Host Family Update!

Thanks to Facebook, I've been able to talk to all of the other 59 students who are going to France with me! Not only that, but students who went to Rennes last year are on the Facebook group too, giving advice, telling us about their host families, seeing who has their host family this year. It's been so helpful. I never expected to talk to the student who had my host family last year. It just never crossed my mind, but when the 1 in my message box popped up and I read "I had your host family last year!" I was so excited, and so relieved.

So what have I learned about my host family that I didn't know before?
Well, firstly, I have the jackpot family. They're called this for two reasons: 1. They live in the perfect location - the center of Rennes! They have easy access to everything, and they are right across from Parliament Square, where there will be different events all of the time. 2. The second reason why they're the jackpot family is because of the kids. Kids?! What? I thought I didn't have any host siblings! Well, it turns out, not only do I have host siblings, I have 5. That's right, 5! For those who don't know me, I only have one sister, so an addition 4 siblings will be quite the change.

I am so excited to move to France. I leave in 5 days! I've been packing and shopping and freaking out, and I can't believe that the day is finally coming. For those who would like to write to me, my address will be:
