wine, cheese, knitting?

Another week is starting here in Lille... can you believe it's almost the end of March? In some ways it feels like the time has gone quickly but I'm still not very sad to see it go by.... in the meantime I will just have to enjoy myself! I'm going to Sephora today for a little spree - if you count shampoo and conditioner as luxuries! The weather is beautiful today so I am looking forward to the walk...

Friday night, we organized a wine and cheese party at our residence - it was very tasty and quite educational! We "learned" (read: consumed) quite a few different cheeses and wines from around France...and it took about four hours! My favorite new discovery is a cheese called "Pate de Flandres", I think it is a regional specialty. The wines were interesting too - I didn't like my choice too much but the others were good!

I also FINALLY finished my scarf this weekend as well as a necklace. The green bead is covered in fabric and I have had my eye on it for sometime. Does anyone other than me get excited over a bead? I don't know, but I love my new accessories! I learned to crochet last week as well so I am embarking on a new project - an iPod case for Jeremy. Hopefully it doesn't look too ugly! (Jeremy I warned you!)

I had an exam this morning so I also studied *a bit* this weekend - I thought it went pretty well. Two of my courses end next week, I can't believe it! I think April and May are going to be pretty slack months around here - I will have to amp up the knitting production!
