My first weekend at JEM St. Paul was rather low-key. Students were arriving throughout the day Saturday and we all took time to recover from our jet lag on Sunday. This year there are 5 girl students and 3 boy students. Two of the girls are from France, one of the girls is from England, and the rest of us are from Amurica, yes, you read that correctly, Amurica. Most of the students are fresh out of high school with the exception of one of the French girls and me. I respect these new graduates so much for coming here all by themselves at the age of 18. I'm 27, and I was fearful about doing this, so I can't imagine how afraid some of them must have been. One of the other students had never been on a plane before this trip! Anyway, we're having fun getting to know each other and I think we're going to make a good team.
Well that's all I have time for; I should be sleeping already!
Hi Lena,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see that you have made it safely to France!! What have you been doing since you've been there and what's the time difference between here and there?? The picture is gorgeous, looks awesome!! Good hills sounds like you can get in good running and good exercise!! LOL!! Miss you girl..Glad to see that you are doing well though!! :-)
Michelle! Thanks for saying hello. :) We are going to be wrapping up our first full week of school tomorrow. We have lecture sessions in the mornings, afternoons, and some evenings. We also share household responsibilities such as cleaning and cooking. Our days are full, but we get some pretty decent chunks of free time as well. We are 6 hours ahead of you Maryland folk. :) I plan to create a more detailed post regarding what daily life is like here over the weekend!
