Last Day

Today's the last day I have in Rennes. Quite bittersweet. I won't get too reflective here, just enough to say that it's been really, really tough at times and I wanted to give up more than once, but I made it and I'm better for it, and I will miss all the friends I've made here!

Yesterday I lived it up.  I went to the carnival thing outside the movie theater and had a blast.  We rode this TERRIFYING ride (my eyes were shut the whole time, Sally has some hilarious pictures I'll have to get from her), ate cotton candy, and rode the "Speed Mouse / Mousse" roller coaster.



I don't have photos for what follows but other people do so I'll steal them whenever they appear.

After that I had my last dinner of galettes and cidre with Sally, Jenny, Matt, Becca, and Kelin.  I had the classic galette complet tomate, and a chocolate crepe with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream for dessert. So yummy.  Then we bought some wine to take to Kelin's and played cards for a while and took some seriously goofy pictures.  The last thing we did was brave a bar Rue de la Soif (my first and only time!) on a Thursday night to see and say goodbye to some people.  It was surprisingly a good time.  Also the world didn't end.

Yesterday was great.  Today in my language study class we said goodbye to everyone, and it was kind of strange that I probably won't see some of them ever again.  I still have class again in a couple hours, but that one won't be so bad to say goodbye too, I didn't talk to anyone really. Just a bunch of snotty other Americans, ya know.  Then after that, it's one more time at the Haricot Rouge and one last evening with MP. 

On the train to Paris in t-minus 18.5 hours!
