It's
now the holidays, and high time I looked forward to what next term is
going to be like. It's nearly two months since I arrived in Paris and
I've had a brilliant time - but I've got so much more to learn! Here
are my new goals:
After trying macarons, loving them, and nearly spitting them back out on seeing the ridiculous price tag, I think I'd like to give this notoriously difficult recipe a go myself! Crossed off the list is finding a gem of a local shop, which I've happily discovered in 'Da Rocco', an Italian deli in the 7th. Apart from their delicious take away foods such as pizzas and focaccia, they do the cannoli that I waxed lyrical about in this post, back in Rome. The icing sugar on the cannoli (haw haw) are the cheerful owners who wave at me as I walk by. It was made to be!
Crossed off my list are the visit to Les Deux Magots (see my post here, and a concert (remember Olly Murs here?)
Added
are a visit to the Île St. Louis - one of two remaining natural
islands perched in the Seine (the other being the famous Île de la
Cite, home to Nôtre Dame, and Disney Land - a bit of a pipe dream
but a girl can dream!
I've
gone far past answering simple questions in class (although this is
still terrifying!), and have now taken my first test. Over the
holidays I face the task of writing a commentaire – certainly a big
challenge! Eek – wish me luck.
À Bientôt !
