This morning we all went to our oral exam appointments to be placed into either and intermediate or advanced 4 week long prep language course. I'm pretty sure I'll be placed in the intermediate, because I definitely need the practice! Afterward, we had the chance to look for housing/au pair positions. My roommate, Marlyn, and I decided to do a bit of shopping for shampoo and other various and sundry items on our way back from the MICEFA office (once we had finished our hunting for the day). When we got back to the hostel, we ran into a bunch of our fellow group members. They said they were going to get falafels in le Maree, so we decided to tag along. It was quite a long walk, but it gave us time to get to know eachother. And in the end, the falafels were really good! Then we got back to the hostel and I rested in my room for about an hour. I headed up to the terrace where a group of the same MICEFA students were drinking wine. So I joined them and we enjoyed a lovely afternoon on the terrace with good wine and good conversation!
Once we polished off about 5 bottles of wine, we decided to walk to the Seine and continue our festivities there. We took a lovely evening walk to Notre Dame.
We sat and chilled by Notre Dame for a while by this big statue, and broke out the wine bottles again. Luckily, there is no open container law in France.
Afterward, we walked down some stairs that are right near Notre Dame, and sat on the banks of the river Seine. It was a beautiful, breezy, warm night.
Once again, we polished off about 5 more bottle of wine between all of us and had some really good snacks.
It was an incredible night, and I already feel like I've made extremely good friends through this experience. I'm excited to see what the rest of the year holds, because so far, all of these people are amazing!
