Back in the US!

I got back on Saturday night around 9pm (aka 3am France time), after hours and hours and hoursssss of traveling. I broke my record of longest time ever stayed awake (is that even grammatically correct?) with 24 hours! For most college students, this is hardly an impressive feat and had been accomplished freshman year... but not for me.

I've only been back for 5 days, but I've already hit up all the important places around here... namely, Wegman's. Twice. And Target. Four times. Oh, so pathetic.


Heaven.

I do miss France, though. I miss the French people I met, the other international students, and the students in my program. I also... really miss speaking French. I didn't really feel the same after leaving the DR, maybe because I spent most of holiday break prepping my French... but I really do. I've Facebook chatted a bit in French since I got back, but I haven't spoken at all. It's crazy going from speaking French 80% of them time to... nothing. And even just thinking about next year... I'm taking one class that's taught in French- Advanced French Convo- and it's for one hour, twice a week. Not even nearly enough.

I know Pitt's got a weekly French convo table... hour... café... something... and there's a Spanish one too. I've spent this whole year improving my Spanish and French, but if I don't practice it was pretty much all for naught (whoabigword). So pretty much, if anyone is looking for a Spanish or French language tutor... or even just someone to speak with! I wish there were greater Dominican and/or French populations in Pittsburgh...

Anyway, I can't really think of anything else I could possibly blog about in this blog, considering I'm back and not going anywhere for as long as I know... but thanks to everyone who has been reading this and dealing with my endless and sometimes nonsensical ranting! I plan to put together another blog or SOMEthing to provide me with a way to procrastinate...
