La Fete De Lumieres

Hey all! I don't have much to write. This week has been, quite honestly, very normal yet busy. Everyone has realized that we only have two--painfully short--weeks left in France so we're all cramming in hang-outs while managing to somehow study. It's like that picture you always see of a triangle and on each corner is one of the words: sleep, homework, social life. Then, above the triangle is this saying: College: you can only pick two. That's my life right now except I'm trying to cheat and have all three but it's failing. 





       Anyway, these photos are all photos of the Lyon Light Festival--which celebrates saint Mary-- (La Fete de Lumieres) which happens every year on December 8th. It was amazing. Quiet honestly probably one of the most cultural things I've done since I've been in France. The old buildings in Lyon synch up to symphonic music and a display of lights are played upon the facade of these buildings.
    It was really just beautiful to see the lights. But you know the phrase "stuffed in like a sardine"? Yeah, that's what it felt like. Over 5 million people were there. This festival is one of the top 4 festivals in France every year. The worst part? No. Public. Restrooms. 
     Well, that's about it. I have three tests coming up this week--super duper nervous--and I can feel the panic starting to rise to I need to get off this blog and study. I hope everyone has an excellent week and I'll be seeing you guys in less than one month! 
     P.S.: Nest weekend I get to go to Alsace and visit Strasburg!  























I hope you all liked the photos!!
