Week Four... What?

I can't believe it's already the fourth week of my stay in France.  It's going by way too fast.  Work at the lab has been progressing fairly smoothly and I've been getting some pretty decent results on the experiments I've been running.  I think I'm really enjoying this opportunity to focus completely on my MQP for one turn.  It allows me to stay in the lab all day and I don't really have to worry about any other classes.  Then again, I only have this one term, compared to the three most people get, to finish this project so it's a little nerve wracking at the same time.

Nancy has been pretty good.  It's certainly warmer here than back in Worcester from what I've been hearing.  It snowed overnight today but because it was so warm out (upper 40's!) all the snow melted by late afternoon.  This past week I've been running around frantically trying to exchange train tickets and finialise travel plans.  I'm pretty sure all the ticket booth people know me by now, I can certainly recognise most of them.  But as of this weekend I'll be traveling every week; to Luxembourg, Stuttgart, Paris (of course), Marseille (warm weather!) and then back to Paris.  This weekend some of us took a day trip to Basel, Switzerland.  We pretty much just wandered around the city but it was super cold so we didn't stay as long as we had originally planned.  I loved the city though and I think I'll probably head back there once the weather gets warmer.
