Sometimes, I think I can be an overachiever. I'm realizing that I can't do everything, though I want to. I applied to be a peer mentor to a foreign student when I get back to school. First thought: maybe this will redeem my experience here in France. Don't get me wrong, France is amazing and beautiful. But by no means has it "done right" by me. I don't love this place, but I've gotten used to a way of life here. I will miss getting around by tram. Taking little trips with just a backpack on my shoulders. To say I'll never come back to Grenoble is scary. I mean, it's Grenoble. It's my post. It's where my clothes are. More importantly, when my clothes are all packed up and in the states, it's where I learned to be more independent. I actually walked to school without getting lost. I've become not completely incompetent with directions. I've dealed with this stupid strike. The snowy mountains and Toussaint. Oh Grenoble, how you frustrate me. You can't travel like this back home.

Second thought: this could look good on a resume.

I definitely have to drop science or math in order to survive this quarter (winter 08)
