Today is September 1st, la rentrée, the first French day of the working year. Granted, this year it landed on a Saturday, so for most the real rentrée is Monday the 3rd.
I arrived in Strasbourg last Tuesday, which was still les vacances d'été. It's almost funny how different Strasbourg looked today versus the day arrived. When I arrived, the sun was shining, it was warm and people were strolling about in their light, summer gear. I saw many a floral sundress. Today (alongside a recent downturn in temperature), not a dress was to be seen and most people were in darkly colored jackets. Oh, what a difference. Today was decidedly not part of the summer vacation.
Today, I moved my things into my new digs -- more to come on that. I haven't met two of my roommates yet, but the one I did meet is nice.
It feels great to be back.
