Ok, I know, it's been a long time since I last posted pictures. Since Barcelona, I've just been spending time in Grenoble with the occasional ski trip on the weekends. By the way, I've gotten much better at skiing over the past couple of months. I'm consistently on the reds (ranking from easiest to hardest is green, blue, red, black) and the last time I went, I only had one minor fall. Classes have finally started to pick up a little and I am enjoying being busy again. The language barrier in a couple of my classes is very strong, so it looks like I'm going to be spending some extra time with the books to make sure I learn it all. Last weekend I went to Paris to visit one of my friends from UK. I knew it would be a packed weekend, but I didn't realize quite how much there was to do in Paris.Here's the list of what we did starting on Friday afternoon and ending on Sunday afternoon:
