Sadly, and after trying to put it off for as long as we could, we finally had to turn on the heat in the house today. The nights are getting relatively cold and in the morning I can see my breath when I walk to school. Also, it is dark here at 7:30 am, so I walk to school by the light of the street lamps and passing cars. But there are enough students going to school and people driving or biking to work that the streets are far from abandoned.
Loulou is sleeping on my bed right now as I finish a science essay, in French, for tomorrow. He has been giving me the death stare for a good part of the afternoon because I refused to give him dinner because it was too early. But now he has settled for curling into a small ball in hopes that I won't see him and he will get to stay here the whole night. He won't. He snores too loudly.
Two more days of school and then a two week vacation for Toussaint. For some reason, when a vacation is coming, time slows down until you are sure that it is not possible that it is only Wednesday. Amazing how that happens. I am going to try and catch up on posts during the vacation, (cough 3rd Bretagne trip cough), but will also have new stuff to talk about as we are taking a three day voyage around the Loire valley to see many of the old castles there.
