I should be working

I have a research paper to pick a topic for, but I'm not really sure where to start. I have a few ideas, but I'm not sure that any one of them would work. So, I figured it was a good time to blog.

I am actually going to have to work in my classes. It like I was trying to get a Master's degree or something. Good grief. I'm sure I'll make it through it, though.

I wasn't feeling so great the last couple days, but I'm feeling better today. I think I'm still in the process of adjusting to my new life. Everything has gone so well so far that I forgot for a moment that there would be the occasional tough spot as well. Those times pass, however, and everyday is a new opportunity.

I spent the weekend with my friend Sophie, who lives just outside of Brest. It was nice to get to see her and her 10-month old daughter, who is adorable. The weather has even been reasonably nice here, though it's more like winter in Texas.

I was supposed to volunteer tonight, but it got cancelled. So, instead, I'm going to an event put on by the international student association of the university. Then I'll go home, do some reading, maybe do some laundry, work on some more ideas for research projects, and go to bed.

The excitement of a new place has died down a little, and now it's just the excitement of daily life. I still look around on a pretty regular basis, and think to myself, "Wow, I'm in France. Awesome!"
