It's Official: I'm Going To College Next Year!

Salut à tous!
I got my first college acceptance letter yesterday from Loyola University Chicago. Even though I have to wait until like April probably to hear back from all the other colleges that I applied to, at least I know I got into one.
Hmm besides that not much else is new for the moment. There's an Irish girl at my school for one month on a short-term exchange. Apparently one of her friends is coming in like a week or two. So I talked to her yesterday in English class.
I'm now with my third host family - the Guérins. On my last day with the Ferrands we ate a Galette for the Day of Epiphany. It's like a cake/pastry thing that the French eat at the beginning of January (normally the first Sunday). They buy them at the bakery and the bakers bake a "feve" in the cake (a small pottery figure), and whoever gets the feve in their piece of galette has to wear a crown. So of course I got the feve in mine. It was a little tiger figure (as in the animal, not the golfer). Then on Sunday the Guérins had a galette, and I got the feve in my piece again. It was a fake gold token thing.
Oh yeah, really important, I FOUND FRENCH CHEESE THAT I LIKE. It's called Boursin. It's like creamy with garlic and herbs? I don't know, but it's really good. Prior to discovering Boursin, the only cheese I liked in France was gruyere. Which is like swiss cheese except not cut into slices. But Boursin is way better.
à bientot
