The ghost came to visit!

Conques=Amazing!
This little tiny town is pretty much where Belle from Beauty & the Beast lived! It is utterly adorable! The roads are all cobblestone with stone houses & a huge church in the middle. I may not come home & just live there!

Thursday we had french in Albi & then got to spend the day out. I got my french student "July" whose real name is Julie but changed it to July because she doesn't like the sound of Julie....Of course I stayed up half the night working on my art history project for the AM. Friday I had to take my writing comptencey exam which wasn't too horrible.

Today Ed & I went up to the Chateau ruins in town. It was gorgeous. Definitely a place that I could sit for hours upon end doing nothing! It was quite the hike though, completely worth it!

So there has been much talk of ghosts around here. Ed & I were here alone because everyone else went into Albi for an organ concert. He was in his room skyping & I was in my room reading with the door open. All of a sudden I hear the downstairs door open (since it's right below my room) and I started freaking out. I knew that the ghost came to visit! I heard footsteps walking around and then I hear the door open to the stairwell. Someone was walking up the stairs & into the common room! I was attempting to tell myself that it was all my imagination! But when I heard the door from the common room into our hall open, I started freaking out! I almost had a heart attack! I was attempting to judge if I had enough time to run to the door & lock it before the 'ghost' reached my room. Instead I decided that if I just ignored it, then maybe it would leave me alone. So I just kept my head down & kept attempting to read. The footsteps were getting louder & louder, closer & closer! I see the blue of a shirt & then the footsteps stop in front of my room! At this point I'm on the verge of tears & screaming, but then again that would do no good! I was a goner! It was better to keep my mouth shut so they wouldn't get Ed either. At this point I figured it wasn't a ghost but some mass murderer that was come to hack me into pieces! A head peeks into my room & I can't stop myself from glancing up! Standing in my doorway was no one but Peter! Thank God! I just had to laugh & tell him my concern! At least I don't think he thinks I'm too crazy! He was just dropping off the key to his car since he didn't want to keep his car at his house while in Spain because the river sometimes floods this time of year. He came to bring Tim his key, yet Tim wasn't in his office so he wandered upstairs. What a relief it was to see him! It was also nice to know that he was around in case the 'ghost' did decide to come!

Ed & I made a nice little dinner & he made cookies. Snicker doodles to be exact. They were delicious even though he forgot the baking soda, which he flipped out about! (: It's all good though. Overall a good week! Now if I can just get all my work done...
