• back from paris! i still am trying to deny the fact that i’m not there with all of the awesome people i met! i will never forget any of you and i hope that we will keep in touch…pluss they’re all coming to france next summer!

  
  

  this program was execellent! my class was good and we went to interesting museums every day! i love the musee d’orsay! being in paris was great…there were always a ton of things to do and see….the activities were good too: swing dancing/bal de pompiers/hammam/last-nite boat dance….

  
  

  the people were the ones who made the place so special…I LOVE YOU 6th FLOOR!! + STEF (you basically lived on the 6th floor ) + LAURA + CHRISTIE 

  
  

  i love how all of my close friends were near me…it was great!

  
  

  the people:

  
  

  although i didnt have a roomate in my room, i had NOVI, one of the nicest people in the whole world, in the room next to me so we always talked through the window!!! she is so calm and nice and sweet and funny and PERFECT!!! always had good advice!

  
  

   MARIE right across from moi….the best dancer and the person with the nicest smile! always cheery and optimistic!! i’ll always remember sitting in a tree with her while watching the tour de france and of course….reading harry potter 6!

  
  

  ELLIE also was across from me and she was so sweet! always nice and eager to see a lot of things in paris! she’s the person who is nice to everyone!! i loved your mask/make up for the last dance!!

  
  

  JO was SO FUNNY!!! she is person who made everyone laugh with her expressions and with just being her independent self! one day all of the covers of the national geographic will have her photos on them!! she’s super talented in music/french/dancing/photography/design/EVERYTHING!

  
  

  JENNIE was so cute and lived down the hall. she too was always smiling (well maybe not when nancy the freek gave her study hall for no reason!!!!) and was a great person to do things with….lol SWING DANCING!! im gonna go and see her in canada and she will come and boogie with moi in provence!

  
  

  CHRISTIE was funny and burpie (lol) even we didnt go out as much during the program, she still was friends with me the entire time! when together we had sooo much fun….eg: underwear on head! she was there the 1st night and the last night! you rock and so does john lennon!

  
  

  LAURA was a very sweet person and i hope that she is happy to  be home! () she was my friend from class and i saw here every morning from 9 to 12:30! she reminds me a bit of me and i hope that the next time we meet she will be happier! that is why YOU come to france next summer….or else i will come to vancouver and find you! i’ll miss you!

  
  

  and….of course….

  
  

  STEF! well….she needs no intro! i’ve known this bunny for 4 years and she just cracks me up! she’s also very determined and hard working….one day she’ll be in best doctor in hong kong! we have so many memories i cant even count them! till next year!!!!!

  
  

  the last day of the program was difficult…tears and hugs sums it up in 2 words!
