Tomorrow will be back to school after two weeks of vacation. However, I have no right to complain seeing as i will be off to Geneva next Sunday for a three day Model United Nations conference.
My achomplishment of this vacation: reading a 400 page book in French and almost only speaking the language. I consider that to a good way to begin the year.
This also brings me to a piece of advice for future SYA students. Get a library card at the Champs Libre. It's free and they have books, movies, newspapers and you can access the other libraries all over the city. It's nice to be able to read books that you enjoy and that are not for school in French and it is necessary to build langauge skills.
