Happy Halloween!

It's almost November and I can physically feel my life getting easier. Classes are getting better (even though I still don't take notes fast enough), my French is getting better (still a long long way to go though, Lindsey and I were talking yesterday about how there's no way we're ever going to get fluent because it's so hard to just sit down and talk to someone who is French and will speak only French with you), I'm starting to like Aix a little more (even though tourist season is over and people STILL stop in the middle of the sidewalk and take a photo every time I'm in a hurry to get to class), and in another month I'll finally start travelling (which is why I came here in the first place).
