Weekend: Contemporary Art Museum, Picasso Museum, Renoir Museum, Matisse Museum, and Chagall Museum. My favorite was probably (and surprisingly) the Contemporary Art Museum and the Chagall Museum. The weekend was jam packed, getting up bright and early every morning. Our directrice, Sylvie, reminds me a lot of Mr. Horne on our spring break trips. Go, go, go! It was nice to get places on time/early, but it wasn't always so nice getting up at 7am every morning of the weekend. I don't even get up that early on weekdays when I have classes! :-)
We also had daylight savings this weekend, which meant that we lost an hour of sleep on top of not getting to sleep in. However, I am now enjoying the fact that it is light out almost until 8pm, which is an added bonus. I don't know how I'm going to like it in the mornings. I hope it is still bright when I wake up. That is half the reason I get out of bed in the morning...because I can see that there is daylight!
The weather was beautiful, warm, etc in Nice. No Mistral! We also had a "stop over" in Cannes - yes, like the International Film Festival - for a couple hours and went to the beach there as well. It was nice to see the ocean, but made me miss home a little bit. At the same time as it made me miss home, it was also nice to have a taste of home in France!
Today I got up, showered, and went into school to do work. That is always a bad plan I've discovered. But I had to go in to discuss with my group...which didn't end up happening until hours later.
Spent most of the day in class and doing homework. The ray of sunshine in the shadows (aka the dark clouds of homework that I have) was that I received a postcard from Celine, who is studying in Rome! It's so nice to get mail! :-)I have a busy week ahead, but I hope to be able to take some quick study breaks so as not to get bogged down/stressed out.
