Well yesterday was quite the day. We got up at our usual hour and had a meeting about what loose ends of the class needed to be tied up. Directly following this meeting, we collected our gear and headed to the hostel's dining room to work on our presentation. Dr. C told us it would take six hours so we didn't want to do it all on Sunday, plus Kait left a day early so we wanted her to be able to collaborate with us. We worked and worked and got frustrated and kept working. It was a pretty hard thing. We got it finished at about 4:30 and then let Sam finish up the formatting and we presented at 6pm. Dr. C said it was in the "A" ballpark. Whew.
After that was done, we changed out of our working clothes and went out for our last group meal. We went to a place called Chez Clement and it was so lovely! The decorations were all spoons and forks and things, but it didn't look modern at all. It had hanging plates and a china bird in a metal cage and it was just really cute. Our waiter was so funny and the food was delicious. I had a fillet of pollock with pepper sauce and rice, along with sparkling water ("with the big bubbles," our waiter said). To go along with this I had a glass of Chardonnay and a floating island, which is soft meringue in a pool of custard creme with some caramelly sugar wisps on it. It was delicious. Of course we also had baguettes and lots of fun, and Covenant paid for it all, hoorah!
Then we came back and got in bed. We watched an episode of Modern Family and went to bed promptly.
I'm glad today is our last day in France. I'm ready to be back home with my family because 1) I love them, 2) I'm running out of money and need to get a job, and 3) I am running out of energy to want to be here. Then again, that last one has been waning ever since I arrived, probably because of the rushed nature with which school ended.
I'll update this afternoon after I pack!
