phew, finally blogging from Nîmes and about Nîmes! not that i don't love traveling, but it's going to be nice to stay in France for awhile. time to get stuff done & start thinking about what happens after this program! this week has pretty much focused on going to the gym (salle de sport en français) with anna & sarah & teaching. gym sessions have been great, we discovered a punching bag in one of the back rooms of the gym & have been having some fun with that after frustrating teaching days. sarah & i are doing workouts written by her boyfriend, who was a personal trainer for awhile. it's nice to have some kind of plan instead of going in & doing whatever! since the gym is small, we're starting to see some familiar faces & chat a bit more with the owner & the trainers there. it's definitely a bit more of a community than l.a. fitness was this past summer. they've always got free coffee out, and often a cake or something brought in for members to snack on (probably not the most fitness-oriented snack though...).
teaching this week went relatively well, nothing to special to note! currently teaching food & finishing up seasons with the youngest classes.
had a girls night on friday night with sarah, anna & megan - made personal pizzas (thank you many fridays at denison, miss the friends that started PPP friday with me!) and attempted cooking macaroons....which was pretty much an epic fail. we went for vanilla, next time i think we need to try one with more flavor. and follow the directions step-by-step instead of skipping a couple...oops. watched a chick-flick, talked girl stuff & went to sleep! the first week of hardcore workouts is exhausting!
tomorrow - off to montpellier for the day to go to an american football (!!!) game with asia! nimes v. montpellier - we just found out there's club football here, very excited to be super american & see a game again.
all for now - bisous!
