About Us:

We are a group of Duke juniors who will be spending the fall semester in a small town in France called Aix En Provence. During our time in Aix, we hope to travel around France and Europe VERY often, become fluent in French, and join a french hiking club - among other adventures. We also want to keep in touch with you (our dear loved ones)! So we hope you enjoy our blog.

Mme Monchal cautions us to stay away from bad boys

September 12, 2011 - Emily and Maggie

Today we woke up to recorders!  Their melodies were occasionally punctuated by the noise of the garbage truck in the street.  

(During orientation in English, so we couldn't claim that we misunderstood anything)
Mme Monchal: Don't spend your time trying to keep up with . . . what is it?  Bad Boys.
Good thing we don't watch Mad Men anyway.

We didn't entirely avoid bad boys.  Evidence: we are still here, and Renaud is still here.  There was some drama (read: a serious conversation not in front of anyone else--he was actually summoned to the centre, probably by Mme Monchal's magical powers) with the in charge ladies today (they are great), which probably included more drama than my entire life has had.

Maggie: Living with Sara, you just find the strangest things . . . like her phone in the bathroom.

(A few days ago)
Emily: I know why I'm tired, it was that sip of wine I had earlier!
