I know i haven't kept in touch very well with everyone, so i thought i would just write an email to all of you to let you guys know what's going on in my life.

Well, we're friday night, and I got back from Lyon this evening. As I study in college now, I have my own place in lyon, which is like an hour away from my parents's house. so i now spend most of my time there, and i am adjusting to it very well. It feels good to meet lots of new people. I don't think I could have got back in my little, old life very easily, so i am very happy that i had to leave my house again to study. I have a small apartment in a students residence, and several people that i know live near my place, so i don't feel lost or anything. I study history and law in college and i find it really interesting. I am not very sure about what i wanna do later, but i am working on that point. I don't think I'll ever become a lawyer....I wouldn't want to be like Bob you know!! just kidding!

Getting back to France after the wonderful year we had wasn't very easy, but since i had to study right away for exams, i kept myself busy all the time which was good. and now that school has started, I really am busy all the time. but i still wish i were an exchange student and can't help thinking about last year....but i guess it is the same for everyone else.  what else to say...? I am getting along pretty well with my old friends, or at least most of them. But i get along even better with new people, or people i wasn't really friends with before. My english has certainly gotten very
bad, but i try to speak English as often as possible. the other day i went to a France-USA meeting to meet all of the american exchange students in Lyon, it was kind of cool.

I am trying to get my driver license, but since i am in lyon all the time, it is not that easy. I am also thinking about getting a part time job to make some money. I so want to travel again and to visit everyone of you guys as soon as possible...but i am also very lazy and i have much to do in college, so I don't know yet....I want to study in a foreign country again whenever i get a chance. i don't know where i'll be sent, but it will never be the same as FL....

I hope everyone is doing okay in their own country. For the ones i haven't kept in touch with, please write me so that i know how you're all doing.  Well, i guess that's all for now. It is kind of late here and i need to get some sleep.

I love you guys and miss you like crazy.
Yours for ever
Cécile
