i just had one of the best days in France yet. i had lunch with Pastor Keller, from my new church, and his family. they were very nice, and we had veal stew and cabbage salad - somehow really good haha. my classes were more interesting than normal this morning, and i'm feeling more prepared for them. i'm getting ahead in work, so that's good.
i came home from lunch and had a long chat with my host sister, who is still awesome. then i went out for my rendez-vous with my new language partner, alexandre. here's where i made a typical american mistake - a rendez-vous at 19h15 does not mean 5:15. Americaine stupide! it's ok; i laughed at myself and alex and i met a little earlier after i'd grabbed something to eat. he's very nice; he's russian and speaks french perfectly, and he's orthodox christian, practicing, which was really cool to discuss. he invited me to a taize service for young people that happens once a month this coming monday that is a mix of a bunch of different christians, so thats pretty cool. i'm interested to experience an authentic, french taize service! so alexandre and i walked around a lot and he showed me the beach and a different part of town that i hadnt seen before. i think he's coming to the Callanques (these cliffs and little inlets and harbors with the ocean close to marseille) this saturday, which is exciting. nora and her language partner, nolwell, are coming as well, i think. we'll have a picnic and walk around a lot and take pictures i'm sure.
then i came home and watched a program on sights in paris and talked to my host mom for a while. now i'm about to pass out so i'm going to sleep! things are looking up tho, and i'm feeling like i'm getting back to my normal, busy, enthusiastic self - yaay!
