So, I’ve been in the US for three weeks now. And I am already ready to go back to France. That’s probably not surprising for anyone.
I have had a rough time adjusting to speaking mostly English every day, but at the same time, I don’t have to speak English all day every day because of where I’m working. I’d had my heart set on working in a French Immersion preschool up at the University of Utah, but I was not able to work there because I’m still in school, so I hope I’ll be able to go and volunteer when I want.
But anyways, I have good news.
The good news is that I am working in a French immersion school. I am an aide and I get to speak French every single day because I work with French people. It is ridiculously fabulous. I am working on making friends with the French aide, who is my age. Since the French aren’t friends right away, I’m still 100% in the process of making friends with him. I think we’ll be friends. We went to the RSL game last Saturday and he brought another French buddy of his, who has been here for two weeks. So, we hung out on Saturday night and I hope that we’ll get to hang out more often because I had a lot of fun and they are great guys. It also would probably help me get out of the house more because I am very much a homebody even though I want to change that.
I got a really cute email postcard from my host family in Vichy. They sent me photos of their trip in Greece and it made me happy to see that they were happy on vacation. I miss them tons already and I haven’t really been able to talk to them lately, so hopefully soon, I’ll get to Skype with them, which would make me super happy since they are seriously some of my favorite people on this planet.
Um, but that’s what’s happening right now in my life. Just working at a job I adore and working for my family business, which I also adore.
Gros Bisous!
