Gelato, Cafés, Alpine Meseum Directors...and Everything Else in Between

Well the first week of class went very well!! My professor is awesome and my class is freaking hilarious. We have three new students in our class: Christian from Norway, Chris (a girl) from Australia and another guy from Canada (I cant remember his name...).


We do alot of group projects in class and she always wants us to be with someone of a different nationality. there is a guy named Firat, who is about 40 and he just LOVES to be my partner when we have a project. It cracks me up everytime.


We took the Téléphrique up to the Bastille today and looked out over the city. We then went to the Alpine museum up there...the guy let us in for free...didnt charge us for the headsets...then asked us to go partying with him in the city tonight. We declined. It pays off to be cute american girls in another country.


Then we just walked around the city for a little while and burned quite a few thousand calories and got some gelato from a cute little café (which I got two chocolat au pain for the price of one yesterday...).


I just love it here. Its amazing.


I live on the side of a mountain and I have a room to myself with a big window and a door to the backyard. The sun rises around 615 and wakes me up every morning. I dont need to start getting ready until about 645. So I just get to lie in bed and stare out my window and look at the mountains every morning....not a bad way to start the day.


This place is so beautiful and it is such a beautiful country. Everyone is so nice and nothing like what you would expect from the French.


I love sitting in the outside cafés in the city with people and just talking. Its the best and I cant wait to get back and share all of the stories I already have but dont have enough time to type out.


I love you all!!
