I just want you all to know that I miss the United States. Like alot. I don't fit in here at all. No one decided to tell me before I came over here that NO ONE wears normal winter coats. EVERYONE, even all the boys, where pea-coats. Not colored ones either....ONLY black. Everybody looks exactly the same. And everyone wears scarves too...all the time. Then there's me walking around this place with a bright red Columbia ski jacket. It's not hard to figure out that I'm American. Then on top of that everyone dresses up all the time. WHAT?! If you know me, you know that jeans is the most dressed up I'll get for class. I walk into class in my red ski jacket, my bookbag (which everyone carries purses), my Pumas, and a hoodie. It's not hard to figure out that I'm not a Frenchy. Haha. Sweatpants are totally like not even an option - which makes me very sad. I'm sure I'll break down at some point and wear them but who cares?! Everyone already knows I'm not a Frenchy so whatev! Also, alot of the Frenchies are greasy. I really think it's true that they don't shower as often as we do. I mean, they don't stink or anything...but some of the girls in my classes could wash their hair a little more often. Oh yeah! And everyone has these little pen/pencil holders that they set out in front of them in class...and they all use like 3 different color pens in their notes. They are always clicking caps on and off and changing colors and all that junk. Just pick one and stick with it!!

And one more thing...all the notebook paper here is a grid. I hate it. I just want horizontal lines and that's it. I couldn't find a single notebook that wasn't a grid. GRRR.
