I'm moving... somewhere... at some point...

I don't have time for a full post today, but here's what's going on with my housing situation. Gradually over the past week, Mme T has become less and less welcoming and friendly. And when I took a tour of La Faculté the other day, I realized it actually is a 40-minute walk from her apartment. Moreover, when our program director heard that Mme doesn't let us use her washing machine and doesn't have Internet, she was really upset. So I'm now in the process of looking for a new homestay that'll be closer to the Fac, have Internet, and hopefully a friendlier host. The program has already found Dan a new place to live which is closer to town, school, and has an overall better situation.

The full story is that our program, APA, was cautious about having students stay with Mme T but had to because it was close to the housing deadline and without her, they wouldn't have enough homestays this year. Mme T has had exchange students before, but always girls from a different program - that presumably has vastly different standards!

So along with the stress/hassle of picking classes this week, I have this housing to worry about. But ultimately, I'm here for six months, and I want to live somewhere I'll be happy. Tomorrow morning I'll go to see the apartment of Mme G and take things from there!
