Moved into the Homestay!

Okay so I have finally moved into the house where I will be living for the next 4 months and it is wonderful. The family is really sweet and helpful. There are three kids, but I have only met one so far and will meet the others on the weekend. I have dinner 4 nights a week with the family and they speak to me in French which is going to help a lot. When I get really stuck they give me a little something in English to help me out. It definitely feels strange living in someone else's house that you don't really know. I feel like I hang out in my room a lot because I don't want to be invading their space at all. I'm sure things will get better with time.

This is where I live!

I think the best part about Paris so far is getting to meet so many interesting and fun people. All of the people in my program are funny and nice. I love the idea that I will be leaving here not only with memories, but with new friends.

The worst part about Paris so far is that everything is so expensive! There is nothing here that is actually cheap, just things that seem cheap. I've started keeping track of my spending so that I don't come home completely broke. Here's hoping!
