“Qu-est qu’il y ahhh…de-dans?”
I'm writing this post thinking how amazingly fast my summer has passed.

Just five weeks ago, I had my hands wrapped around … Continue reading “Qu-est qu’il y ahhh…de-dans?”
Les derniers moments
The last week of Angers flew by ever so quickly. It was very much a week of goodbyes (and final exams) but regardless still full of new adventures and experiences. How unbelievable is that?!

La Journée Citoyenne: “Je donne une journée pour ma ville et pour les autres”
Angers was hosting a city-wide volunteer day and the fambam was interested in going.

There, we would be helping out with the … Continue reading La Journée Citoyenne: “Je donne une journée pour ma ville et pour les autres”

Week 13 & 14: New experiences with new friends
These past 2 weeks in Angers have been quite a juggling act, what with catching up on homework, readjusting back to life in France and simply catching up on sleep!

Week 10: Hot Air Balloons and April Fools Day Disasters
This past week was filled with so much more spring weather! On Tuesday, my friends and I had a picnic on the lawns outside of the university.
