Almost Forgot!

...one of my *favorite* French songs, which reminded me of one of my best friends. I shared it with her, she changed her Facebook name, and suddenly everyone is calling her Lola. (She thinks she is comme un garçon.) Enjoy the song!

Et bien sur, la musique!

Another reason I really want to go to France is the culture--and, of course, the music. I love French music, whether it's Erik Satie, or something a little more modern, or something kinda strange.

Learning about other cultures is something I like to do. I like music especially because, even if I can't understand everything the singer is saying, I can sing along and enjoy myself. It's something you don't need to know a lot about to have fun. Violà! Appréciez!

Pourquoi?

So I haven't written in a while, mostly because not much is happening right now. I can start filling out an application, but I can't actually do much for a few months, when AFS will be ready for me. In this post, I'll talk about why I'd like to study in France.

I decided to take French in sixth grade, and, after starting in seventh, I've managed to make it to Third Year French with Madame Staron. Despite the amount of work (and grammar!) I've had to get through, it's been very enjoyable, especially learning about the French culture. My dad took me to Paris when I was in eighth grade and it was an unforgettable experience. Even though I was only half through First Year French, I loved seeing words and knowing what they meant. I also loved seeing the sights, the people, and the food. I've always enjoyed learning about other countries and cultures. For a while, I wanted to go to Japan. However, I decided that it might be better to go halfway around the world to a language I knew a little bit about. And good chocolate. :-)
