Valentines Day in Dijon

So classes have started. I have an oral class, grammer/vocab, grammer/verbs, geography and a "civilization"/culture class. It just very different trying to understand what the teachers say sometime and I've gotten very frustrated lately. But it has finally stopped raining after about 3 days of rain with no sun, the sun came out today!!

I am getting over being sick, which is really hard b/c I didn't have any meds on me and its hard to get medicine here. I did get something that helped my sore throat alot.

So the Residence is a very interesting place. I have met tons of people from all over the world, and its great b/c most speak English. We have all hung out in the dorms and have gone out once and a while. The meals are ok, I have missed breakfast a couple of times, and dinner we never know what to expect. We did find a great burger place on campus that is very cheap and gives lots of food.

So for Valentines Day, after a long day of class and walking everywhere in the rain, we all got dressed up and went to this salsa bar/club. It was alot of fun, and when there is 15-20 students there its fun b/c you can dance with everyone. Speaking of dancing, the French aren't the greatest dancers so its fun for us b/c we don't look that stupid.

I have been trying to check my email daily, since now getting to campus is easier and I'm here 5 days a week, and the computer labs are free. I'm working on getting my pictures up, it may take awhile, but I am taking lots of them.

Even though I do not like it here sometimes, as those who I have talked to, this place will make me a better person. I know I have to stay here, and yes it may be difficult sometimes, but at least I know that I'm not the only one in the same boat, and I have lots of people who want me here.

I miss everyone so much! As I looked up, as of today I only have 77 more days here, which I know will start to go by faster. We have 2 excursions coming up, one is a one day and the other is a weekend trip. My French is starting to get a little better, its just hard to talk to anyone when you dont have much of a voice and you sound like a man!

Love y'all!! I miss everyone back in Murray too!!

P.S. Being as sick as I have been and just walking out in the cold, I really should take stock in Kleenex!!
