I finished my French program today and was even awarded a certificate that documents my level of language skill. Susanne and I were both rated as an A2, though Christine said we were very close to being an B1.

Receiving my certificate from Christine
I definitely want to come back to the IS school in Aix for more French study-- maybe next year after our Luberon Experience trip-- and I also plan to be much more diligent about continuing some French studies during the next year. I've made progress, but I'm a long long way from where I want to be.
I was sorry to say goodbye to my classmates from this week. The five women had an especially good relationship, and I really enjoyed our lunches together. I'll be seeing Susanne in Bonnieux next Friday, and I'm planning to connect with Sarah in Paris when Kelly and I are there in August. I really met some great people from all over the world during my stay in Aix.
