I’m sitting in the Philadelphia International Airport on my way back to France after Christmas break. Being home was great. I am sitting in this airport waiting for my plane and surround by all French people…I am suddenly happy! I feel home again! Comfortable! The pit left my stomach and I feel the strong sense of amazing-ness that I feel each and every day while I am in France. God is so amazing in his ways…it couldn’t be more perfect timing for me to end my 4 year relationship. Meeting so many people every day that inspire me and are just [View Full Entry]

Trip on Red Wine Europe » France » Pays-de-la-Loire » Angers
Okay, I have the most intense thinking sessions on my way home on the bus every night. I have grown to LOVE my time alone on the bus...about 15-20 minutes/ish on my night bus. Ijust love listening to my iPod and observing the French culture. Sometimes I put my iPod on pause and evesdrop on the conversations going on on the bus. Creepy eh? Haha...I dont care....I am obsessed with the fact that I can understand what they are saying. I loved staring out the window and looking at how beautiful this country is....this city. How beautiful life here is, is [View Full Entry]

So Thanksgiving was the first day I have ever felt truely homesick while being here. Although I am HOME when I am here....I really missed my family & friends from the states so much! Looking at everyones away messages on AIM was making me jealous...Thanksgiving weekend is always soooo much fun at home...going out to the bars and seeing everyone! I worked for 5 hours on Thanksgiving, had a ham and turkey sandwich, then went into town. I went to the train station with Dan and we got out tickets to MARSEILLE...the south baby!! Cannot wait, we are going the 12th-14th [View Full Entry]

1 month in France! Europe » France » Pays-de-la-Loire » Angers
About one month into being in France! I love my life here. It’s hard to describe to people who haven’t lived abroad, and especially to people who have never even been abroad. The way my friends and I describe it is as “constant stimulation.” There are NEVER moments where we are not completely overwhelmed and continuously learning new things around us. Even just walking down the road there are new smells, sights, and a beautiful language that I must constantly be aware of and focus on in order to understand. It hurts the brain after a while, all that concentration. Even [View Full Entry]

Went for a nice run today around my area, did some class preparation and had my one class I have on Tuesdays from 3pm to 4pm. Went to Carrefour and did some food and wine shopping. Then headed into town and made delicious Pad Thai with Maury and Lydia at Lydia’s foyer. Then we went out for a drink at Bar du Centre…our new favorite place because the stellas are only 2 euro (always!) and the cafes are only 1.30euro! Then I met up with Lesline at the 400 Coups and saw the movie “L’echange”…it’s an American film with Angelina Jolie, [View Full Entry]

I am not good at keeping up with this thing. Which is horrible , because the more funny and amazing experiences happen every day! I really need to keep up with this! We had some ham and butter baguettes this morning then took the bus to my apartment to cut my hair! She did a fabulous job! And saved me a lot of money, since haircuts are so expensive. We hung out for a while, then headed into Centre Ville to take the our French class we take every Wednesday from 17h30 until 19h30. It’s a FREE class, and it’s going [View Full Entry]

Went to the Cointreau factory today with Ita, Lydia, Maury, Dan, Lee, Annie, Vanessa, and Hannah! I had been wanting to go back to it since we have been here so I finally just booked a reservation and told everyone that we were going! It was a great success! The tour is really detailed and the factory is nice and smells like orange everywhere! The best part was at the end when we got to do the tastings. Its in a nice modern room and we tried the shot warm, cold, and with lime. I preferred it with ice and lime. [View Full Entry]

My sister’s birthday! She is 20 today…WHOA. So old. I had two classes today. I LOVE my 1030 class, there is only 5 of them and we get to talk so much! I am really going to get to know them and they all get so many more chances to talk. We did a “Becoming American” exercise where I asked them to imagine being an American. Their answers are so funny…they choose such typical American names, say they will eat at McDonalds, and of courses they are all rich and live in Los Angeles or New York! My afternoon class was [View Full Entry]
