Sorry for the long absence, but my life really just isn't that interesting here in January. After a monster snow storm (I say "monster" b/c France isn't really used to snow...we only got about 5 inches...) everything had melted by new years and all we've had is rain, rain, and drizzling. Pretty depressing but the little glimpses sun are phenomenal. I've just been hanging here in Lens and Lille hanging w/ Americans and basically not speaking very much French...
But coming up is my February break and I'm very excited about it: Lots of traveling all over Europe and I hope I'm not going to run out of money! Also right now is the decision to reapply for a second year here as an assistant and I change my mind pretty much every other day which, as a 22 yr old I'm entitled to do, right? Right.
Special shoutout to Rodg and his Packers for the Super Bowl next weekend! I'm supposed to be heading on a road trip so we'll see if I'll be up for staying up late to see it.
Hope you're all well
