A REFRESHING WIND
Friday:
FX and I got through our last presentation. During lunch there was a weird ambiance in the school restaurant (RU) because of plenty of "seniors" who had their final day. They had all dressed up and some had already drunk a alot! Hilarious!

Friday was Boom night! Synnøve and I went to say goodbye to Mélodie who's leaving for Mexico the second semester. Then we went to Malena's apéro (pre-party) where we met all the other Erasmus! I finally got to pop my 18€ champagne bottle. It was the perfect occation, as the first semester is over! The bad, stressed out feeling was like blown away!
A really good Boom party! Lots of dancing and fun!
Saturday:
I got home around 05h. Around 07h30 I woke up because of heavy wind banging my window shades. After doing my laundry (and starting to read Dan Brown's Angels & Demons) I went to centre ville where I got the Médiathèque card. It gives me free entrance to several museums in Toulouse and four sport events (football or rugby). The wind that banged my window shades had done a lot of damage to Toulouse. Amongst the destruction I saw, a shop's huge window was destroyed in centre ville, there was glass everywhere! When I got back I saw that a few roof tiles had fallen of my residence's roof onto the pavement :S Several HUGE trees on campus had fallen down, one crushing a car, others bending thick metal fences.
Luckily, the tree fell away from the house!
Sunday:
We initially thought about using our free Cité de l'éspace ticket, but found out that it was closed. Instead we (Nina, Fie, Cate, Geir, Kristian, Joao and I) visited Musée des Augustins before we had a delicious but expensive lunch outdoors! Not bad for the end of January!

Then we went for an afternoon cinema session, again with free tickets, watching Slumdog Millionaire. I really liked it, recommendations are hereby given!

Monday:
The first day of "Semaine CREDIGE" or "Semainte inter-semestre", which for me means an intensive week of Module d'overture. My course is Photography and digital post processing, a subject I have plenty of interest in. The first day consisted of lots of theory, most of which I already knew, and some history. Tomorrow, Tuesday, we're starting to take photos ourselves and playing around with Photoshop!
I went to Claire's goodbye party, she's leaving for Berlin on Thursday. That means my primary helper in school is disappearing. Thank you very much for the help and have fun in Berlin!
So, a "short" summing up is over, thank you for reading! See you around for the next post!
