Today I went to the Mont Saint Michel with Jean Luc, Françoise's sister and her husband. It was pretty amazing, Something you have to see photos of as I really can't describe it! After walking through/around it we went to a creperie for lunch. The day would have been more enjoyable if I wasn't sick :( In the afternoon I went to the doctors and am now on antibiotics; hoping to feel better for New Years!

Spending days on the couch watching movies, trying to feel better. :)

NEW YEARS EVE
Today started off with me getting my first haircut in France. I'm normally scared of getting them, this time I was terrified. I had no idea of the right words to explain what I wanted, so I took a picture. It turned out pretty good :)
In the afternoon I went with Aurélie, Celia, Mathieu, JB, Arnaud and Jérémy to get the food for the evening then spent about two hours preparing it all seeing as it was mostly us three girls doing it! After Aurélie and I went to her place to get ready, then to Jérémy's for pre-party drinks, the to Chateau Bois guy in Parigné where the party was.
It was really cool, but a little scary at first seeing as I didn't really know many people I had only seen them around school or from volleyball but everyone was really nice :). After eating a little we then started the drinking and dancing... the rest is pretty obvious ;)
Time went quickly and I eventually talked to most the people. We tried getting some sleep around 5am but it was pretty much impossible for those who hadn't passed out.
In the morning the place was a total mess but pretty much showed what a good night it was :)
Got home at about 1pm and went to bed and slept for ages! An Amazing night!!
The next day was spent recovering and sleeping. Then went out with them again to café de Paris for a drink then to a pub for pool.

The holidays were great and I had so much fun :) not looking forward to having to get up early for school though :/
