Well last night we arrived on the train at 5:30 to Grenoble. The last 15 mins of the ride went WAY to fast we were all so nervous! Kat Gaelen and I were practically attached to each other. They are the girls in the pics by the way :) It all happened so fast we got off the train and all the host moms were already there to pick us up. I went with Anne (my host mom) and we took the Tram to the bus stop and then the bus to the block they live at in all it took only 15 mins or so to get there with luggage and in the rain. She showed me because I had to go by myself this morning to the Office of Tourism in Grenoble to meet my group because they all had to be at work. She is a really good cook we had an amazing meal both last night and tonight. Really good stuff that I like to eat lots of vegetables and fruit!! YAY! This morning I got up in my huge room and had breafast and the house all to myself because they were at school and work. My host sister did not get home until tonight though so I did not get to meet her until about 5 mins before I came down here to go to bed. I went to a cheese tasting today with the API group I am with it was fun tasting everything and learning how to eat it! After that Kat Gaelen and I went to monoprix a store like target here to get notebooks to write words we don't know down on and look up later. In my house I have started to carry around the dictionary and tonight I was watching Wheel of Fortune to help me figure stuff out I think game shows will be my new thing here lol that and soap operas- they tried to explain all the things happening in one of them and really confused me lol oh well I will get it eventually. It makes you so tired trying to think in french all the time and trying to translate in your head but I kinda don't translate anymore I just am starting to know what it means right away. My host brother likes to give me a hard time but I can do the same to him with his English which is apperantly his worst subject in school! things are soo different here but I am tired so I will write more about that tomorrow!! Bon Nuit!
