I AM STILL ALIVE, I SWEAR
Dec. 5th, 2007 02:27 pmAnd I have news!
So, Sue Ellen, my coordinator for ASSE/PIE France calls me the other day and says that she has, not one, but two families willing to take me in.
Two. As in I have a choice in the matter! How awesome is that?
The first of which is about an hour south of Autun, in a town called Vichy. If you took AP Euro, you may know what I am talking about. The family has three children of their own, one of which is still living at home while attending a university. This is a good sign, right? But the coolest thing is that they currently have an Australian exchange student with them, who is heading home after December since shes on a 6 month deal. So I get an insight on the family from within! NICE!
I talked to her and found out that she and I had met while we were bumming in Paris in August! So already we get along. She said the family is lovely, that she has has no problems at all, at home or at school (besides the hours. That got us all.) and she gave the whole place 5 stars. She did warn me that I would have to room with her for a month, but I am like, 'So?'
The second family is in a town in the Alps called Annecy. Its a large ski resort town on the edge of a mountain and a lake, with a fairly large town to match. Sounds good, too, right? But about the family, I know virtually nothing.
If I had to make a decision based soley on area, I would choose Annecy, just to have something to do. Almost everyone I have talked to about it in France has said, 'Annecy! Yeah! J'adore!' My art teacher offered to write directions to his favorite pub.
But having talked to the family in Vichy, and the fact that I would have someone to hang out with for a while in the begining kinda sold me on the little town in mid-France. So after I log off here I am going to go phone Sue Ellen about my decision. And the cool thing is that this family can take me by the end of this week! I AM GETTING OUT OF HERE!
But you wanna know whats funny in a sad way? Mme learned that the people in Vichy could take me the soonest, and has done everything but bomb Annecy to convince me that Vichy is the way to go. (Did anyone else get a vision of Dr. Strangelove?) She doesn't even try to conceal her motives! Makes me want to choose Annecy just to spite her!
Its actually kinda sad that she is that self-absorbed. No mystery where Jean gets it from.
ALRIGHT, HIT IT!
