Still in the process of figuring out my courses. ISTC is seeing if I can take courses at l'Universite Catholique de Lille. If that's not possible, then I am probably going to take distance courses from the Mount. Everything happens for a reason, so I am just trying to go with the flow! In other news, I spent a good 4 hours at Euralille, a mall here, today. Since today was the start of the "solde," there were SO. MANY. PEOPLE. I think I spent the majority of my time in a line. There were some crazy sales too. For the most part, it seemed to be 30-50% off (as I mentioned in my last post) but some places had up to 80% off. I ended up buying 4 shirts, 2 scarves, and a pair of sneakers. I still want to buy a bag/purse, boots, a Lille football (changed my lingo while here) jersey, and a jacket. I found the most amazing jacket that was exactly what I had been looking for but the only sizes left were small and large. Sad. I'm hoping I can find a similar one elsewhere. I'm sure I'll be able to find one seeing as I will now be here until the end of May/beginning of June. I guess I should explain that. So I could get more credits here, I had to sign up for a course that has an exam at the end of May so I'll be staying even longer! Both exciting and sad as I absolutely love France but I miss my friends and family. Now, back to the mall. Not only was I having fun shopping the sales, but I was having fun people watching too. Everyone is so fashionable here... well, almost everyone! I got a lot of ideas for things I wanted to buy from people I have seen since I have been here. Everyone at school is really fashionable too. I don't think anyone here would ever be caught dead wearing jogging pants to school. At exam time, the Mount tends to be a sea of people in sweats. I didn't bring a single pair of sweats but I'm still scared I look like a slob haha. Tomorrow I am going to meet up with a girl who went to high school with my friend from the Mount! Small world!
Au revoir!
