The first day

My first day has been awesome, stressful, and magical all in one! I slept all the way through the night because I was exhausted. Solène's mom woke me up speaking French and I was so confused for a second. I woke up and was like what where am I? We had croissants for breakfast and then we went to the farmers market!  It was so cool, just like the United States. We bought bread, cheese, and spinach! There were some historic churches and buildings and that's what's in the pictures below!  We went home and we had lunch,  which consisted of meat and spinach!  It was really good!  For the rest of the day we've just been relaxing while I try to translate the television shows haha.

I'm doing my best to speak in French but it's difficult! I hope I don't annoy or offend anyone, but languages are different! However, this place is so beautiful, and I'm so grateful that I can come here and learn.

Tomorrow is my first day of school and I'm terrified to put it plainly. There's going to be lots of people asking me questions and talking to me, but I think I can handle it haha. It's going to be completely different and new. We're also going to the movies after school.....In Italian haha!

Solène's second cousin, an English teacher, came by today, and she was nice, too! Lots of nice people here willing to help me.

I hope all is well in the States. I'll write tomorrow!

À bientôt,
Alexandra
