Bearing the Cold

School

It has been extra hard getting up these mornings due to the unbearable cold. I force myself out of my warm cocoon to face the freezing mornings. Getting to class is actually nice after my cold little commute.

As for my classes, they are going quite well. I am taking two courses that are a continuation of last semester's Linguistics and 19th Century French Lit. Then I am taking two courses at the foreigner center which consist of French Economics and 18th Century French Art. So far, I find the economics course quite interesting. Linguistics is as hard as ever, but if I put in extra effort, I'm sure it'll all work out.

I only have class Tuesday - Thursday. It is a college student's dream.

Thus - Thursday Night 

It has been a challenge maneuvering the streets of Bordeaux. All the snow has solidified creating some dangerous black ice. Running late in the morning for class has been specifically hard. My usual run has turned into somewhat of a quick waddle. It's really attractive.

So, Thursday night in the dimly lit street I had to be extra cautious to avoid the ice.



When I finally arrived at the Cock n Bull, an english bar I had never visited before, the welcoming warm air burned my ice cold face. However, with a 4 euro cocktail student night, we all warmed up real quick.





Tonight: Tacos at Marina's :) Happy Weekend everyone!
