Today is the last Friday of my trip... ...so I am going to try and make the most of it. In class, we prepared for a poetry slam that we are planning to have on Monday. We had stipends for lunch today and I ate at a really good pasta restaurant in Old Nice. It was my first time having creme brulee on this trip and I loved it. French ...
We began this week... ...of Abbey Road St-Laurent-du-Var 2019 with more French classes and time to explore more of Nice and St-Laurent. On Monday, we worked on conjugating verbs in the conditional future tense. At first, it seems absolutely ridiculous that there are so many different verb tenses, but then you realize that we use just as many ...

On Tuesday, Sara and Camille gave us a list of ...
My first taste of Nice has been fantastic so far. The group arrived on the first day and got settled in immediately. We all made friends super fast and got right to fun. On our first day, the administrators gave us a tour of the surrounding area and took us to the beach. We came back and ate at a fantastic restaurant that was ...
The First 24 Hours It’s been a busy week on the French Riviera. The group arrived at the Nice Côte d’Azur airport on Thursday the fourth, jet-lagged and exhausted, where we met up with the program staff.

I have less than a month left before I get on a plane headed for France... ...and there’s a lot of thoughts swirling around in my head right now. Am I prepared? What’s going to happen when I get there? Will I make friends? However, I’m trying to remember to think about what’s important, especially what will be important once ...
