Shouldn't I do something other than update my blog?
Hi all!
Nice to get all your comments. I'm supposing that the people who post comments are the ones that 'really' love me. ;) On that note, is there anyone that wants me to send them a post card? I only remembered to get a few addresses before I left. If you would like one, send your home address to my utoronto email account and I'll do my best. Also list if you'd prefer a post card from Tours/the area around Tours or from Paris. I'll do my best to accomodate requests. Hopefully I'll send a few off before I get back to T.O. ;)
Daily life is going well here. I really like both my house mates. There's a girl from Michigan and a guy from Alabama. They're both really nice. We usually go out after dinner. Sometimes I meet up with other U of T students and we'll hang out in the village square or wander around town.
School is going surprisingly well. I apparently don't suck at French as badly as I thought. It seems that I suck at it an appropriate amount for my level. It kind of feels like I'm back in grade school because I always see the same people and there's a big group of people that I'm familiar with. Also we basically have 10 minute recess every hour. I love the system here. I guess that's the perk of being in a country where everyone smokes, even the teachers don't want to go for too long without a coffee or a cigarette. It actually isn't too smokey/bad here. I guess it's better to be here in the summer so that you're not trapped indoors with the smokers.
I really enjoy my walk to school in the morning. It's very scenic. Lots of old buildings, fountains, and trees. Of course I've already taken pictures to show everyone when I get back.
Well, today I just wanted to give a little depiction of life here. I'm off for now.
Later!

Cool. A bit of daily life.
So, who are "the girls" you went to Paris with? Where are they from? How long did it take to get there and how did you get there?
Did you make friends with the Japanese woman you mentioned on the phone?
Are you finding that French food is 1000x better than Canadian food?
Are there any other weird quirks about life there (like not having air conditioning in most establishments)?
So curious.

Hi Caty. Great to hear your news. Do hope you only parlez en Francais for the month. Enjoy every minute. Love aunt Rita

Hello again, dear Caty..
I do so look forward to your postings. I lose no time in going into my computer and log on as soon as I come home - I feel like I am seeing what you are seeing in France. Why, of course I'd very much like to get a postcard from you from Paris. I'll give you my address in your U-of-T domain. Anyway, read your big sister's comments and queries and likewise, I am absolutely so curious to know about these things. Until next time then and keep on taking in everything about France. We have much to ask you when you come home....Ciao, Caty...bon jour!!!!
