Back to school and to work

Winter holidays are over and we're back to school and to work... it's still cold out here outside Paris but we sure have a beautiful sun and it's getting dark later now. So that's a positive point.
Back to school means that my younger daughter will be preparing her French Bac exam this year. The BAC itself is in the last year of lycée (high school) but a year before you take your French exam and then during the last year you do not have any French classes. Instead you have philosophy classes which is usually not much liked by our students here. Even though she has taken a BAC S - the scientific subjects, my daughter loves reading, it comes before television or the computer. I must confess that when we travel during summer we have a bag dedicated only to books and she will have the 8 books that she can borrow from the library plus around 5 books that I have to buy and a few old comic books that she will take with her and discard during the trip. Sometimes we will go to a flea market to get old books that she will be able to discard along the way - there's no throwing hers away! Anyway I'm quite happy that she's a good reader!
