Tuesday 10t of June. Nothing of much consequence really happened today except for a visit to the home of Marie Francoise, an elderly lady here in Aix who has volunteered to read to a bunch of us students every week. The twist on what would undoubtedly be an extremely boring and tedious visit (it takes 20 minutes just to walk there...uphill!) is that she only chooses books that are about cooking and then afterwards, she also gives us a little cooking lesson on some of the foods that appear in the chosen book. So imagine my surprise when I walk in [View Full Entry]

Alright so the bloody Internet at the Mirabeau Apartments decided to pack up about and French efficiency dictates that it will take at least eight working hours to repair... which translates to about 3 days and counting. So, before I forget everything I decided to bite the bullet and head down here to Carrefour Cafe just down my street Rue Roux Alpheran.

Anyways here goes: Tuesday 3rd of June was the second day of classes. To be honest, these classes are a little dull and its far too hard to actually concentrate for 4 hours straight, especially when Mme Calvet could probably recite all of Shakespeare's works in one sitting without ever [View Full Entry]

So here we are. The first time I have actually sat down to pen my thoughts in god knows how long and in all honesty, I'm pretty excited to see what will emerge! I was actually hoping I would get around to doing this a few days ago so I guess I'll make up for it by providing a quick executive summary of the past week. I arrived in France on the 29th of May, ready to embark on a 2 month long immersion around the south in the beautiful Provencial town of Aix-En-Provence.
