Thoughts from Kathryn
We've all survived our first weekend in France, YAY! There are so many different things to get used to! Lydia commented on the tour of the chocolate factory, I think we all would have enjoyed it much more if we hadn't been so tired. I think we've all resigned ourselves to the fact that we're pretty much going to be exhausted for most of the trip, because there are so many things to do, and just staying warm is a task in itself.
The thing I've enjoyed the most so far is the comroderie, between the american students, us and our hosts, and just other french students. They all seem very interested in us, and even those of us who don't have the strongest French are able to communicate well with our hosts and other students who may speak very little english. We are all very similar despite the fact that we come from different cultures. It's hard to believe that our trip is almost half over already!

I'm glad that you survived ;-)
I hope you get some rest, and aren't continually exhausted. That can really suck the fun out of the trip if you're not careful.
Don't even start complaining about the trip being "almost half over." Think of the poor people who never even went :p

Sounds like you are having a great time. And, the sleep thing, it happens but this is a great moment and worth every minute so enjoy it before it ends!
