And now for Prague…Once we arrived at the train station, we took the metro to the center of town to look for our hostel. We got there…it was on a very interesting street…lots of Cabaret places…good pick Becca. The hostel was packed by the director made deals with us so we were able to stay there all four nights. The first night the five of us were in an 8-bed room by ourselves, the second night we were divided into a 3-bed room and a 2-bed room, and the last two nights we were in a 4-bed room with an extra [View Full Entry]

Technically, I'm not in Budapest anymore, but this post is about it. And I have to say I'm writing from a city for it to show up on my little map. Ok so I apologize for the length of this puppy…just remember, however long it takes you to read…I actually had to write it all out! I’ll probably post the whole story of my week in installments to make it easier on all of us. So as most of you know, last week was our first vacation. We had a week off of classes and the five of us went to [View Full Entry]

I forgot to tell you all about the holidays we've had this past week. Last Saturday (the 2nd) was La Chandeleur, something about lights and candles. Our civilization teacher was explaining it too us last week, but I don't remember why its a holiday or anything like that. All I knew was that you eat crepes. And we had lots of them. We had dinner crepes with ham, egg, and cheese (I think I had two of those) and then dessert crepes. My host family brought out a plate with about six inches of crepes, there's only four people in the [View Full Entry]

Now I have a lot to talk about… Earlier this week Becca and I moved down levels because grammar and orthography were too stressful and frustrating. Now we are in level three with Libby, which is a blast. It’s just the three of us, the professor, and all the Chinese kids. Class is really a lesson in Chinese….we constantly play a little games called “put away the dictionaries.” Level three is kind of easy, but the way I see it, I’m in France to enjoy myself and the experience...being frustrated all the time is not the way to go. We have [View Full Entry]

I don't really have anything new to update on, we haven't really done anything exciting, but I thought I'd try to put a few pictures up for those of you who haven't or can't see the ones I've posted on facebook. [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone!!! I am so sorry it has taken so long for me to update you all on my time so far. The computer situation is a bit difficult right now. To use some of the computers and WiFi on campus we need our student id number and password, but we don’t have those yet…kind of dumb. There is a room of computers that you don’t need an id or password, but the computers are really old and half of them don’t work, the keyboards are different than in the US, and it smells really bad. Oh and my current host-mom [View Full Entry]

Hello all, I am here in France, safe and sound. I haven't been able to get to the internet until now. I can't really say much now except that I'm here and loving it for the most part. I'm sitting in a big room full of people who don't wear deodorant, its pretty bad. When I bring my computer to school I'll be able to connect to the wireless here, so I'll write more then!
