just got back from a meeting with my school contact & have half of my schedule! this school is only a 20 minute walk away, and i work there tuesday and thursday mornings from 8h30 - 11h30! i will definitely have friday off, and i'm going to try to schedule my other school hours for tuesday and thursday afternoons so i can fit everything into 2 days! if that doesn't work, than i'll go for monday afternoons.
this weekend was SO great! asia & i did some cooking in my kitchen:
we were both up early on sunday & got some more road trip & blogging work done before heading to the med! the train to marseille was only about an hour on the way there, hour and a half on the way back? not too bad! & then to cassis it was only half an hour. we arrived around lunchtime, so walked about 3km to town from the station & sat down for some much needed café & food! after chatting with the server, we learned that it was a 2.5 hour walk to the FIRST calanque! oops, poor planning! but it worked out perfectly - we ended up doing a fabulous hour-long boat tour of 3 calanques. & it was C's first time on a boat! the med was an absolutely stunning shade of blue, deep deep blue. i hadn't been on the water since my cruise back in march, much too long! Here are some pictures from the boat tour:
& afterwards we headed straight for the beach, bien sûr! relaxed for awhile, read off my kindle, napped & admired the view :) people-watching was certainly interesting, as it was a very crowded beach. before leaving we unpacked nigel (asia's fab camera) & took some pics:

*sidenote - met 2 other assistants today! one from la suisse & the other from scotland! I LOVE EUROPE. so many people with completely different cultures/points of view/experiences. dinner tonight at A's with a few others...salad, cheese, baguettes, wine & OFII forms! also, i ran this morning! nîmes is starting to feel more like home, more familiar. i'm very, very happy & excited to start teaching :)
