Dear students,

I hope you are all OK. 
Last weekend, I flew to Quarantine city. The plane was very comfortable and I watched one of my favourite musicals : Hair.
Then, I got a taxi to Quarantine City and I found a nice hotel. Everybody had a mask, but I saw George Clooney and Timothee Chalamet sitting at the bar with Rihanna. I went shopping for good books and I had dinner in my room. Of course, I chose a chocolate dessert. The next day, I went around Quarantine city for a walk. It is beautiful, but I felt lonely because of the Covid instructions. Finally, I came back to Angers and realized there is no place like home, especially in Covid times.

I hope to see you soon at school.

Best, 

MCC
