Au revoir Illinois, Salut Michigan... Puis France!

Tonight is my final night in this fine month of mai in Illinois. Demain, I depart & arrive in Michigan. I will be staying with mon amie, Lisa, for a night. Then, we leave for France ensemble on Sunday! The moment has finally arrived & ready or not - here we come, France!

Lately, I have been reading The Misanthrope, Tartuffe, and The Life of Molière to prepare myself for our histoire class. Since my content-focused paper is on the family, I have been placing a deeper focus on the family system in these plays and stories. It fascinates me to see their family set-up - with the mistresses, scandals, servants, and arranged marriages in so many of the stories. I sometimes have difficulty keeping track "who is who" in these plays with all the relations. However, by the end, a plot twist usually closes up the show. Thank goodness we have a terrific professor that clears up all of the confusing parts!

While I was partaking in my last minute packing tonight, I came across my France box. It simply breathes memories of my last trip as it is full of treasures and mementoes. I found the postcards that I never used from last trip & tucked them into my backpack that is going to France. As one of my teachers would say, "we are trying to keep this el cheapo." But in all honesty, they will come in handy as I have promised a few friends & family members a letter. 

Next time you see a post will be when I am in the Central European Time Zone! Bon soir, mes amis!
