9.4.2011

The first few days with my host family has been really excellent, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. They cook delicious meals, help me with my French, and they only have one rule: to be home for dinner. Classes are okay, I have a paper due on Tuesday and a test and oral exam on Wednesday, and then on Thursday real classes start. It's a little overwhelming, but manageable. On Friday I got to see a couple apartments of some friends, and they were pretty nice but I am definitely happy I chose to live with a host family. On Saturday, the group took an excursion to Carcassonne, a medieval city about 2 hours from Montpellier.

 Now I'm getting into a routine which is nice, so I've basically been hanging out at my host family's house or my friends' apartments. I can walk everywhere, and will only have to ride the tram to the University, so that's really nice. The German exchange student, Jerome, moved in today and will be here for three months. So far, he seems very friendly.
