New home, v. 3.0
Wait, is this France? Everyone is speaking French, but it feels like I fell into California, complete with warm weather, palm trees, and surfing. It's exactly like my half-brother's home in the suburbs of San Diago, only with less sand.
I'm in a small town by Rochefort, which is about four miles from the Atlantic Ocean. My family consists of a mother, father, two daughters (ages 12 and 16), and a son (20 years old). Everyone seems to be quite nice, even if I've become something of a weird celebrity among the girls' friends (who I've never even met). The father is a sculpter, the mother is his secretary, and the son is the guy who really should be from California. Lizbeth, you would want to be here right about now.
Haha, somehow everyone is under the impression that I'm a huge fan of Johnny Depp and Harry Potter. As a result I have posters all over my wall of said subjects. It's kind of funny in a very sad way.
I get to take German and Russian in school! Yeah, I have no prior experience or credentials, and it's a very difficult language, but hey! Russian!
The library here is even smaller than the one in Argenton-Château, and that's saying something. It's a small room with one big shelf. There are no CDs, DVDs, or anything of the sort; everything is made of paper, and half of the books are borrowed from the library in Rochefort. At least they have better taste. I checked out Le Parfum by Patrick Süskind, and fourteen pages in I'm already intrigued. Way to go small towns!
And there is a fencing club nearby! Maybe I'll be able to get some practice in after all.
