Meanwhile, in umm.. France.. again..

Hello once again. I suppose it's time for an update. What's been going on the past two months? Well, for Christmas and New Year's, I came home to Louisville for what was probably the best three weeks of my 2011. It felt so good to see my family and friends again.

Meanwhile, in Montpellier (and Marseille too)...

Hello again everyone! Sorry for the looong hiatus. I really have no excuse. I’ve just been so busy and my mind has been a million places; unfortunately blogging somehow got left out of my to-do list. So, to make it up to you, I’m about to recap my past month and a half in Montpellier. Phew... here goes…

Meanwhile, in Paris...

Hello again to all my friends and family back at home! I've finally arrived in Montpellier. After multiple trips to IKEA, stacks and stacks of paperwork, and a little house cleaning, I'm happy to say I'm settled in. Sorry for posting this so late; I've already been here for a couple a weeks. It's just that I've been so busy up until recently. This post is massive, since I've been working on it on and off without ever finishing it. So, anyway, I'm gonna go back in time a little bit and talk about Paris.

After arriving late the night of the 31st, I was travel-worn and exhausted, so I slept away my first day in Paris. Lucile - a friend of mine who I met during my stay in France last year - was amazing enough to let me stay in her apartment that she lives in during the school semester.

Since it was still technically summer break, I was completely alone in her 2-bedroom Parisian mansion. Luckily, Anne - another friend from last summer - hung out with me and showed me around the city for the weekend. She normally lives in Montpellier, but she's currently doing an internship where she works and lives in Paris. (pics after the jump)

Meanwhile, in England...


I would like to preface this blog by saying that I am writing it as much for my own benefit as I am for anyone else who might be interested. It's not because of any narcissistic belief that everyone at home will be smashing the refresh button in anticipation of my next entry. I understand that Eurotrip diary blogs are plentiful and sometimes dull, and this one may be no different. I still have to keep it family-friendly. However, I’ll do my best to be as candid and honest as possible. Also: click to enlarge the photos. (much more after the jump)
