Still more catchin' up: Macon & Lycee Lamartine

Ok, a few more pictures of Macon and then a few of my school, Lycee Lamartine.

Amanda, Evelyn, Amanda, and Sarah one night in Macon. That's right, this is a pretty old picture from when Amanda was still here. I like the lighting, and you can see the shutters that pretty much every French building has. Unlike the US, these shutters aren't just for show--they actually work.

This shot is for Emily and Kate: check out this public art! This is the rond point just outside my school. It makes a nice landmark though.
And here is the entrance to my school, Lycee Lamartine. It has an actual gate, because everything is gated and fenced in France.
This is my lovely room. Now I have an actual desk because I traded my table for the one in Erin's room when she moved out. The open door you see on the left is my closet. There are actually two small free-standing closets in my room. My favorite part though is the brown packing tape on the walls. I have no idea why it's there, but I'm afraid to pull it off the wall and find out.
This is my rug from IKEA. It is a little slice of happiness. My standard of living changed dramatically when I put it down. Also, above my bed you can see a bit of the lovely carpet that is covering this wall. It's pretty ugly, and I try not to think about cleanliness, but I'm slowly covering it with postcards, brochures, and tickets, so it's not so bad. At least I can put tacks in it.
MMMMMMMM! These are some real French grapes that I just had to buy and eat because they were so pretty.
And now for the crowning glory! Can you guess what this is?


Well, it's one of the stalls in on of the girl's restrooms in the Lycee. That's right, it's a Turkish toilet. Apparently some parts of the French school system are still in the middle ages. Not to worry though, I use the restroom in the teacher's lounge, which has a real toilet.
