Classes Have Begun

Wellll... now starts the REAL reason why I am here... class! Thus far, I have only attended one class! After two failed attempts at my first day of class... I FINALLY went on Thursday morning! My first failed attempt was on Tuesday... I woke up verrry early to catch a bus to the University (about a 30 minute bus ride).  I went to my first scheduled class, Calculus II, and found that the Professor did not speak English well enough for me to feel confident that I would pass the class!  I ended up walking out about 30 minutes into it, to change my schedule!  The schedule changed forced me to not have ANY classes on Tuesday, so I went back to the apartment and went onto the beach!  Wednesday I woke up feeling AWFULLY ill... I won't go into details, but my abs got a real good workout! I was scheduled to start class at 4, so a friend and I walked to the bus and got on... I was doubled over in pain, and trying not to throw up on everyone the whole bus ride... finally getting off at the University where I could barely move! I ended up passing out briefly before friends took me to a bench to lay down, and gave me coke! A classmate told my professor the deal of me being sick, so I was excused from my class to go home... which is exactly what I did! Waking up Thursday morning for class, I felt SOOO much better! I went to my first class, Elementary French, and I realllly like it already! The professor is hard, but it is very fun to learn French!  After my one and only class, I am done for the weekend! I went to the beach once again, so I am getting quite tan! So far, France has been spectacular! I have met some truly amazing people and am having the time of my life!!!

I miss all my loved ones back home, but we will meet again soon!!!

Love to everyone!
