Early Christmas

A sad one actuallyL. Almost everyone’s leaving!!! Next year only I and most of the Spanish people will be left and the other Aber girl until April because her German uni semester starts then and since she has a boyfriend here, she decided to stay here and not go home for those couple of months. Hopefully there will be a couple of new Erasmus students coming for the second semester. You might think why haven’t I found any French friends, but it’s not so easy you know! :D Especially as practically in every lecture I am with different people – my own fault. Don’t get me wrong I’ve found a couple of French friends :D yay but they’re doing a course that consists of one week of lectures, the next week working somewhere (internship at an hotel etc) then a week here etc and most of the students go home Friday evening and come back Monday so the town is almost empty on a weekend :D So the poor Erasmus students who are constantly here have bonded J I’m not even going to mention the language barrier that paralyzes me when I try to talk to someone for a long time :D I can cope with small talk and answering questions but holding up a long conversation is too much for me. Even now after spending 3 months here lol. Next semester I will make more of an effort to speak French, I promise!

Back to why it’s an early Christmas though: Because everyone’s leaving their stuff that they can’t take with them to me :D Like pots and pans and plates and bowls. Coffee, salt, broom etc. :D My room is once again filled with stuff that I most likely have to throw away with a hardened heart, but it’s all good right now :D

And yesterday was a Christmas Party with free food and small gifts for everyone! Organise by some student Society and unlike Societies in Aber, here you do not have to be a paid member of any society to take part of their parties or activities J Sooo yay free food, and good food not just some snack you’d imagine, but pasta with vegetables, ham and cheese baguettes, baguettes with their Corsican sausage figatellu, little toasties with pate or salmon etc, crisps, mandarins, fruit salad for dessert and probably something else I forgot, oh yeah beer :D yeap... The good life in one of the richest unies in France apparently J Me likey. They played good club music unlike the crap you can usually hear at the clubs in Aber so I just mostly sat there listening to the music, it wasn’t a club atmosphere so no one danced and that would’ve been weird. At one point Father Christmas showed up and gave little gifts and Christmas hats for everyone. The little gift included candy and a small lighter :D You know you’rein France when a lighter is part of a gift for EVERYONE lol :D No complaining though free stuff is free stuff.

Ttyl ;)
