.....and midterms are approaching next week! Today I stayed in and played catch up on homework, since yesterday I went on George's trip to La Ciotat and Cassis. For those reading this post who are looking to apply to IAU, George is a French guy in the area who organizes day trips for students for around 25 euro apiece. They are a great way to see parts of Provence that you normally might not know about or how to get to on your own. The water at the beach in Cassis is a wee bit cold to swim in, but it's definitely nicer than most American beaches. The only downside was having to get up at 7:30am to get ready and walk 30 minutes to the Cezzanne Statue at the end of the Cours Mirabeau. But all in all, it was worth it.
Cassis!
......Anyways to the next order of business, I'm going to Paris next weekend with my friends Scott and Kris. SO excited! After a bit of research, we were able to book a decent hostel and TGV train tickets to get there. But before then, I have an assignment for my interior design class due. We're designing a library, and had to do a bunch of site research, site sketching, observe how people act in different social environments, etc etc. Next, we started to compile all our findings and photos into a book using Adobe Indesign. I've been working all day on it. It's kind of therapeutic in a way, since I essentially work in Photoshop, format text and images, and have my music on.
So that's that. It's after midnight and I have a 9am clas
