It's crazy that there's only a week left! There's still so much I want to do! It has been amazing so far, though, that's for sure. I will definitely have to come back to Avignon, hopefully sometime soon. I was thinking maybe taking a summer off right after graduation and spending it here. I have my whole life to work, why start the moment I graduate? That would be silly. If anything it would be a fun trip to plan, even if it never comes to fruition.
Though I really don't want to leave Provence, I must admit the homesickness gets a little worse every day. For the majority of the trip it hasn't been too bad, but now that it's so close, it has become more difficult. However, thanks to my wonderful, generous, fantastic Uncle Nick, today I was surprised with a taste of home--another care package filled with American goodies! Things like Oreos, animal crackers, more peanut butter, granola bars, fruit roll-ups...the list goes on and on. There's just so much food I couldn't possibly eat it all! Which ends up very well for my fellow students, of course, as they get to share it. So with the kitchenette shelves at the Center stocked with American snack food, everyone was quite content today.
The past two nights at dinner we have had something a little different: barley. Just boiled and served warm with olive oil and soy sauce. No-frills and surprisingly delicious, actually. I think I might try it at home, especially in my kitchen at my school apartment. Among other things. There's definitely going to be some kitchen experimentation when I return to the States. Mom, Dad, prepare yourselves.
Anyhow, I don't really have any homework tonight. I might actually get a chance to read a little. How nice!
Love and miss you all,
Natalie
