Well, I was planning on going on some long rampant about how the culture around me is full of "tropical" vibe, but also clearly French at the same time, but I've got rock climbing class in 45 minutes, so I'll elaborate later.I just had a pineapple-and-Nutella mid-afternoon snack.
News: I'm making friends!
Finally, the ERASMUS students (Europeans) have arrived and the Americans no longer have the entire Cite Internationale (the residence hall I live in) to ourselves. So far I've encountered a few Brits, a couple Norweigans, some Germans, and one girl who just considers herself "European," because she has such a mixed background. Sweet. The last couple of days have treated me well: new friends, new classes, and Nutella. (If you haven't tried this delicious chocolate spread before, go to the grocery store and get some RIGHT now.)
No more alien attacks, as of yet. Bought a new dress, something simple and cool that I don't have to wear layers with. Ten euro. Also bought a tapestry of the Tree of Life that I've been lusting after every time the bus passes the little Indian man's storefront. Might go back for another design.
Basically, this place is incredible, and I'm loving it more every day. I still can't believe God put this in my path.
Oh yeah, and the ocean has been sporadically dumping itself onto us under the guise of "rain." I think Neptune/Poseidon is just messing with me. Bring it.
