A weekend of catch up in Rennes

Salut!
   It is a quiet weekend here in Rennes because most of my school is away at the Crit, a crazy sports tournament with all the other Sciences po universities in the country. That means that there is very little happening here but those of us that stayed are making the most of it. I have a big carbonara dinner planned with a friend tonight, hopefully it will work out well even though I have never made it before. Pretty simple so fingers crossed I don't mess it up. The weather here has been lovely, in the 60s most days so today I went out in a light jacket and dress and spent some time in the sun at the park. Saturdays are always very busy in town and most of the restaurants have put out their tables and chairs in the courtyards so it is a great time for people watching and having a coffee outdoors. Thursday I spent some time with a french friend in the of the bigger courtyards because the sun was out all afternoon. Everyone here says it is bizarre to have this much nice weather in March so I know we are really lucky. Next week I have an expose in french class and I am doing work on that. A comparison of women's rights movements in the two countries which I can talk a lot about so it will be good because I have to speak for a solid 15 minutes. Yikes! I have been binging on lots of girl scout cookies sent by my amazing aunt. They have been getting me through lots of stressful moments because all our professors apparently think its fine to cancel classes at the last minute and then reschedule at random times. Very strange. I have made plans with Elle for her big trip in April/May, we will be hitting London, Dublin and Paris. Watch out Europe! Things are already in motion planning for the fall when I get back. Lots and and lots of class decisions, thesis prep and internship stuff to think about. I cannot believe class registration is happening already. It looks like a year of Poli sci and French, and lots and lots of writing. Ah well it will be a very busy year in 11-75 S. Prospect. I don't have any pictures this week because I have spent most of it in the library and my room working on a project all about Jean-Paul Sartre. Next week I will be sure to upload plenty. Hope everyone has a great week.
