So I spent my day today writing the rough draft of my Jean Renoir essay and doing all of the logistical work it takes to close my French bank account, wire money to the US, etc. I know, I know, it doesn't make for very exciting blogging! BUT, it DID make me feel very productive!!! Not gonna lie, I'm kind of going to miss dealing with strangers in French, in situations like this bank account stuff. It's always a challenge that I feel like I lived up to when I can communicate successfully and accomplish what I want. It's a little pleasure that just isn't there when you're speaking in your native tongue.
I did fit in one more goodbye, when I walked through the Jardin de Luxembourg today. Tomorrow will be my last day at Reid Hall, and it's supposed to rain then, so I figured I'd better do it today. As usual, it was gorgeous.
Also, as of about ten minutes ago, there is a summer thunderstorm here in Paris! If there's one thing I love, it's a good summer thunderstorm! It's so cozy and fun (when you're inside, that is). It's supposed to rain tomorrow too, which will be fitting for my final and (hopefully) last day of essay-writing.
A demain!
