I am studying for a year abroad in France and decided to make a blog for each semester. The challenge is to have a post about each day, hopefully I accomplish it, in order to capture every moment. Enjoy my ramblings about France for the first half of my Francophone adventure.
September 1st
Today I arrived in France. To tell the truth I was very nervous. However, I pushed through my stomach knots and made it to Le Havre with everything a-ok. I've met Camille, a tuteur at the university, her law student friend Jeremy, and Paula the other American student. We, meaning me and Paula, practiced our French with Camille and Jeremy over dinner. They decided to take use to a seafood restaurant so that we could try renowned Le Havre muscles. The muscles were delicious, especially with combined with fries, but the conch shells had too strong of a fish flavor for my tastes. Afterwords we went to a bar, though only for a brief while. There we met some Brazilian students that seemed pleasant enough. Finally, Camille drove me and Paula back home to the apartment, owned by an American woman, so that we could sleep off the jet-lag. What a busy day!

Seems I need to reprogram Mom Pants 3000. She appears to have a mind of her own and is going against her creator.
