surprised I hadn't noticed it before now. I guess while I was in class I was just too exhausted and focused on school in the morning to notice this wonderful home. I also am including a new picture of Sea Road where the budding cafe is simply because I was moved to take a picture so I did.

I was at school finishing the missing parts of my number 5 assignment and I had the pleasure of having an impromtu gab session with some of my favorite students who were their studying for the English proficiancy test they'll be taking in January. It was Eloy, Pascaule, Felicia and Mickael and they were all so chatty today. We talked about books and the similarities between the Swiss language and German and lots of other topics that just pop up when you're in a room with people from different countries. It was so sweet though that when they were getting ready to leave Mickael came back to my classroom just to say how much he really enjoys getting to talk to me. He was one of the students who was in my first teacher practice over a month ago and he has such an amazing energy. He's always happy and talkative and I only wish I knew a 22 year old girl who was looking for a wonderful young French man who, by the way, is studying to be a doctor, how great is that.

Jean Marie was kind enough to pick me up at the school tonight and take me to the gym where we talked with Fiona for an hour or so.

All-in-all a very nice day.
