Day 2... Already better.

Ok, so today I met up with the other kids in the program. Libby is living close to me which is really nice. I think I am going to change my family because Lynda, the woman I'm living with, definitely is in the slums of Grenoble. It's weird that I am sleeping in her dqughter's room with Barbie sheets and Kenza, the daughter, is sharing the bed with her mother. She's also a smoker, which I didn't realize, and that grosses me out. I talked to the other kids today, and Libby is also slumming, but most have nice places. One guy has DSL at his house, 2 girls who are living with the same family have their own wing of the house to themselves, another boy has a pool in his backyard, and it just seems like I got kinda screwed.

Today I saw 2 French guys driving along in a brand new Renault with the bass cranked up and listening to Nelly. It was quite amusing. I also saw a guy on the train wearing a t-shirt that said I'M SHY (but I have a big dick). I bet he didn't even know what it said. On another note, it's true that the French really do smell awful. I'm in this internet café and a boy who is about 14 just sat next to me and now I can't breathe. Sick.

Some of the girls in the program from Michigan are going to Rome the weekend of June 30. I think I'm going to go with them. Tomorrow we're going to the WWII fortress on the top of this mountain in Grenoble. It should be a good time. I think that's about all I have to report for now. A demain!
