HELLO SUMMER

Well, it's not summer actually. Let's be real, it's not even spring. YEAH but it was 65 for the past two days. So, it's summer.

Monday
I started my internship today! I went in and she asked me if I wanted to organize the costume closet. Which I did, of course. So then I organized the costumes closet until she asked me if I like tea. Which I do, of course. We (my boss, the other intern, and I) had tea and cookies. She actually went to the bio next door and bought some gluten free cookies for me!! Then I organized some more and went home. It was a lovely time.

Tuesday
More internship. I finished the closet and then got to watch her teach the little kids theater class. They were rehearsing a play and it was so cute. One of them memorized his monologue and he is stellar. I was so impressed. Also, it's a weird thing to hear little kids singing Lady Gaga songs. Because they know some of the words and the others are just sort of english sounding gibberish. Which is weird, because you hear english noises and try to understand. But you can't because it's just sounds! Mind blown.

Wednesday
Yeah, I have no idea what happened on Wednesday.

Thursday
I got a good grade on my first poetry paper! Woop!
And It was 65 degrees outside. I also ate a delicious crêpe. With spinach, goat cheese, and gruyere. SO GOOD. And found my missing sock in the garden! And then my host mom gave me ice cream for my afternoon snack. Win.

Today!

Our picnic!

We went on a little tour of Aix (again) in my class. Then my friends and I decided that a picnic lunch would be a great idea. So we bought some amazing strawberries from the market and two cheeses--traditional Provençal goat cheese and some beaufort. We got some Orangina from Monoprix and called it a lunch. We found a big park and sat outside and ate our lunch. Afterwards we got macarons, which are so good. Today I tried milk chocolate, red fruits, and rose-litchi (which was kind of odd). The first two were delicious, but the rose-litchi I think was a once taste test. It wasn't bad... It tasted like rose water and just wasn't as good.

And now I'm on break! All next week I have off of school, so tomorrow I'm gonna hang around and Sunday I'm going to Nice for carnival. During the week I might go on some day trips with a few others as well as see the museums and culture in Aix. Yay, culture! Yay, no school!
