Studying Abroad with EAP

So I've never been one to keep a blog or anything of the sort... but I figured this would probably be as good a reason as any to start.
I have wanted to study abroad for as long as I can remember, so here is where you will get to read about my adventures as I take the leap and study abroad in Lyon, France!
Wish me luck and be sure to keep in touch :) and maybe even leave a comment now and then so I can see who's actually reading this!

kids for a day

when the sun comes out, my friends and i get all excited.
today i started the day by going to my psych class. and was particularly happy when i learned we dont have class next week. sweet! (i feel like i shouldn't be this excited about not having the one class i could even potentially get credit for, but thats how the cookie crumbles).
then i met up with patrick to have our now weekly lunch of bread and cheese while sitting on the quai by the rhone. it has become quite a lovely tradition the last couple weeks. when we finished eating, we walked up the quai in order to find some grass to sit on/lie down on. oh how i love the sun. and lyon. and the rhone. and yea. you get the picture. anyways. at one point i happened to look up and saw christine, our director, walking by. so i called her name and she came over and sat down and chatted with us for awhile!
soon chloe came and joined us because the three of us would be going to play lazer tag. yes, you read that right, lazer tag. because we are just that cool. and had an invitation from our french friend. zoe met up with us there as well, and we were prepared for an exciting game. i was surprised none of my friends had played before!
upon arriving, we quickly realized we were the oldest people there (and not entirely surprised by this fact). seeing as our french friend is in high school and so are all his friends. and everybody else that was playing probably hadn't even reached their teens yet.
but it was a lot of fun. i was terrible though. and we were all surprised by how gross and sweaty we felt afterward.
to continue our fun filled afternoon, we decided to get ice cream. which will probably happen fairly frequently as long as it continues to be as hot as today. i got white chocolate and chocolate and discovered that white chocolate gets slightly overpowered by chocolate. good to know for next time. but it was super good :)
i also realized today that i need to invest in some sunscreen. because in the short hour or two that i was relaxing outside, my left arm managed to get burnt. im really hoping it doesnt keep the ugly farmer's tan that might appear. but i am just so happy the sun is shining, its warm out, and tshirts can come out from hiding, that i dont mind a little burn!
