So I managed to complete one and a third list item all in one day last week. It was a Thursday, and though I did not have class, I was headed to SKEMA to use the internet and get some class/scheduling stuff figured out. While I ended up having to wait 30 minutes for the bus and then spend about 20 minutes on the bus, I was ready to get to work once I got there.
FUN FACT: Buses in France can actually go quite fast, when there is not a lot of traffic. And when there is a lot of traffic, I would not want to be anyone driving next to a bus because they edge themselves out there just like a small car would. ALSO, motorcyclists like the use the dotted lines on the road as another lane. Crazy drivers.
However, when I got there, Julia and a couple other girls we met were headed to Nice. So, I ditched all the responsible things I was going to do (well, I did check an email or two) and just SPONTANEOUSLY headed to the train with them.
FUN FACT: There are major sales happening all around the area that started about a week ago and will go into February. All the shopping areas are quite bustling all the time, and the sales run as high as 70%.
I was not going to buy anything, was just excited to spend some time on a train and in Nice. Then, however, I tried on a leather jacket. Poor decision on my part. And the wonderful ladies I was with were so very convincing, on the quality and the superb fit of the coat. And it had roses on the lining. And inside pockets. And some French words on the inside. And it made me feel FABULOUS, therefore completing item 27 on my List. I couldn't say no.
I'm excited to give you an update on the progress of List Item #2 as well, quite the story! But I must go wait for the bus to head back to class again. Talk to you all again soon. :)
