Hello Everyone!!
I can't believe that it has
been 3 months already! I must start every monthly report by saying
something like that, but I am just so shocked everytime. In these three
months I have done so much. Quite literally, I have started a new life
here. I feel very comfortable with my family, school, and just life in
general.
Since I last wrote I have done so many things.
I hang out with other students fairly frequently, that is always fun.
But, concrete things I have done. Let's see:
-Day of Crepes
with my Host Grandma (who knitted me a scarf, an awesome hat, and now
mittens are in the works!) and on the way home we hit a wild pig with
the car! Who would have guessed that wild pigs were native in France!!
The thing survived too!! Long story in detail, you will have to ask my
some time.
-I went and saw Saint Malo, a very beautiful landmark up north. An old fortified village and well known port.
-Jour
de la Toussaint: super big deal of like remembering all the dead. Very
pretty in the cemetary. Sort of awkward going to grandad's tomb with
family, but they didn't get super emotional so it went well.
-I think a got a speaking role in my theater club! But, it's not 100 percent sure yet so I'll let you all know.
-I
cooked Thanksgiving for my family and didn't screw it up! I had plenty
of advice from my host mom in terms of the turkey, but besides that it
was me!
I am starting to note that I have problems with
my english. It is horrible. Within the process of writing this email, I
have attempted to write about 3 french words. The other day skypeing
with my mother, I threw in french words. It is taking over!
All in all, everything is going super well! There
is so much to share that I just can't do it in an email. Check back
later for the novel version, haha.
