I got sick, again! Oh la la I was sick just before I left Bordeaux then I picked up a severe cold on the plane back to Bordeaux. Note: if you are sick do NOT go to WebMD.com, it is a hypochondriac's worst nightmare. I thought I was on my death bed after googling my symptoms! It was knife to the throat status, but luckily I had a few days to rest before school and I am feeling so so much better. Still alive here!
Being Back
Coming back was so crazy. Edouard was so sweet to pick me up from the airport. (He actually works as an air traffic controller and was getting off as my plane landed!) Tired, jetlagged, and starting to feel my cold, I relaxed in Edouard's car. As we drove through the foggy city I remembered why I fell in love with Bordeaux.
Classes
Classes have slowly started and I am trying to get into the swing of things. I know I am here to study abroad and all, but sometimes I feel like my classes are getting in the way of my abroad part! Nevertheless my list of semester resolutions are as follows:
- allocate more studying time
- be prepared - review notes and dates frequently
- try to travel more
- take more pictures
Taking classes in a French university has definitely taught me patience, new ways of learning and taking notes, but above all it has taught me to allow myself some slack. At UC Davis, anything less than an A (even an A-) was not acceptable. I would torture myself sick for perfect grades. Here, I realized life is so much bigger, and also too short, for that kind of mindset. I'd rather be happy and relaxed than so wound up chasing perfection.
