Bahh ouais.

Bonjour à tous!
First things first: EXAMS ARE OVER!!! I would say “finally” but seeing as I only had three I think that’s going a bit too far :-P! They all went ok... harder than expected to say the least, but now just have to cross my fingers and wait until 18th January and see!
The Fête des Lumières (Festival of Light) was amazing; the city was totally lit up, and although you couldn’t really tell the difference from up high, on the ground level Lyon was absolutely incredible; I’ve got a million and one photos, only a few of which have been put up on Facebook. I went out three of the four nights and managed to see everything I wanted to, although there were around 70 spots around the city to go so I hardly saw everything!
I also did Secret Santa with about 8 of my English friends here; I got Hannah so that was easy enough ha-ha, although it was pretty hard keeping it from her! And Neil had me and got me some Ferrero Rocher’s, most of which seem to have disappeared with the help of Han, Steffi and Cryssy...
Tonight I’m going to go on the Ferris Wheel in Bellecour, and go out for my last French meal for a while in Vieux Lyon; I think the plan is to order one of those melting Camembert’s, MMMM so good  Han and I’ve been saying we’ll have one all term, so it’s probably about time we actually got one ha-ha.
I haven’t even STARTED packing yet, which is turning into a slight problem; I really should start doing that soon! I’m catching the 5:15pm bus from Perrache (central Lyon) tomorrow so will have to leave halls around 4:50ish to be safe, and then will arrive in Gatwick at 20:15 English-time; any “Welcome-back-to-England!” texts will be greatly appreciated:-P.
All About Hannah:
It was recently pointed out to me by a very close friend that in my last blog, I neglected to mention a VIP concerning my year in Lyon: a certain Miss Hannah Victoria Buckley. Whilst this observation was, of course, made by hers truly (funnily enough,) she does bring a valid point that my readers would all like to know about how she is. To this I will answer that she is very well; she is currently uploading photos onto Facebook, and is looking forward to Camembert this evening and having a buffet ready and waiting for her when she gets home, where her family will be waiting for her in a line outside her house, waving.
I think that sums everything up lol... I’ll definitely blog again over Christmas, so the next time you read I’ll be in the UK; the land of turkey, The Times, Father Christmas and The X Factor. Life is good (“,)
Bisous! Jess xx
