Une Semaine

Salut!

Okay, less than a week until I leave, so here's the run-down of my year in France. I will be living in a small town in the south of France called Boissieres. My town has about 500 people living in it, but the nearby city, Nîmes, where I will be going to school, has 150,000 people living in it. I will be living with Philippe and Laurence Mialet and their children Marine (16,f), Axel (14,m), and Caroline (11,f). They have a six-bedroom house and a swimming pool!
I'll be attending school at the Lycée Albert Camus, where I will take math, physics (grrr), French, English, Spanish, geography, science, and gym. School starts at 8 AM every day and doesn't end until 6 PM! However, I get a two-hour break for lunch and I don't have school on Wednesday afternoons.
The city of Nîmes is famous for its amazing aqueduct and amphitheater, its history of religious violence, and the seasonal bullfights!
I'm so excited to start my year in France also still very nervous! Thanks for reading all the way through if you've made it this far, and I'll be sure to post with another update soon.
