Ma nouvelle difficulte...

The wireless has been down, so the ability to post has been limited. I've discovered that the french keyboard that I'm using is slightly different than the ones we use in the states, but not so drastically different that you actively notice it, which has led me to a lot of typos! So that is the bug issue I am currently facing.

Today was my first day of class and it's really interesting. For the next 4 weeks or so I only have one class a day-- my french class. I took a placement test yesteray and placed in the middle of the intermediate section, which is exactly what I had been hoping for. My teacher, Annike, is really nice. We only speak french in the class and we have it from 9a to noon. I'm with other people I know, and it flew by really fast. I'm not the best in my class, but I'm also not the worst, which I am completely fine with. We have opportuinities to advance levels, too, so I'm looking forward to that.

I'm beginning to get settled in and feel comfortable here, though so much of it is different from home. For example, today for lunch at the college we had like a meat schmorgasboard with all different pork products... hot dogs, 2 kinds of sausages, some sort of pulled pork, and a hunk of bacon. It was good, it was just different!

The biggest problem I'm having right now is not being able to talk to people from home. I haven't gotten to talk to my mom since I've been here? though we do email back and forth. Hopefully the wireless will be back up soon so I can get into better contact with people. I hate feeling disconnected from my life at home.

That's all for now. <33
