So, since I stupidly left my computer at home, I've decided to come in and type on a computer in a physics lab, because I have nothing better to do. Having just finished my French exam, I can safely say that that was the easiest final exam I have ever taken. Foreign language exams are allotted 1.5 hours as opposed to the normal 2, and even though that's less time than the core classes, it still took me about 30 minutes. 30 minutes! Which is a perfect transition into talking about my trip to France.
Just this morning, my dad got on a flight to Madrid, Spain, in his quest for knowledge: Since having 5 degrees somehow isn't enough for him, he's decided to get his law degree. One of the things he wants to learn most is international law, naturally, he used this as an excuse to take us all to Europe. He's going to be in Madrid for about two weeks, then he's going to Germany, and by then we'll all be in France, waiting for him. He'll meet us there, and we'll live in Paris from June to some time in January. I'm pretty excited; I've wanted to go to France for some time, and this is the perfect opportunity to get to speaking French fluently.
So it's off to an entirely different country, to an entirely different language, to an entirely different school: I'm going to a school called EABJM, located in Paris, and about a 15 minute's walk from the Eiffel Tower. Of course, the Eiffel Tower will probably get a little old, but it'll definitely be pretty cool to check out for the first month or so. In the meantime, however, I have to think about school. I still have a week left, and I'm not exactly enthralled. Exams are done, so I'm really starting to think about skipping. We'll see how exciting mini-term is, though. Who knows, reading 1000-year-old books might just be entertaining.
