Le 73ieme jour: Le printemps arrive!/Spring is here!

Beautiful weather today. Wore my sandals and was very comfortable.

Had Lit. class where we are discussing "The Other". We are currently discussing Marguerite Duras, though I don't 100% understand her relationship to the discussion of "The Other". I hope that perhaps the next class will clarify that a little.

Today's weather was gorgeous. I think it was well over the forcasted 15 degrees Celsius - 59 degrees Fahrenheit! How awesome!?!?! I booked my hotel for Cassis for spring break. It is a small fishing village along the coast of the Mediterranean...the pictures of it look gorgeous with sandy white beaches and steep, rocky cliffs. I can't wait to go!

I came home a little early, It was relaxing to sit in my room with my tall, narrow window open and the light breeze blowing in!

I helped set the table for dinner. I always try to each night, but I always manage to arrive too late and she's already done it. Today I arrived just while she was in the process of doing so! Super exciting. Well, I guess not, but I was glad that I was able to help! The dog was going crazy and has been the past couple of days. I think it's a combination of Gabi (Claudie's daughter) and her cat (Ramon) just leaving and also Woody's anticipation of Michel returning to Avignon tomorrow. I have learned so much vocabulary variation just from what Claudie says to Woody (Calme-toi, Tais-toi, Pousse-toi...).

Claudie had to do the bills and accounting stuff today for the theater. I told her that my parents are both math teachers. She told me that she was never good at math, but always enjoyed languages (Latin, Spanish, and English) and things like that.

After that, she pretty much left to go down to the rehearsal she has every Tuesday night. I watched some tv but then went in for the night around 11:30pm (23h30 - much simpler way to do it, doesn't require any "a.m." or "p.m." nonsense!).

We had eggs with smoked ham (jambon fumé, kind of like bacon) for our first course and the spaghetti with tomato sauce and grated cheese for the second course.
