Wow. I'm officially a blogger now that I'm using ridiculous play-on-words for entry titles.
Yesterday at midnight was the release of the Beaujolais Nouveau, an event celebrated with a countdown, much like New Years (countdown to midnight, etc). I decided to stay here in the city instead of going out to the wine country with a group organized by the university. The crowd was absolutely crazy -- I was being pushed in on all sides and lost half of my free glass of wine as half the crowd was moving towards the tasting table and the other was trying to get out. Also didn't help that nearly everyone was drunk.
It's been a rollercoaster of a week what with my first real essay due this morning and Thanksgiving around the corner...I slept through my 8am class this morning that I really wanted to go to, and was my only reason for not going to the Beaujolais. And I finally talked to my roommate from back home and her life has changed so much and I feel kind of homesick. As a result, I'm trying to organize a weekend trip to the Côte d'Azur next weekend to visit my friend who's studying in Menton, a village that sits right up against the Franco-Italian border. And I'm going to try to keep myself busy this weekend so I don't feel too depressed and lonely...
