So Behind
I really find it difficult around this time in the summer semester to update everyday, for that, I appologize to everyone who checks this daily. Things are getting hectic and busier by the hour. Finals are approaching.
If I can remember correctly, the last day I updated was on Saturday. That leaves me to pick up on Sunday.
Sunday-
Like I said, Sarah and I planned on taking a lot of photos that day, which is exactly what we did. We went out on two separate occasions to photograph, each photo session lasting a little more than 3 hours. During the breaks of not shooting, we both had French homework to work on. There was not much down time for us on Sunday. The day pretty much went from us photographing, and then straight to us editing. Photo/Edit Day.
Monday-
Things returned to business as usual. French Writing Comp class in the morning at nine and lunch afterwards. Our final for French writing is next Monday. I am feeling pretty good about it, I just need to study my verbs more as well as conjugations.
Lunch was small, I am trying to save money more than ever now. I still have three weeks in Europe and the last two of those weeks are going to burn holes in my pocket.
For photo class, we took a short excursion to the top of the highest cathedral in Angers. It was an amazing view. I took lots of photos along with Sarah, and Marleigh has already posted a video of us that everyone can watch. I’ll post it below. It was a very treacherous climb to the top that required us to climb these tiny ladders up three stories surrounded by huge bells everyone. Very intense. The bells went off just as we finished coming down….so so loud. Scared me half to death.
After the long descent down to the ground, I headed back to the lab because I volunteered to work from 6:30 to 8:30. :( Afterwards, I headed home, watched a little bit of the classic Big Daddy, haha, and passed out. So tired.
Tuesday (aka The Worst Day)
Not much to say about Tuesday except for it sucked.
It was horrible because I was in the computer lab from 9 am till 9pm, hence I wasn’t able to take any photos on the beautiful day that it was nor enjoy the sun. We had our second to last final cut pro session, that lasted from 9am till 5pm and afterwards, I also volunteered to work in the lab again. :( After leaving the school at around 9. I was flustered because I still had to study for my French Oral and Listening Exam which was on Wednesday. I finished that up around 12:30 and did nothing else except sleep. It was a much needed sleep.
Wednesday - Finally caught up.
SO I hope everyone understands why I have not been able to update the blog regularly as I was throughout the first weeks of the trip. Things are getting much busier each day here. Next week I have the writing comp. final as well as my final photo critique. Though Paris is the reward next weekend. 3 more days in Paris. Cannot wait. Sarah and I are going to see the places we didn’t get to spend much time in or see at all. The Louvre, hopefully Versailles, and Sacre Coeur. Then on the 30, the fun begins, where Sarah and I meet up with Barrett and Sarah. Yes two Sarah on the trip. It will be a great time. Tons of photos have been taken, and I have been editing non stop. I will post some photos after I finish eating dinner.
Tomorrow, we are going to another vineyard for an official winetasting session. Lots of wine will be tested, and I will have a report on which my favorite is when I return tomorrow!
The weather is getting hotter by the day. Much rougher to take photos in, but we are managing.
Hope all is well for everyone back in the states! Thanks for reading everyone!
