The Fête des Lumières (festival of lights) probably deserves its own entry at a later date (when I'm not too lazy to post all the AMAZING pictures!) but it was AWESOME! There were light shows all over the city and little exhibits and things. Super cool.
Also, on Wednesday, a bunch of friends and I went to an Olympique Lyonnais soccer match! It was a big deal because it was the last game of the Champions League and we were hardly ahead of our opponents, Bayern Munich, in the standings. Unfortunately, we lost, but the 2nd half was really exciting because OL almost came back from a 0-3 deficit at the half! The final score was 2-3.
Unfortunately, I decided to do all my finals (except for one) before Christmas break, which means 3 finals and a presentation this week, all before Thursday morning! But it will be really good to get it out of the way, because then I get a weekend to spend with everyone before the Semester students return back to the States and everyone starts to leave for vacation! THEN, I get an entire MONTH off for Christmas!!
Also, it snowed for like 2 days straight up here in my neighborhood, rendering the snow in that last entry pretty pathetic. I would say that there was a good 3 inches! It has stopped now but it's still cold enough that the snow is sticking around.
I had the best day ever on Thursday. It was the last day of my Hollywood cinema class, so we watched It's a Wonderful Life, which got me warm and fuzzy inside...then, my friend Valerie came over and we baked cookies and played in the snow. How pictoresque!
And on that note:
Happy holidays from my pathetic little 10 inch snowman!!
