Just an update
So, I have been thinking a lot lately about school and such. I have decided that I am not going to stay here for the year like I had originally planned because I need to go home and finish school. I have decided that this will be the best thing because I will be able to graduate (eventually...) and will then be able to essentially grow up and get a "real" job. Who knows whether or not I will be coming back to France, but I will certainly come back to Europe eventually! I know that some people will think that I will regret coming home early and others will think that thats the best thing to do, but I am not doing it for anyone except for myself. I hope everyone can understand!
As for right now though; I am enjoying my classes. My french classes have begun and are quite difficult. I am learning a lot. There are a lot of interesting people in there too! There is one guy from Iran, 2 girls from Korea, and a lot of people from China. And then there are the americans. Its fun though! My professors are very nice. They get mad if they hear anyone speaking any other language though. As for the living situation; I have moved into a different host family. My new one is just a lady. She lives in a nice little house right on a river. Her name is Marie Begonia, but she likes to be called Bego. I just moved in there yesterday, so i'm still getting to know her. Her house is really far from everything, but at least its nicer there! Its very quiet and serene, and its a good place to relax. It is also close to Missy's house! Missy is probably the one i get along with the best!
Tomorrow the USAC group is going hiking in the Mountains, so hopefully sometime soon I will have more pictures to post on here! It is hard to get online here because the computers on campus are really old and do not support and programs, but it is hard to bring my computer as well.
I have also decided to change my major, for anyone who cares! Right now I am an art history major but I plan on changing it to international Studies when i return. I think that I will hopefully be able to get a better job than if i continued with Art History. I can still minor in art history or in photography or something though!
I also got a box from my mom yesterday! It was nice to get the box because it had a lot of things that I needed! It also had a disc from Ben which had a movie on it of the family and Manon! It was very nice to see that! It made me miss everyone more though!
Well, I hope everyone is doing well back home! I still miss you all!
