first exams, first presentation, and first weekender trip! (preview)


Last week, I got to see my freshman year roommate Jill Hackmaster and some of her London buds, and this weekend its my turn, I'm on my way to visit her. Not only will I be visiting London, but I will also be visiting my good&close high school friend Eric Rucker in Oxford. So pretty much a very very exciting weekend awaits me. (the 6am train not so much)

Updates to come:
1) I had my first test in Literarure. We didn't have class this week so I still don't know how well I did, but I think its in the higher teens. France grades out of 20. Pretty much french teachers dont give out perfect grades... so I'm aiming for a 17 or 16.

2) I gave my first presentation in History class. It was over the consequences of WWI. I think it went extremely well, considering I had some help from my host parents (who have had their share of post WWI article-writing).

3) My first weekender trip to London & Oxford.

I promise I will have a detailed post as soon as I come back from London&Oxford!

With hugs, <3 Mayra.
