Peronne

We spent a total of three days in Peronne, Genevieve's vacation home which we absolutely love. We had about a week to stay when we came two summers ago and Ruby and I fell in love with the vineyards, cherry trees, gardens and French landscapes. I was so glad we got a few nights in Peronne before and after Lanselvillard. We also stayed in Catherine and Genevieve's father's home. He died a few months ago and they are going to have to sell the house soon. It's a mansion from the 1800s. We stayed there two nights in all and on the last one, Olympe, Ruby and I watched The Aristocats (Aristochats in French) on VCR in the attic we slept in. We watched it in French and I understood everything! Granted it's a kids' movie, but I was pretty proud! Then after dinner we watched Jurassic Park 1 before we fell asleep half-way through.
In Peronne I went on a walk at dusk around the gardens listening to An American in Paris. I found an adorable black kitty that I played with for a while and it was just such a serene, movie-like moment. Peronne is so French and so beautiful, I was sad to leave!
 We went to a little art show in a nearby village while Catherine bought groceries


 The view from the attic, it was raining and made it oh so cool, lovely and it smelled so good! And rain always makes things more cozy and enjoyable



 The Aristochats!
 Emily's friend Spencer and Evyn had farewells on the same day. This is my sad face for both of us losing our best guy friends




Meanwhile, Evyn's farewell was going on!

First day of college

Man, the first day was amazing! I don't have class until 9:30, then I walked over (super easy, short walk) and found my modern class easily. We went over questions and syllabus today so no dancing. I really love the faculty and I'm so glad I got to go to workshops here in high school so I'm a little familiar with the program. Then I had technique 2, and we did one across the floor. The two teachers said "okay, we have some people we want to move up to Tech 3 right now...Golda..." I was so happy! Placement happens throughout the week, but I was so happy to get moved up right away! So now I'm in pointe 3 too. I feel so grateful to be able to dance 9:30 to 2:30 every.day. !!!! I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...

At The Car Wash

Registering my car has been quite the ordeal. I have class until 5 every day and rehearsals Tuesday and Thursday, so finding a time has not been easy. One of my rehearsals was canceled today, so I drove to an auto-mechanic to update my registration. I knew I could get Safety and Emissions done, but thought they could also register my car. Nope! I have to go to the DMV. Then my car was failed, not because of the fact that the rear-view mirror is cracked (I bumped it in my apartment garage on a pillar-not my finest moment) but because there is a smaller circular mirror in the corner of it. It seemed like a tiny adjustment to me and couldn't believe they couldn't repair it right then at the mechanic! But it's fine-plus the owner gave me a free car-wash! Not just any car wash, "The BEST Carwash". It was $9. So I pull into the car-wash and jets start spraying all over and I can't see through the window from all the soapy water. And I'm like this is so cool! I ...
