I have really been slacking on my blog entries! I'm already a week behind... but I will try to catch up right now.
On Wednesday after our EU law final exam, we hopped on the bus and headed to a winery in Bordeaux. The bus ride was pretty long but it was beautiful, seeing all the different chateaus and the grape vines. The winery we went to was called Chateaux Gisconde and it was one of the largest in the Bordeaux region. We saw lots of barrel of wine-- millions of euros worth of wine in just a few rooms! We also saw the process by which they make sure the wine is ready to take out of the barrels and move onto the next step (very sophisticated-- they pour it in glasses and check the color by candlelight). We also got to taste some wine, and I bought a bottle of it as well. Not my favorite red wine so far, but it was definitely tasty! I also bought a wine glass there too, so hopefully that makes it back in the suitcase.

On the way back it was serious nap time. Then, I got moving on my last journal application. I wrote the essay pretty quickly and finished just in time! It was a pretty stressful evening, but all in all it was totally worth it because after I turned it in I was DONE. Done with journal applications! I'm really happy that I finished both of the ones I wanted to do. But now its over, and I can just focus on class and having a good time here, and relaxing a lot more.
