Aix, ça peut-être vrai ?
In a week and a half I will be departing to the beautiful southern region of France. It has been my dream to go live in France since middle school, and now that I have been given the opportunity to do so, I am more excited than ever! I went to Europe last summer, so most of the safety tips are still fresh in my head. I think this will be a great opportunity to practice my French and learn more about the French culture first-hand. This is so exciting! I am looking forward to taking classes with my university professors, since both of the classes I am taking are being taught by professors from USF, the university I attend here in the states. I know these classes will not be a breeze, but I do not expect them to be. I think it will be great to learn about European culture and society while I am in Europe. I am also looking forward to living with a French family. I will not be speaking English to them since I don’t want them to speak English to me; therefore, from the moment I first see them, to our last goodbye, I will be communicating with them strictly in French. Additionally, I look forward to the food they will be providing. I love food, so the fact that I will be cooked traditional French food is such an exciting thing to look forward to.
There are some renown sites in Aix that I am stoked to see. First off, there is the City of Books library. The outside looks like three books stalked on a book shelf—the famous Le Petit Prince, and Camus’ L’etranger. I can’t wait to take a picture right in front of it! Secondly, there is Cours Mirabeau, which is supposedly “Europe’s most captivating street”. In my future blogs I hope to be able to upload pictures so that you are able to feel with me the great essence of Aix, and see France’s beautiful Provence region.
Until next time!
