I know. I've been neglectful. But I'm here!

Hey everyone. I am sitting in a lovely cyber cafe roasting because it has been close to 30 degrees everyday since I've been here and so humid. One reason I have not updated yet is because I won't have internet of my own until next week (which means I have been getting used to typing on this crazy French keyboard). I got in safely to Rennes after 4 quick flights, no lost luggage, and one TGV ride through the countryside. Gildas, the coordinator for my exchange program, fetched me and took me to my home for the next 8 months. It is not what I expected but I will make due. Very soon I will post pictures of how high quality my residence building is...

Anyways, we have been doing so much over these past few days. I have made some friends from the states (everyone thinks I'm American), the Netherlands and Belgium. When we all hang out we speak French too which is super amazing. I can't believe how fast it is coming back to me. My accent if obviously not great but more and more people here will speak French back to me. Last night we went to le Rue St. Michel (appropriately nicknamed le rue de soif) and enjoyed the last few hours of the warm weather and a few glasses of cheap and delicious wine. Except here people don't even start partying until 11ish and go until 5 or 6 in the morning! All the discothèques don't even open until midnight. We will see if I can adjust to European hours.

I miss you all and if you want to send me mail or get mail just fire me a message or email and we can exchange snail mail addresses!

A bientôt,

Skye
