Goodbye Porpoise Spit!

Hello!!!

Am super excited as I have FINALLY finished this week of hell (consisiting of 4 exams and a project presentation!) and am ready to party!!! Don't know how I went...some were total flunks but I'll get my results hopefully in the next few weeks so no point in worrying about it for now.

So, last week...Australia Day was loads of fun (Kings of Leon at number 1 of the hottest 100). Unfortunately I managed to catch another cold (I've been sick so often here it's ridiculous). Nuclear visit was cool. Ended up not being an actual plant but where they make the reactors and piping for the plant. Quite impressive and got a free feed so I was happy! Alice's 21st...Pad Thai at her place with cake. A lovely evening. I've been pretty lucky as she has had a few australian visitors in the last few days and I managed to score a few invites for dinner. Always lovely after a hard day of study/exams/stress and it's always amazing food (Jamie Oliver to be precise)! Went back to Michel and Maryline's for one last intensive study weekend. Now it's all over and after the LONGEST week of my life, I am sure this last stint is going to fly by!!!

Here's the plan:

Going shopping this afternoon with Alice. She leaves on Tuesday but as I'm going away this weekend I won't get a chance to see her again. Lucky she lives closer to home so we can still keep in touch (she's a gorgeous gal, a great friend and I'm really gonna miss her)! Also, hoping to get out and shake my booty tonight (it's been too long).

As I mentioned, going south for 4 days to see my long-lost godfather, Frederic! He's not really long-lost but we haven't seen each other in 15 years so there'll be plenty to talk about! He mentioned maybe even going to the Alps for a day in the snow...very excited!

Then, a few days in Lyon to pack up and sort out stuff (so much stuff!) followed by a week in Deutschland! Flying to Munich (found crazy cheap flights) to catch up with all our friends we made on exchange back at school. I'm hoping to possibly even get to Berlin with Sandra (another dream fulfilled, I'm a very lucky gal).

Finally, just a couple of days back at Lyon before making my way to Paris for a final "adieu" with Mamie (I hope it doesn't get too teary) and the final leg of the trip...home!

So it's all happening, plenty to look forward to and definately keep me busy!

Hope you didn't all die in the heatwave!!!

Love from Alex xoxo
