Nice update

Okay, so just wanted to update y'all a little bit about what's going on in Nice. I love Nice. It's really pretty, and we met up with Justin (a guy from our program who was also in Nice this weekend) to have dinner and walk around last night. So that was really nice.

Yesterday during the day Grace and I walked around some, went to this huge mall (i spent nothing, be proud!) and to the Virgin Superstore (...it's all music and books. No comment). We spend almost an hour in the Virgin Superstore, and we both spent some money on some French music. I checked my receipt afterwards (because my parents always do it, and I just picked up on the habit), and it turns out that they overcharged me by €12 on a book a bought. So i'm going to go back today and say, 'excusez-moi, madame, je l'ai achete hier apres-midi, et le livre est €12. Vous m'avez charger...' blah blah blah. So yeah. That should be interesting. We'll see if my French is good enough to get me a refund. I mean, i still want the book, so technicially it won't be a refund, but a...partial refund? I don't know, they overcharged me, so what's it called when I get my money back? Dunno, another thing to ponder...

Today we're going to go to the beach again, but I don't know if I'll be able to get in. It's kind of windy today, and I'm guessing the water's gunna be uber-cold. I'm glad I went in when i did, because now i can officially say I've swam in the Riviera without freezing my buttocks off. (I almost said a** but i know Maw-Maw reads the blog now, so I'm trying to be more careful) =)

Then we're going to go to the Virgin Superstore to get my money back, then I don't know what we're going to do. We're here until tomorrow at 14h30, so it's pretty great. We can just take our time doing what we want.

Like i said, it's like a vacation from a vacation.

okay, I'm gunna go now. I'll skype some of you on Tuesday!

I'm glad you're having fun. Nice sounds great. I almost made a really bad pun there, but I didn't. Be glad.
And thanks for your offer. I really appreciate it, but I think I'm just gonna have to make do. Something will work out, it always does eventually.
