Bonjour

I just wanted to write to give a little update since I didn't write much the other night. We had french pizza last night and it was umm interesting to say the least. The dough was REALLY floury and the sauce tasted a little suspect, and well things like tuna on my pizza kinda scares me in this "I wish I had a Papa Johns" kind of way. I really like the bread and the Swiss cheese is wonderful, plus there's this really good fruit juice that I have discovered.  And, pasta-- pasta is always a safe choice.  
 
I have class EVERY day at 8am (Mon-Thurs) and as you  know I don't do 8am classes. I've had two in the past, each only 2 days a week, and I probably showed up for half of them. Here, if you miss one day, you're in BIG trouble. And, they made the point of saying that not hearing your alarm is in no way an excuse. Uhh, yea I kinda think I'm doomed! 
 
The plus side of being up at that ungodly hour (if there is even such thing as a plus side to hell) is that I get to watch the sunrise from the classroom. Just saying that though reminds me that I have to wake up BEFORE THE SUN RISES! 
 
So, things so far are good, just trying to get adjusted to early mornings and odd food. I'm looking forward to my bags being here, orientation being over, and going to a chateau on Thursday night. 
 
Feel free to message me back, these first few days there's not much going on in the way of homework and trips, so I have a few minutes to drop by the computer lab. Soon, though, I probably won't be able to email as often.
 
Wish you were all here!
 
--- that just reminded me that they play American music everywhere here, turns out the French mainly listen to American stuff... so much so that there was a law passed recently by the French government saying that all radio stations had to play 40% French music... anyways Pink Floyds "Wish You Were Here" was on in the bar the other night, so I at least have something that reminds me off home---
