France is not fun

So I don't have internet, yet, so I'm sitting on a street stealing wireless from someone, and I thought I'd write a little bit to the people have been asking for an update of my journey in France. I have moved into a place, I'm KIND OF settled, but things are REALLY hard here. I have no money, and they money I did bring with me I have wasted on the French socialistic system, paying fees for everything I do, and almost everyone I have talked to, no... EVERYONE i have talked to is astonished that I am in Calais, because none of them like it here, and they think it's odd that the French government placed me here. One teacher today told me "well, at least you can have a real challenge, because you've pretty much been placed in worst city in France. It's cold, there's nothing to do here, there are no stores or businesses open on the weekends or past 7.


So, I must say I'm not very happy. I'm trying my best to have a positive outlook - I mean, I always have a positive outlook, but it's hard here. It's very cold and dreary, and definitely not the France I imagined. My teacher was from the south, and the way she explained it, it seemed GREAT, but that is not the France that I had imagined. I really miss a lot of American things, food, culture, the education system. Things are just really hard here. I'll try to write more later.
