A very foreign thanksgiving and a few more things

Before I start I would like to say that I know you or people you know may be in panic mode because you are no longer able to read about island adventures with Ryan's adventures being over. Have no fear you can still read or direct others to read this blog. I know its mediocre but it can probably suffice until you meet somebody else who is doing something more interesting.

Lets start with Thanksgiving. No I didn't get a Thanksgiving break but us americans at the school had the honor of sharing our wonderful holiday with everybody who so chose to come to our event for the day. It was a very new experience for many. I had to explain to many though that it doesn't really count for multiple reasons. 1 most people weren't with family. 2 Most people only ate 1 plate which we all know doesn't count. 3 there was no football or parades. 4 It kind of helps when you actually celebrate in America. But no matter, it was good evening trying to share our cultural differences.

Honestly, besides there have not being many things going on here. I have been studying quite a lot as of late. This is all in preparation for finals here which take place next week. Everything I do has been french-related even more than usual. I did get out one evening to go to the cinema but the film was still in french so I count it as study time. If anybody has any interest its a very good film called "Intouchables" about a paralyzed man in a wheelchair and his unlikely young helper. It becomes a comedy... I think... people were laughing at least in the theater and I had enough trouble keeping up with the story let alone the jokes. But for the most part it was a very beautiful movie.

Well, thats about it for this week. Sorry no major adventures but come next week after exams comes a long winter break. I know for sure I will be going to Lyon, Alsace, and Paris possibly some more places so until then just read some re-runs of Ryan's Blog haha.
