I couldn’t resist any longer; I needed a new coat. The black Gap wool peacoat I brought with me may be completely appropriate for a Virginia winter but it is most certainly not equipped to handle a winter in Nantes.
During the two-hour lunch break which also marked the period between the written and oral portions of my IRFFLE exam (which determines at which level I will be placed and thus which courses I will be allowed to take) I made my way down to Commerce on the metro with Melody and walked into Jules to take another look at the coat that had caught my eye the past Saturday. It was still there and with only one remaining in my size at 30% off I decided it was a sign that my purchase was meant to be.
I walked out of Jules with a new coat and when I walked back into the building to take my oral test I discovered slews of students with shopping bags. Turns out it is very common to shop during lunch breaks here.
I could get used to that idea…
