To each his own. We are all made differently. We all have different thoughts. We all have different preferences. Me, I think I prefer quieter worship with mini-dancing. Tonight, I experienced crazy worship that was loud, in French, and featured lots of dancing. I'm truly a head-bob kind of girl. And I don't like clapping. That's just me. And it was fun, nonetheless.
I finished class yesterday. I have finals Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. But not many. Then I have a few days off until summer project! Woohoo! I'm getting more and more excited for that.
I love it here [lately]. And I love my people here more than I can imagine. Leaving is going to be hard. But I'm pushing that to the back of my mind for now.
Favorite American-ism that I taught my friends this week: food baby. So useful.
So, I've learned a lot while I've been here in Montpellier. Apparently, according to timeanddate.com, I've been in Montpellier for 119 days, and I have 49 to go. Well it's after midnight. So 48.
Hopefully, I'll learn a lot in the next 48 days. But here's a brief list of what I've learned so far.
Things I've Learned Thus Far in Montpellier:
- Even when you think you're speaking French, you may very well not be understood at all.
- BBQ sauce isn't that bad.
- That person you never thought you'd get over? You can.
- If tuna was the only good left in the world, I would survive. It may smell badly, but it just tastes like poor-quality salmon.
- Having a wolf drawn on you hand is more fun after 10pm.
- There's nothing more fun than riding in a car when you haven't done it in months. But it's still scary in France
- Just because you get a second chance at love with someone, doesn't mean it will work out. Life isn't like the movies in this regard.
- If you have to clean before the cleaning lady comes, your apartment is too messy.
I'll keep you updated on other life lessons. Moi, I'm going to spend the weekend hiking in the mountains. Can't wait.
Love.
