School...

Hey guys!

So I have officially started school. The first day was so bad… it finished by me crying uncontrollably all night!!! My first class was supposed to be with a teacher who is also in charge of the international students, so I was super pumped… the only problem was that I went to the wrong class…I went to room 3.07 instead of 307. It ended up being a political science class “politique et le média.” And to make matters worse, I was LATE for the class so I got yelled at by the teacher. He was asking me why I was late and I couldn’t understand what he was saying so he kept repeating it and his voice kept getting louder until finally he sarcastically spoke really slowly as if I was mentally handicapped and then I finally understood and told him that I was an exchange student from Canada. He told me that just because there is jet lag, the class still begins at 11:15… oops. I’m really starting to panic because I don’t understand their accent. I honestly sat through the entire class without understanding one thing. That afternoon I went to my international criminal law… I made sure I was on time for that class! This teacher was a little easier to understand but I’m having such a hard time taking notes…
Missing Canada, home, friends everything like u wouldn’t believe…who wants to come visit me??? lol
Hope things are going well back in the 514. Keep me posted!

I WANNA COME VISIT!!!!!!! Oooooeeeeee!
Don't fret about the accent Ash. Seriously, when I fist got to Ireland, I had no idea what was going on either, but eventually you figure it out. Not only that, but you'l be picking up their words before you know it. You're gonna come home and you'll be more French an any of us. Just try to keep from getting their attitude... we love you the way you are!
Also, i dunno if you still have time to "test-run" classes, but maybe you can pick classes with teachers who are not jerks. That would be an idea...
Ok, one more post to read.
I love you beaucoup beaucoup beaucoup!
