Everything is going smoothly here in St. Médard en Jalles. I've been going to school for about 2 weeks now and my teachers are supportive, the kids are friendly, and the food is great. I will try to find some peanut butter soon, though. My classes are very interesting. I feel like I'm in college because they are so specialized. Gestion is my hardest class. It revolves around the management and technicalities of organizations and enterprises. It sounds simple, but it is actually very complicated.
I got in touch with Drew, one of the other exchange students in France, Aimes, yesterday. He is faring well. Next Wednesday, I am going to some swim try outs because I hope to meet some kids who like sports/swimming like me. I am sooo excited to get in the water again. My history teacher is really cool and funny, like my old APUSH teacher, Mr. Lewis at PHS. I've made a few friends at school and one girl, Marie, is very patient with me haha.
I got a letter from my family today and it is really nice. I have 4 letters to send, but I need to get some stamps! I also need to take more pictures (need some batteries), especially for Saturday, when Olivier and I go to all the free museums. This one weekend is when all the monuments/museums in Bordeaux are free. He doesn't really want to go, and I said I didn't mind going alone, but he said he needed/should come. We're also going to make cookies, which will be really good, cause I haven't had those for a while.
It's nice to be in a general routine now. I come home around 1:00 or 4:30, repose for a little, do homework, compare with Olivier, watch TV/read, and finally have dinner around 8:00. I am getting used to eating late, and now I enjoy it. At first I would become extremely tired the later I waited to eat, but now, it's normal. I wore my new boots today; they were cute.
The weather is becoming beautiful here; Monsieur Audibert said this is their best month because there is a little bit of everything, but mostly it is pleasant and sunny with some wind.
I miss Nick a lot; he and his friend Derek have big hearts.

Vievey! I miss you so much! I'm so glad that school is going well though. That's really cool that you're taking a business class, it sounds interesting! We need to talk soon--I want to hear about all your friends and swim and your family some more! I was thinking today that 5 months won't be too long until you're back.. except that it hasn't even been a month yet..haha, but that's good for you!! :) Well I hope you are having an amazing time, and we'll skype or something soon!!
