In other news, I'm getting really excited for visits from some people:
1. Alicia is coming this weekend and I hope to eat French onion soup with her.
2. Jay is coming on the 23rd and then we are going to Venice for a week for vacation.
3. Sarah Quincy might be coming for the first week in November to visit for a couple days!
We've also made some progress on the apt hunt for Jay. We found a place literally a street down from me that looks really nice. We put in a request to the renting agency and are hoping to hear favorable news! It would be so convenient to have our 2 places so close together. Trying not to get my hopes up, but it would sure be nice to have this nailed down.
On the food end of things, I made myself quite the pasta dish -- grilled up a sausage, cut up 1/2 of a tomato, mixed in some canned spinach, topped it all off with some pasta and tomato basil sauce. Easy, delicious, and perfect with a cup of cab sav.
I finished off the night with a walk down to the Seine and pont neuf where I saw one of the largest rats I've ever seen.
To clear things up for my mother, and anyone else interested in my academic schedule, I am taking the following classes:
Français II (An advanced French language course that is required by the SLC program)
"La france multiculturelle" (Sociology class about, well, France's multicultural history)
"Les grands romans" (Lit class: we read balzac and flaubert)
