| Relaxing
2006-05-26, Cannes, France. By: jennys | | Friday was a pretty low-key day. In the morning I went to class. There was some debate about whether or not Anique wanted us to take both Thursday and Friday off or not, and since I never heard her sa... |

| Monks, Pizza, and the Emperor
2006-05-24, Cannes, France. By: jennys | | Wednesday was a varied day. In French class, Anique, in a very roundabout way told us not to come to class on Thursday. She said it was a French holiday and so things like the post office and banks wo... |

| Zidane and chillin on the beach
2006-05-23, Cannes, France. By: jennys | | After the excitement of Monday, Tuesday was pretty average. In French class we started another old French comedy. It was a lot of physical humor, nice and easy to understand. I enjoyed it.
After cl... |

2006-05-22, Cannes, France. By: jennys | | Monday morning, I had my first final of the term. That’s right, more than a week before we would be finished with our classes, I had my French final. Now why we took it that early is beyond me, but wh... |

| Surprises…
2006-05-19, Cannes, France. By: jennys | | Friday morning came very early, probably because I was up so late Thursday night. So the morning was breakfast and French class. Nothing too special happened in any of that. After lunch, I walked into... |

2006-05-17, Cannes, France. By: jennys | | The day of the film festival opening had finally arrived. It’s crazy to think that it’s here. We’ve been waiting for it to start for so long, and now that it’s arrived it means just about the end of o... |

| A pleasant surprise!
2006-05-16, Cannes, France. By: jennys | | Tuesday, only one more day before the beginning of the Film Festival. The morning was pretty normal. More subjunctive learning in French class. For real, I’m about to explode with all the subjunctive ... |

| Subjunctive verbs and other things
2006-05-15, Cannes, France. By: jennys | | The start of a new week in Cannes meant the start of a new verb tense. Subjunctive! It’s kind of an odd tense and super intensive! My head was swimming with information. By the time lunch came, I was ... |

| Happy Mother’s Day (and a bit about Pirates)…
2006-05-14, Cannes, France. By: jennys | | After our late night of watching movies, we fully intended on sleeping in before going to brunch. That plan was foiled by a large group of Americans in the courtyard. They got there about 8:30-9 and b... |

2006-05-13, Cannes, France. By: jennys | | Saturday, the 13th, the day of our final AIFS day trip. After that, there is only one afternoon excursion and then it will be time to go home. Crazy to think about that! I can’t believe it’s almost ti... |

| Battling the Internet
2006-05-10, Cannes, France. By: jennys | | The week was going quickly, Wednesday had already come. Class was kind of funny. Probably because Anique is a funny woman and I’ve begun to notice the quirks she has. Whenever she asks me a question a... |

2006-05-08, Cannes, France. By: jennys | | The train ride back from Rome was a little nuts. I did get to ride all the way in the same compartment with Rachael, even though that wasn’t my assigned seat. No one came demanding for me to get out, ... |
