Superbowl comes to France!

I was very exited when I found out that I could watch the Superbowl on a local channel here. So on my first night with my new French family my sister, Josephine (17 y/o) ,and I watched the Colts successfully become Superbowl champs (finally!). It was an amazing game and I am glad I got to watch, despite the fact all the turn overs almost gave me an early heart attack. It did make me a little homesick though to hear how excited everyone was back home when they won and also to hear on the French news how crazy Indianapolis went when they won, but at least I got to see the game period. Josephine got to learn a little about American culture too so that was good.

Tonight I had dinner with all 7 kids for the first time and Marie (my French mom). It was so fun, even a circus at times, but I felt they made me feel very welcome and were open armed which was nice. They laughed at me because I said I'm full, but nobody says this in France since it means I'm pregnant too I guess...hahahah aren't moments of linguistic understanding like this wonderful?? Marie baked a very good and very typical French spinich and feta tart and an apple suffle from scrtach for all 8 of after she came home from work. I don't know how the woman does it!!

Alright classes have started this week so I need to keep this short and get some rest. My classes are going well and are intersting. My contemporary French politics class is really interesting especially since big elections are coming up for the country in May. Hope all is well back home in the States and you are enjoying my blog so far :) I will keep recording my daily activities to a minimum from now on and focus more about aspects of France. D'accord, au revoir pour maintenant!
