Not Only Am I Going To College Next Year...

Bonjour à tous!

So I got into Tulane University today!!! Now I can at least pick between two colleges! And Tulane is in New Orleans, where there are some people who speak French... that's a plus :) and it says on their site it offers 26 different foreign languages... I'm guessing that's a typo. Because that seems like a loooot. But I did see that they offer Haitian Creole. Which is like Creole French... that would be cool to study a differnet dialect of French. And they offer Swahili. That's pretty random but I think it would be cool to study swahili.

Okay so on Saturday night, Camille (my host sister who lives in Paris) came back to Vernon and had a dinner party with some of her friends from Paris, so I had dinner with some Parisiens... who said they loved my accent! And they didn't say it like sarcastically, they didn't even say it to me but to each other. I was talking to them in French at one point and one of them turned to another and was like "her accent is too good" (they say too good in french a lot, we don't really say it in english) and the other was like "yes, I love it". That like made my life because I thought that the American accent was not one to be desired at all. And they also called me "trop mignon" at one point, which means "too cute". lol So you know that stereotype that Parisiens aren't nice and don't like Americans? Definitely not true. But then I already knew that :)

Well okay yeah that's it but I'm really happy I got into Tulane :) Now I just have to wait some more to hear back from everywhere else.

au revoir et à bientôt!
