What music did I listen to this week?:

I've been listening to a lot of French pop, especially the Belgian singer Angele, to help improve my French listening skills!

What activity was the most fun this week?:

My friends and I have started making a habit of meeting up for Trivia Tuesdays at a local cafe in our towns! This is now week 3 we've attended, and we got 2nd place last week! It's always nice for us to catch up, have some pizza or fries and have fun guessing the various questions. Fingers crossed that we will get first place before we leave!
