Since writing I have been extremely busy meeting new people. I still don't know many French people, but all the other English speakers I have met are great. I have met people from Australia, England, and everywhere you can think of USA, even Alaska! We all go out together and have a great time. A favorite place of ours is called the Funky Munky. We were just there last night watching the Super Bowl. Of course it wasn't as great as it would have been in the US, we didn't have hotwings or pizza. The only american beer to drink was Bud, but in the spirit of all things american we choked a few down.

Right now, classes have finally started. However things get confusing because the French educational system really has no rhyme or reason. Classes are just whenever the professor decides, and whatever "schedule" you have is very easily manipulated. Also what I've learned is patience. Try dealing with the administration here. Everyone tells you something different, everything takes FOREVER, its all done by hand, no computers. And of course, you better have about a million identification photos on you at all time, because you never know when you are going to need to give 4 of them to the guy for a bus pass. Seriously. Oh and the real spelling of your name doesn't matter ask my friend Rachael, or also known as Raphael on all of her administrative documents.

How me and the ladies do dinner, some carbonara I made and a rose... yum!

But after getting used to that and realizing that there is not point being early because everything starts late, I have been having a great time. We have gone to many creperies and of course, wine is ordered at every meal. We have gone to the discos, or dance clubs, and that was an experience to say the least. Wow, French girls have no rhythm and I have never seen so much clapping in my life! haha. Us americans have already adopted French style of dress, meaning skinny jeans are great. Dresses and jeans, together? Why not! Black tights with tall boots, tres chic!

Rachael and I, just call us the queens of free drinks..
