Whirlwind!

Time is moving so quickly! It is incredible here! It has been in the 90s the past two days, which is a little hot for me but I have not seen a single cloud. It's like magic! Everything is seriously gorgeous! So I will run through the past two days with you all, we have been so busy! Yesterday morning started a litte rough because I had the time zone wrong on my phone and I woke up and hour late and had only 5 minutes to get ready!! My host mom had set out some of a baguette for me though so I was able to eat on our way to school. We are only a 5-10 minute walk away! So that is fantastic!

      Once there, the administrators of our program welcomed us and we had our placement test! It was pretty difficult, however I did pretty well and placed into the 5th of 7 levels! So that was exciting! Next we had lunch in the staff cafeteria and it was incredible! Four courses, just for lunch! We had fruits and veggies for an appetizer, then some cut up pork in a yummy sauce on some grains, followed by cheese and baguette, then apricot tartes! I was glad they gave us so much food though because next they took us on a tour of the town to show us all the practical stuff like the post office, banks, where to get school supplies and food close to the school and where all the best shopping is (CANNOT WAIT!) After that we hung out at school for a while then I went with some girls to go get a phone and browse some shops! So that was fun and we made it home just in time for dinner (delicious, of course) and I fell asleep soon after!

     Today we started classes! At first I wasn't sure where to go, so me and another kid in my class (from Germany!) searched around until we had to ask a librarian for help! But we found it alright after that and classes were great! So far I just have Langue, laboratoire, civilisation, and oral expression. Once the regular semester starts in October I will get more selection. My classes are at different times and in different orders every day so that will be cool to switch things up, however they are mostly in the same few rooms in the main building on campus. (Le Palais - can you believe they have a building called the Palace?!) So now that I am sure you are dying to see some photos here you go:
