Joyeux Octobre!

Bonjour tout!
It is October! Already! I can't believe it! So begins the months of travel. Alot of my friends are going to London or Paris this weekend. I opted out of London as I would rather use my money to go other places and I would like to have some weekends here in Nantes. The following weekend, we have a field trip to the Chateaux of the Loire. (Somthing kind of funny, I can type all the french accents on my US comp but can't figure most of them out on the french keyboard.) Future plans include a trip to Madrid and another to Milan/Venice both of which will involve sometime in Paris! All the travel plans have me very excited! I hopefully will be going to Copenhagen one weekend in Nov.
So this week so far: I had my first real classe at the fac (at the university) without any other american students. It was very hard and the prof talked very quickly and even the french students were having trouble keeping up! I just wrote down important words and hoped that I can find them in books. I also do have to say that my french vocab of prehistoric archeology is not up to snuff!
On that note, I am going to go "feed on" my lunch (my translation teacher didn't realize that feed on is not normally used for people and food but more predators and carcasses or choses comme ça).
A bientot,
Laura
