It's crêpe to meet you (oh good gosh)

Helloooooo World! It's been a long time since I've posted on here as I've been rather preoccupied with you know, school and the whole I live in France thing haha. So let's get started!

(This will probably be how I set the rest of my posts up)

School:
Soooo, as you all know, I had some problems with school. I'm not going to go in to great detail about it, so if you know the whole situation, you understand. Here's the jist of it:
-I was in première S from the beginning of school until Thursday
-At the beginning things were ok, but I didn't feel like I belonged
-Things happened
-I went to Marseille where I met some of the greatest people ever who made me feel like I belonged
-Two weeks later I changed to L (with the help of my host mother and principle teacher) where I am now with my new friends and teachers

I honestly do not regret changing (sorry people from S). I finally understand what all is going on and now even take notes in class because I just, understand. The people in L are more accepting and the teachers understand why I'm here and help me when help is needed.

Life:

Life is going pretty well. I've started travelling places and was even invited to England with school! There's also an invitation from The Netherlands to come present at one or two Rotary clubs and I REALLY would love to go to serve as an ambassador to the US teaching our culture and whatnot in more than just one country! :D My mother has been such a big help over the last few weeks and I honestly don't know what I would do without her. Véronique, si tu lis ceci, merci beaucoup pour tout! She does so much for me and just, I can't even begin to describe how thankful I am for her. I have made a lot of new friends and they've (as i've said) make me feel like I belong. They help me out with school and fix my mistakes in French when I make them (which is a lot haha), so, guys, if you all are reading this, thank you for everything as well! Life in France is everything I could have dreamed of. I'm STILL discovering new places in the city (like I did today at Le Vogue and all over the Croix-Rousse) and having new doors open all the time creating new opportunities for me to travel, or to grow as a person.

I think that's about it because I realized that none of this is probably making sense, like I said, the whole english thing is going. This may look like I have my stuff together but my computer says 'that isn't right, are you sure you actually know this language?'. Oh well, I REGRET NOTHING!

Au Revoir
Andrew
