fun times last night

Vanderbilt arranged for everyone to have one night of wine tasting, and so we decided to split it up into two groups: those who took the wine tasting class and those who didn't. Anyway, our (those of us who took the class) dinner was last night, and it was a blast.

We went to the restaurant that some of us went to on our first night here (almost exactly a month ago..hard to believe). The food last night was very, very good. Our four course meal along with the 6 wines made for a nice way to end the day since the Maghreb course seems to be getting worse with every class, and the test yesterday was, in a word, lame.

So, needless to say, I slept soundly last night and when I woke up and realized it was Wednesday, I was pretty excited since the last day of my school week is Thursday (thanks to my awesome scheduling skills). This Sunday we are going on an excursion to the Luberon and some other places, so while there won't be any long range travelling beforehand, I think some of us are going back to Marseille to shop/look around since it is only like 8 euros round trip on the bus, and the prices of clothes are not outrageous like they are in Aix.
