the month of may has just flown by. i can't believe i have just one more month left before coming back state-side! i know it's been a while since the last update - here's a couple things i've done lately....
nantes football club soccer match....as usual, we lost. (nantes doesn't have a very strong team and, for some reason, is in the top division. caonsequently, they get their asses handed to them on a regular basis. doesn't stop the nantais from going to games though!)
the stadium at beaujoire....myself, eugenie and april - fellow assistants. the yellow and green things you see us wearing are scarves with the nantes' logo and colors. over here, fans don't wear hats, only sometimes wear jerseys but always wear a scarf.
a player being carried off the field after an injury. the rennes fans, jeering the home team.

i found it interesting that they keep the fans of the opposing team in a separate spot in the stadium and then afterwards, hustled them out a separate entrance! too much violence post-game, i guess. these folks take their football seriously!
earlier in the month, myself and a couple other assistants went to the beach for a picnic. we wound up on ile de noirmoutier - which was just gorgeous. none of us were very photogenic that day, which is why you'll just have to satisfy yourself with beach pics!
since the beginning of the month, many many assistants have been leaving the city, as they had 7 month contracts. (because i am working in a primary school - i have a 9 month contract and so, am here til the end of june.) so alot of may has been filled with going away parties and dinners. it's been sad seeing people go, but i know most of us will keep in touch.
