peaches!

have you ever encountered peach scented toilet paper before? because i have become intimately familiar with it over the last week or so. wow.

that's probably the most exciting thing....no okay, um what have i been doing.

trying to speak french exclusively and failing miserably. i'm at the point where i've can't speak either language properly (a few days ago at dinner i generously offered to cut the cheese without thinking - and i just watched the entire run of Freaks and Geeks so this should be fresh in my mind).

went to Antibes on Sunday to check out the Musee Picasso, it was nice. there were some really great drawings and a couple paintings i liked.

went to St. Paul de Vence yesterday on an Institut excursion (we had a day off from school because legally the staff can only work something like 37 hours a week, and since our school day is typically 8.5 hours there's a free day each session). we also went to some tiny village way way way up in the hills (i forget the name) which involved a large bus on a tiny road with a tiny guardrail. at one point i was looking out the window (tempting vertigo) and saw a little car all crumpled up below us. reassuring.

i've been trying to read the paper in french lately, it's sort of working (i can get the gist of what's happening in the world at least).
