It was quite an experience.
Madame Secher is one of the host mothers and is quite a character. She is very charismatic and all over the place, but genuinely wants everyone to have a good time and feel welcome in her home.
The food was amazing and there was ALOT of it. We all had to pace ourselves as best we could in order to finish everything on our plates. It was all a mind game in and of itself. I swear my stomach has been forced to grow over the past two weeks. But everything has been delicious, so I am not complaining.
Right now, my host mother and brother are out of town and my host father is fixing lunch for us. I am not all that sure if I will be able to consume anymore food after last night.
The stories and analysis that come from last night cannot really be expressed in writing as well as in person...in other words, this post would take a really long time for me to write. Time that I don't have haha.
Today is Bastille Day (the French Independence Day), so we don't have any school. And the final Harry Potter movie came out yesterday...therefore, all five of us are spending our afternoon in the city and seeing it!!
Then tonight I am spending the night at Kathleen's host family's home, Madame Sonnet. Which it will be interesting to see how another French family operates.
And then tomorrow after class, we are taking a weekend trip with the university to the French Riviera...I cannot even put into words how EXCITED I AM!!! It is going to be amazing!!!
Therefore, I will let you know how everything is going afterward!!
Emma! It is just too much fun to read your stories! I am so glad you are having a good time. Thanks for taking the time to write them! I can't wait to join you there! 12 days and counting! Love, Mom
