Today we all got to meet our host families, it was really fun. We set up some games for the kids to play including an obstacle course. Jason and Jamie dressed up as a dwarf (where Jamie had to be Jason's hands). It was hilarious to watch them, I seriously couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard. I'm not a fan of children, but nonetheless it was fun to watch them and hear their little French voices. My host family is actually just one woman, because I requested someone with no children. She doesn't speak much English, which I also requested (I like making things difficult for myself, see being vegan for proof). She is going to Paris for the next twoo weeks, so I won't get to spend time with her till she gets back, but that gives me time to work on my French.
After the host family welcome party, we had our last day of orientation, finally... Several of us went over to Le Commerce after orientation for coffee and hot chocolate because of how cold the chapel was...
Today was the second day of classes, and I am so stoked about this semester (really, just being in France is enough). The professors are all so passionate about what they teach, it makes it really easy to get excited about the classes. I know this is already the most amazing expierence of my life, but having such wonderful professors makes it all the better (hopefully, I'll still be singing their praises after the first tests).
This little town is so full of charm and character it has been really easy to adjust to life here. I already feel at home, can't wait to see what each new day brings. Of course each day has brought different weather, its been cold a drizzly, warm and sunny, overcast and windy, and today was stormy on and off. It's kind of like the saying about Texas "If you don't like the weather just wait 5 minutes"...
