End of 1st week

So it's getting late, yet here I am writing to all you lovely people. I have been gone for a week now. I have had 4 days of class and now my first weekend. I'm starting to learn my way around better...like the other day I was able to find this little food shop called Chez Barnabe and that was exciting. I met my other professor that I"ll be having this month today. Her name is Isabelle, she seemed pretty nice. It's been sad not seeing Sandra and Alex much because they have different schedules than I do, but Katie and I hang out a bit which is nice. I don't have much to report. I'm falling into a routine, which I guess is nice. It has been really rainy here, raining everyday. I was able to do homework by the lake yesterday though and that was peaceful. This weekend I'm going to Chamonix with the school. It's up in the mountains so it'll be cold and snowy! It should be fun though.

There was a bit of drama today, though. Before coming here, I had to pay a $500 deposit on my housing. Then the other day I was told I had to pay 330 euro which is maybe a little more than $500. Then today I was told that that amount of money only covered the month of June. Most of you know I'm supposed to stay through July. To stay through July its another 640 euros for housing alone...another $1000. No one told me I was going to have to fork over about $1500 when I arrived here. Being a poor college student and all, I told the lady that I cannot afford that and would have to go home early if this was true. There must have been a miscommunication along the way. So now me and Alex and Sandra are trying to figure out why we were not given this information, and who dropped the ball. I talked to my dad and he sounded willing to pay the money for me, but I just feel so guilty about letting the pay so much for a months housing when they've already paid so much for me. My parents don't want me to have regrets, and want me to experience as much as possible while I'm here. Of course, I want this to. But right now it is hard for me to say what I would feel in the future about this. I've been saying all along that 2 months is too long...Tomorrow I hope to have a chat with the rents and see whats up. We're all pretty heated that no one told us about the amount we'd be paying. I guess the bottom line is I may be coming home early...but I don't know if this is what God wants.

That's the latest drama in my life...please be praying! I will keep you posted friends! I miss you all!! God bless!
