Wow, my head hurts buuut I am still smiling! Just a little tired, which is much better than the state I thought I'd be in by this time this week. Classes started which means 5x1.5hrs of lecture in French.. somewhat exhausting, but the good news is I think I am really going to enjoy them all. I just need to be very disciplined and follow the reading guidelines.
This week has also been busy outside of class too! It was marikos birthday on monday.. but it is her golden birthday so we proclaimed it birthday week :) So to commence the celebration festivities we hopped around the Marais district monday night- adorable area. It began with a cup of vin chaud -which I came to find that at this whole in the wall meant Christmas in a glass! -mental noted- and then the night ended on the other side of the marais with sparklers coming out of a cake. Definitely a fun time.
Then last night I met up with my friend Kristen for a yoga class. Afterwards we found a complete gem, this funny little place we decided we wanted to be regulars at after yoga each week. When we miss a week they'll worry and mayybe their dog will begin liking us around christmas. Afterwards we hung out at her place for a little while speaking franglish with her husband and their housemate. Once again, nothing but complete patience and kindness- I think God continually puts me in the path of thee kindest people in Paris. Overall, a great night of conversation and laughing. Good for the body and soul.
And to top it all off, tonight I went to my first Hillsong connect group. We spoke more about Brenden's message from the weekend on unity in the Church- some really good stuff. It is so easy to get wrapped up in your own life- or to let your insecurities become your focus- but it isn't all about me (shocking, i know!) and the message was very timely about building others around you and how to create harmony and unity within the body of Christ. Plus- I can tell my vocab is growing! very exciting :)
