How are things? The short answer is that things are going well. We are learning at a good pace, have wonderful landlords and neighbors, and feel really great about the school we are at. The teachers are as fantastic and encouraging as they are tough, expecting everything that we cover in class to be understood and remembered by the next day. (No small feat there! Obviously we don’t always meet the expectations.)
We are waiting for our official notice from the French government to arrive telling us when to go to Grenoble to finish our health checkups so that our visa process will be complete for the year. We finally have a bank account and hopefully will have phone service in the next week or so.
We’re still getting acquainted with what is where in Albertville, but we’ve been taking advantage of nicer days and either walking or taking the local bus around town. |
