I am now into my second week of classes, and really busy. Unfortunately, like quite a few people here, I am kind of sick. I am hoping that it clears up soon because I will probably be singing a French song with a friend on Friday night for a Cabaret. Actually it is not a French song, but it is one that has been translated into many languages :) Besame Mucho - a love song - how ironic oO.
Stuff in class is beginning to get more intense, and it is hard to believe that I have a final exam next week - (I have two half courses during the 5 weeks). I have a project worth 15% of my mark for my first course due tomorrow, and still a lot of work to do - it involves giving a presentation and handing in what I said, so it requires a lot of dictionary use (thank you, Adam!). I am looking forward to having it done. Generally though, the work is not bad, because it is stuff that I really want to learn.
The people I am living with are really nice and there are two other girls living with me. We each have our own rooms, and of course I brought 1/2 a million pictures with me that are now up all over my mirror. The three of us eat in another house with 7 other students. It is a vegetarian house which I love because I don't have to ask what is in the food all the time.
There are about 250 students here and the age range is pretty broad, from 17 to 40's, but there are a lot of young'ins around (17-18). And the bell just rang...
For everyone who is in London, or have people that they love in London, you are in my thoughts. Trois-Pistoles is quite remote, and listening/watching the news in French takes a little more than the usual effort, but I am trying to find out everything I can, and news eventually trickles through. Thankfully, my family there are all okay.
Hope that everyone is well; drop me a line here or by email or snailmail and say hi :)
Love you all,
Debs
