Here's the house...

Things are going well here:) yesterday we swam at Olympe's friend's house and made Belgian waffles that were amazing. Today we just did some watercolors and had petit déjeuner. I'm sad to leave on Saturday but we're taking a train to Catherine's sister's home in southern France. We're not going to Paris so I'm a little bummed but it will let me experience Lille even more!:) I'm learning some French but I'm still horrible. Olympe is a great teacher so I know some words but not enough to understand real live conversations.. The fourth of July is going to be very sad for me not being in the states but I that's ok I always have next year and France is amazing anyway!! :D  Au bientot!





So beautiful right?

First day of college

Man, the first day was amazing! I don't have class until 9:30, then I walked over (super easy, short walk) and found my modern class easily. We went over questions and syllabus today so no dancing.

The two teachers said "okay, we have some people we want to move up to Tech 3 right now...Golda..." I was so happy!

I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...

At The Car Wash

Registering my car has been quite the ordeal. I have class until 5 every day and rehearsals Tuesday and Thursday, so finding a time has not been easy. One of my rehearsals was canceled today, so I drove to an auto-mechanic to update my registration. I knew I could get Safety and Emissions done, but thought they could also register my car. Nope! I have to go to the DMV. Then my car was failed, not because of the fact that the rear-view mirror is cracked (I bumped it in my apartment garage on a pillar-not my finest moment) but because there is a smaller circular mirror in the corner of it. It seemed like a tiny adjustment to me and couldn't believe they couldn't repair it right then at the mechanic! But it's fine-plus the owner gave me a free car-wash! Not just any car wash, "The BEST Carwash". It was $9. So I pull into the car-wash and jets start spraying all over and I can't see through the window from all the soapy water. And I'm like this is so cool! I ...
