Bonjour! Today was the last day of the program! The ceremony was fun. Every class went on stage one-by-one to present what they learned over the course of the program. Some kids even got to talk about what they found most shocking about France. One of the Asian kids said that he thought it was crazy how the French people cannot hold their bladders because it smells like pee in a lot of places. I thought that was pretty hilarious. I realized how much I learned ...

It was pretty cool to be able to say I went to the European Commission. We had to go through security to get in and ...

Erin and I really have the timing thing down because we realized if we just shower at night and get our school stuff ready at night for the next day, we can wake up at 8:45, leave at 8:55am, make it to breakfast and have about 30 minutes to eat and make it class with a few minutes to spare. It's a science, really. Haha! Today in class we had a professor from Russia....
