Ohh shiny! A Blog!

Thank you for stumbling upon this new creation of mine. For those of you not familiar with me, some quick details and background to make this easier if you choose to read it.

My name is Alexa.
I am a 21 year old female from Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
I am studying abroad in France for the Spring 2011 semester.
I really love Harry Potter.


Ok, I think that covers everything relevant. Enjoy!

P.S. If you're wondering where the title of this blog comes from, it's from my favorite poem entitled "Aristotle" by Billy Collins. You can find it at the bottom of the page.

I still haven't eaten any French food...

Dear Reader,

I am well into my second week of school here and I have yet to eat any French food. The reason for this is because Antibes is a big vacation spot for Italians, so there is Italian food EVERYWHERE. Seriously. It's entirely pizza, pasta, and knock-off Asian. We have found many a good boulanger though, and the baguettes here are magical. Especially fresh out of the oven! So delicious. Today Marissa and I went out for Indian food though, it was great and Marissa ate even more than I did!

The only new thing to update is that I have changed my class schedule to include Photography and Italian. I had photography today and it seems like a really great class that will mean I come home with truly excellent pictures from Europe. I'm also excited for Italian, my first class is tomorrow and the only word I can say is "buongiorno" and if I'm being honest with you, reader, I just had to google how to spell it. The first two weeks are going to be really hard for me because this is Elementary II, so students are expected to have had one full semester of Italian already. I can't wait to try out my Italian in Italy though! (Here's looking at you Kat!)

At least my French is getting better! Having practice every day is really fun, and people are complimenting me on my French a lot, which is very encouraging. My last update for everyone is that I've started keeping a Picasa web album so that you have the option of checking out all of my pictures as well! This is the album for my trip to Nice and Monaco! So now you have the option of seeing all the beautiful things I do! Hope you enjoy all my captions :)

Ciao,
Alexa
