Well okay, just a little one before the class comes into this room and takes away my computer. So yeah, France. It's pretty great in most senses of the word and the idea that I can travel to many places so easily is fabulous and the girls I'm here with are fabulous. A French girl even came up to Vanessa and I and I went to her apt and watched Sex and the City in French and spoke French on Friday night, that was a big step for me. I just have realized how important our personal outlook on a situation is. It can be the difference between a good time and great time and even an okay time and great time. It's also really important for me to learn to listen to myself more and do what is best for me, I know that sounds selfish, but I've realized I have more control over what I do/ what I get out of situations than I thought.
On this note, I've started to really committ to meeting people outside the Oxy group, even though I really do love those girls are have gotten quite attached. I'm also resolving to try and be one of those really together people...haha right? I know I'm not super all over the place but I just hate leaving somewhere and knowing I'm always the one who forgets something, or having to borrow every other thing from people, or not having done my work on time. It's easier to do here because I'm not as busy as usual and well...that just doesn't leave as much time to be disorganized, or at least as many excuses.
Okay enough, I don't really like reading these long semi-thoughtful posts so I'll try and end it here with a little note saying helllllo to OXY-missing it a tiny these days.
