First Few Days!

Bonjour! 


I am finally doing my first post, and I have a lot to say!


I landed in Paris last Friday and over the past few days I have been very busy, therefore very tired. In Paris I met with the AFS group and we all got to know each other pretty well. We stayed in tiny little rooms in a hostel and traveled to the center of Paris and all the famous things. My favorite was of course Le Tour Eiffel, but I also loved Champs Elysees. Sunday afternoon I got to my host families house and I already feel as if I have known them forever! I have two sisters, Ludmila and Emma, and a mom and a dad. When I got to my house they showed me my new room and I unpacked and became acquainted with everyone. I really like my new house and my family!!


I started school yesterday and it was really hard. I started out on the Math and science track, but I switched out of it because it was impossible. Now I take the French and Literature track, which thankfully I am good at. My schedule is very difficult to understand as no day is the same and I have weird hours to go to school. For example, on Monday I start school at 10:20 have two hours, skip 3 hours, then have one more and then I am done. And on Wednesday I start at 10:20 and am done by 12:15…it is pretty nice. But some days I do not end until 6:15, so it is all very different from what I am used to. 


I really miss my home but I feel as though I am already improving my French!
