Goals

I have a few goals for my 4 months in France

1.) Learn as much French as humanly possible. The whole purpose of my semester is to learn. I'm taking all French classes and going to try to speak as little English as possible.
2.) Experience the culture without limitations. Sometimes I'm inhibited at home and don't like to try new things. I'm willing to try various foods, wines, places etc.
3.) Start running. I actually kinda stole this idea from Chris, but it was also a suggestion with OSA. I'll be able to see more of the city and my surroundings, but also get healthier and fit.
4.) Travel!!!!! I'm in Europe! I'm really hoping to go up to England and see London and the countryside there. Also to Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, and Italy just to name a few. Everything is so close and only a train ride away. But I also want to explore France. Maybe go down to St. Etienne where I did my homestays and see Coline and her family.
5.) Make some new friends. I'm gonna be at an international language institute!!! I really hope to make friends outside of the U.S.

If I accomplish these my trip will be successful. And I know I will.

Love to all
