Putting off college was good

I have 18 hours of classes a week, which is VERY light in terms of actual class-room time, and the homework/studying isn’t too bad.

Unfortunately for me, I’m around a lot of Americans, Brits and Swedes, so we obviously speak in English most of the time … and I have a few mexican friends with whom I speak Spanish. I do of course speak outside the classroom with french people but it would definitely better if speaking English and Spanish wasn’t an option.

I’m having a great time … the foyer (boarding house) I’m living in is fantastic, the city (Angers) is cute and post-card like and an hour and a half from Paris on the train.

I do not smoke or do drugs and the most I drink is one beer. I haven’t encountered any pressure to get into these things … as for ‘jaded on the American way of life’ … no. Just no.
