Short and sweet...

Well, since I have just finished sending off massive amounts of emails to as many people as possible, I will keep this short so as not to be redundant.

As for the whole moving thing...I have moved! I now live in the city right by the main dowtown area beside a huge cathedral. I can't wait to go and sit there when the nice weather arrives and I won't freeze my royal Canadian nanees off when sitting on the cement. So, my new host family is the same as another girl from Brock; however, because the family doesn't speak any English, we still speak French and feel that our experience will not be hindered by living together. Also, we made a pact that we would speak in French to each other and we are going to stick with it...except when either of us has to ask what an English word is in French.

School has finally started for me and ironically I am all the more pleased for it. Aimlessly roaming about for days on end gives me too much time to focus on homesickness and being in a foreign country whereas school gives an added purpose. I mean exploring the city of Perpignan is definitely interesting but when it is raining cats and dogs you can go anywhere so school is a good substitute. The profs seem nice, well the ones I have met so far during my placement test and the one I had this morning for French Press and Media was definitely awesome. Brock should definitely invest in such teachers in their department...

Last, pics will be posted just as soon as I get free internet access at school and can ditch the internet cafe and French keyboard...(A)
