Well, this last week or so has been very relaxing. The
weather was beautiful all last week so we were at the beach pretty much every
day after class which is SO nice. We’re
coming up on the end of our seminar classes with the film festival quickly
approaching so I’ve got some finals and some real work to do. However, the
French mentality is to take your time with things and enjoy life so I’m not
stressing out too hard over it.
The last three weekends I’ve stayed in Cannes which has been
really nice. I did so much traveling in March and April but these last two
months are a lot more laid back. I went to a mall last weekend with some
girlfriends. We took a bus to Nice for the day to shop and came back which was
really fun and made us feel like locals in a way.
This weekend a lot of people
are gone from the college; a lot of the other AIFS students are in Provence for
the weekend. So, it’s pretty empty around here. But today’s been really nice as
I woke up and had a really amazing brunch, then spent the day with my roommate
and best friend, Grace, going to the beach, going to Leader Price, laying on
the terrace, etc. Tomorrow we’re thinking of heading to some cliffs/beaches
that we passed on the way to St. Tropez a few weeks ago. The trip along the corniche
was SO pretty so earlier I looked up how to get there. Turns out they’re in St.
Raphael which is only 20 minutes from Cannes by train and I found the bus lines
for when we get there!
Other than that life in Cannes has been really great!
Classes are good. The weather’s been great. The Festival is on its way. It’s
starting to get more and more into the season here, so more people are showing
up.
There’s a bit of bittersweet-ness I think for everyone because
we’re quickly heading into our last month here. And we all try not to think or
talk about it but it does come up and then we all push it away pretty fast. It’s
just hard to believe we’re almost done being here! Only about 5 more weeks! But
the best we can do is enjoy this place as much as we can these last few weeks.
And after that, I’ve got to plan for my two weeks of independent
travel before leaving Europe! Ah!
