Alors...

Well, I know it may be hard to believe, but Paris is still great. I went to the Eiffel Tower yesterday. And I went to the Orsay Museum and Sacré Coeur the day before. I've also been to the Louvre, taken a nighttime boat tour of Paris, and met my French host family since we last spoke. I am going to have dinner with them tonight, and I'm a little nervous because "je ne parle bien le français" (I do not speak French well). I'm sure it will be fine though; they are very nice.

I took a language placement exam today. It does not affect my grades this semester; it is just supposed to determine what level classes I can take. If it actually went anything like I'm afraid it did, I may be taking some beginner courses.

I saw a movie a few nights ago with some of the girls from my program (there are 24 people in my program and two of them, including me, are guys). The movie was a British film called Fish Tank. None of us is sure if the movie will be released in the U.S., but in case it is, we are advising everyone we know to not see it. The movie was terrible and made for one of the most awkward experiences I have ever had with two girls.

I am beginning to get used to the French keyboard, but the "w" key still gives me a lot of trouble. I am just killing time waiting to upload some of my pictures right now.

Go Rockies and I will check back in soon!
