Things I love about France:
the food (the crepes, the cheese, the wine! The landscape, the architecture, the laidback lifestyle, the art museums, the weather (it's been in the 50s almost everyday!), reading on the esplanade because it's so nice out, my room.
Things I dislike about France:
the tram, the internet, being tired ALL the time!
Seriously, these people are so chill and laid back about everything, except the tram. The tram is like the light rail for those of you from Minnesota, and it comes every three minutes. The way people push and shove to get on you'd think there was only one per hour or something. but no, every three minutes. This morning, I had class at 9. By the time I got to school, I didn't even need to hold on to anything to keep from falling when the train stopped and started. I barely moved. It's at moments like these I get frustrated with the French people. Also, when they don't even attempt to move on the sidewalks. Also, when the internet sucks, which is a lot.
I realize I sound like a spoiled American here, but I'm okay with that. I would like to be able to talk to my friends and family, thank you very much.
Okay enough of me being cranky with the French. I just thought if this is going to be an accurate journal I might as well post about things that frustrate me as well as the things that make me deliriously happy.
My classes are going well, I just found out that I get one grade for study abroad and it's worth 16 credits. I better get an A. 16 credits of an A would be simply fabulous. So that's the goal. I just have to make myself do my homework everynight and not skip more than one Friday... which maybe might be difficult. Maybe not.
