Bonjour! Today was a tad bit of a late start because I am terrible at waking up to alarms! It was okay though because Austin is amazing and called me at 7:30 my time to make sure I was up. It made the morning much happier getting woken up by him instead of my blaring alarm clock! I am writing the first half of this blog post as I am getting ready to head to Paris for the river cruise with the group! I cannot wait and I hope it is going to be really fun. Class to...

Bonjour! Today was quite an early day! I woke up around 7am and got ready for breakfast at 8 with all of our international friends, and then headed to class at 9:30. I am becoming quite the coffee drinker to stay awake in these morning classes and I really am liking it! Today I had a cappuccino, I feel so mature being able to say that! haha. Anyway, we started out in management class today and our teacher today was from University of Alabama so it was exciting...

I went to the mall and had to go to at least five different cell phone stores asking for international phone options...while aimlessly searching for someone who speaks English who can understand my request. It was very tough but I ended up getting a nice lady to help me who actually spoke no french at all but she seemed to exp...

Bonjour! Today was just like any other day with the typical class schedule. However, French class was much more exciting today because the actual teacher was here as opposed to the substitute which made for a much smoother class. She is so sweet and I did not feel dumb for asking any questions. After class, we all got ready and headed in to Paris with a group of about twenty of us! It was so much fun and I saw the Notre-Dame. It was absolutely beautiful. The gar...
