sitting in the dungeon bored with my work....

Yea, I am sitting in the little annex all of us students have a key to that is affectionately called "the dungeon." At first I thought it earned the name thanks to its low ceilings and the somewhat jail-esque architecture, but I think a more apt reason is the fact that there is no power here. Yes, they have been telling us that it will be fixed since we got here (the latest estimate is after fall break, as in 2 weeks, lol), but electricity in Aix (in my experience) is spotty at best. Therefore the only real redeeming quality is the fact that it has wireless internet, and while the center closes at 11:00PM, the dungeon is open (since we have the key) 24-7, so it is great for times like now when I have to write a paper.

Unfortunately, the paper is quite boring, so I decided to take a little blogging break. On Sunday we visited a number of towns including Gordes, which is basicaully built on this cliff, giving the town a ridiculously good view. The second place we went was a little town where some of us had a hhuuggee lunch which was extremely tasty, to say the least.

Here are some pics of some of the places we visited.






Oh yeah, here is a pic of "Mr. B" that Matt and Amanda created during the bus ride (yea, it was boring):
Isn't he so french?

On Friday I went to a dinner party hosted by the 5 girls and 2 guys (Bavo and his friend Francois) in their apartment. It was lots of fun and the food was really, really good. They all know how to cook, and we were all quite stuffed after the meal. There was then a few games of beer pong, and below are some pics. Afterwards we went out to a club which a lot of fun.




Well, hope you enjoyed this update...I prolly won't have time to do one till after Barcelona, but it should be a good one since I am planning on having an awesome time...
