I was dreading my first phone call to my host family when I arrived at the train station last August because I was scared I wouldn’t understand what they were saying. Now, I’m dreading next Wednesday when I’ll have to go to that same train station with them and say goodbye.
I’m normally emotionally shut off but I just can’t deal with goodbyes.
Also, my class had a surprise “going away” party for me today in philosophy… They gave me a Laguiole knife (a speciality from this region) and a giant signed photo of our class. Then we ate crêpes, muffins and some other sorts of cake that I don’t know the name of while we talked about my year in France and what I’ll be doing next. Saying goodbye is going to be awful.
…but mostly just naps.

The Game of Thrones is my new favorite show.
It’s brilliant. The wealth, the hierarchies, the betrayal, the sex, the scandal, the battles, the fantasy. It has all the ingredients to a great show and I’m addicted.
