So it's been a while since I've posted!
Well today I went to Annecy with some of my friends to do some shopping! Thank goodness because I really need more clothes haha. (I bought a blue sweater, a pink shirt, and a rosy tank-top.) I am still in dire need of more sweaters, gloves, and closed-toe shoes.
It's kind of difficult hanging around with my friends though, because they all speak Spanish! They're all from Bolivia, Argentina, or Mexico. They all speak some English, but I think that they prefer their native language. In a way it's good, because I can learn Spanish too this year!
French is getting pretty good for me. I still can't have a really smooth conversation, but I can always understand what's going on... except in class.
School-wise, there was "la greve" last Thursday, which means that some of the teachers went on strike to change the retirement age from 63 to 67. It's a controversial topic, and I'll be having a few days off school this year because of it.
My next (and first!) school vacation is the last week of October, and my family might take me to Italy, but nothing's certain yet!
I'm having a great time, despite my homesickness, and everybody is really nice and generous!
Thanks for keeping posted! :)
