Well, day 2 in France and I couldn't be more excited at what this semester can hold! I feel like I've been awake for 12 days straight, traveling took so much out of me. But, after a few days, I'm sure the jet lag will die down! :) After only spending 24 hours in France, I've made a few observations:
*Wine is cheaper than water.
*The French never look bad.
*I take having cell phone reception for granted.
*Euros look like play money.
*Shops/Restaurants don't open until 7 at night.
*Everything is in French.
The last one might seem like a dumb observation but let me tell you- it's hard trying to figure out exactly what something says at the supermarket. Also, we don't know how to work our washer yet. That's also in French. So, laundry will be interesting the first time!! We had school orientation today, which made me excited to actually start classes and get to know everyone in my class- the French and other international exchange students! Classes start Monday, but I don't have class until Tuesday so I'll it'll give me a good chance to go to campus and visit on Monday and orient myself. Tomorrow is CEA orientation and a walking tour of Antibes, which I'm excited for. Also, on Sunday we're heading to Nice and then Monaco! So much fun. I can't wait to see all the semester has in store. I'm gonna go make myself some dinner- Can't wait to keep this blog updated (hopefully!) and I'll talk to you all soon!
Till next time,
Au Revoir!

:) You will be fluent in no time. Monaco is so cool. You will really like it. Hard to believe it is really a COUNTRY. Looks like you are started out on the right foot with the right attitude. Thanks for keeping us posted.
