Nice

It´s been way too long since i´ve had a decent computer to write on or enough time to actually do it. so time to catch up

The week after paris we had our first test that thursday morning. it wasn´t very clear what our test was even on, but i studied as best as i could. unfortunatley there were things on there that im not sure we had ever even discussed in class, let alone known they would be on the test. Needless to say im not sure i did too well, but we dont have our grades back yet, so oh well. That night we took a train to paris and then a night train to Nice. I had been on a night train before to switzerland a couple years ago and i didn´t remember it being that bad. so i went in with a optimistic outlook. clearly the train we took to nice was not as nice as the one we took to switzerland. It was the smallest room ever (smaller than my cloest) which had two sets of bunk beds. but these bunks had 3 beds, not just 2. so it was myself and the three other girls i was traveling with and another french lady. very awkward

by the time we got to nice we were beyond exhausted but it was so worth it. I´ve been to tons of cities and countries, but nice is by far my favorite. theres a cute old part with buildings hundreds of years old and twisty turny walkways full of shops and restaurants. theres also a newer place with nice hotels and restuarants on the beach. speaking of the beach, i´m used to nice soft bermuda sand, so the rocks on the beaches of nice weren´t that fun, but it wasnt too bad. It was the birthday of the twins i was traveling with. so we definitely had a good night out for that. the train ride home on sunday was pretty crappy as i hadn´t slept much the night before. but as our fellow french friend said "when you´re dead you may sleep". clearly we´re teaching them helpful phrases.
