no prob, it's better that i did BECAUSE now i have more news, or better yet, more interesting things to tell you. i went to Nice for my week vacation. (it took a lot just to get there. first i had to get permission from the rotary, then my parents had to releave them of any responsiblities, because i went by myself, and train trip was a whole other problem in itself! but all turned out well) Nice is a beautiful city located along the Mediterrean. the sand is NOT sand at all, but rocks! anyway, i got to spend the week with my best friend Steph whose studying the french like me for the year. WONDERFUL? isn't. only bad thing is that we spoke ENGLISH the WHOLE time. too bad. actually i'm understanding a lot more now. (i hate to even mention my progress for fear i might jinx myself. oh well)

what else.....? what else......? _oh yes! i'm going to be changing families this friday! when i was just getting comfortable with this one..... i really do hope i like my next family. and that's about it. all i have to say is thank you rotary, being an exchange student is the best experience you could give to anyone. thank you.

much love
