Well I am now home after a whirlwind 4 months of French, food, and fun. It was a semester that I will never forget and that continues to shape my future.
Over the next couple weeks, I will try to catch up with my blogs of what happened in the past few weeks... It was go hard, and then go home.
Needless to say, I arrived home pretty tired after a long 17 hours of traveling. My mom mentioned that I was speaking a little gibberish... but I guess that's what no sleep and a head full of French do to someone when they suddenly switch to English.
I can tell that my French has definitely improved over the last four months... why else would I switch 3 of my 4 airplane movies over the French and read my French newspaper Le Monde during the flight? I'm now still trying to figure out how to keep up my language. Colorado doesn't provide as many opportunities for French speakers. On that note, it is also strange to hear English everywhere. On my way home, I had countless doubletakes when I heard English- speakers because I was looking if they were students in my school in Aix. And nope, they weren't.
Well as the adjustment continues, I will continue my blogs...
I don't yet know what my next great adventure will be, but I know there will be one. There is always more to come!
