Day 50: Le temps comme le printemps. Il pleut en mars. / Weather like springtime. It rains in March.

The soirée was really fun last night. We didn't actually dance but it was fantastic to just watch the people dancing. The twisting, twirling, spinning, dipping, and fast steps were just amazing. I wish I had taken some pictures, but it would have been awkward/bizarre/inappropriate to do so. Anyway, the three of us sat and watched until about 1:30am.

This morning, Michel said it went well. He was glad to hear that we had fun. He thought my friends were nice and was glad to hear we enjoyed watching the dancers. He said he did the same thing quite often - it's like watching a theater show, etc.

I left for lunch with my friends outside. Yes, outside. It was beautiful today. We bought sandwiches and sat by a tree in the Place de l'Horloge. After that, we got ice cream/gelato - I got a scoop of apricot (l'abricot). From the taste of it, I think it was ice cream not gelato, but with the flavors of gelato. None the less, it was delicious.

Then we headed to my house, I grabbed my stuff for studying, and headed over to Mirel's house. There is an outdoor patio and garden at her house. We sat out on the patio and studied for about 4 hours. I then headed home and took a little break from studying.

For dinner, we had "steak" (a hamburger), cooked zucchini in herbs, and homemade french fries. For desert, Claudie made an apple tart with cinnamon on top. Thin, light, and delicious!

Watched a movie with the French actor, Vincent Lindon, who was in a recent, highly celebrated French movie. Last night the French version of the Oscars, the Césars, was on, and he was nominated for an award for his role in the recent film, "Welcome."

Then, came back to my room and studied for my exams which start on Tuesday. I am glad I only have 4 (because of my University course). It makes studying less stressful.

À bientot.
Bon chance pendant le mois de mars!
