A Tiny Confession

Ok....So I haven't completely kept up with my 'resolutions' from my last blog. Due to circumstances at home, it has been difficult to find the time to focus on them. I am hoping once things settle down, I will be able to focus more on my French and Spanish studies. I am moving to Boston for the summer on Monday, so I'll be in more of a routine.

All is not lost however! I have started my French book. It is called 'Les Français' by Laurence Wiley and Jean-François Brière. It is actually a text book I nicked from my brother's room. It is written in French and it covers a lot of topics of French culture. There is even a section on 'French Hand Gestures'.

I have hit a bit of a wall with the French visa process. I.e. I have no idea how it works. It is frustrating because there is no explanation on how to complete the forms on the website. I had to email someone I know who is also going to France to clarify. It is maddening. I have finally completed most of the first section, and I am not exactly sure what I have to do next...
