Time for a European Break

Hey everyone. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been in Strasbourg for nearly two months now. My classes have been great thus far this semester. I’m taking two English literature courses (one American, one British), a course on the history of the Alsace region, and finally a course on the early Christian church in addition to language classes twice a week. I’ve mainly been finding it interesting to compare how English literature classes are taught here versus back home. I also managed to work out my schedule this semester where I only have class Tuesday through Thursday, which is very ideal for traveling.

Just for your general knowledge, here are some things that I’ve realized/figured out since I last blogged include: in France it gets colder way quicker in the fall, the French word for “seal” sounds very similar to a particular American curse word, and I finally found a place where I can print my documents! Yay!

I know that back at HC October break just ended but here mine actually just began and I am so excited to tell you all about my plans. For the first part of the break, I’m going to Amsterdam with my friend Caroline from Holy Cross who is coming from Italy. After a few days there, I am taking a flight to London to stay with my friend Megan at Oxford for a couple days and then we are going to head into the big city for the weekend to celebrate my 21^st birthday and Halloween! I’m so pumped to be able to spend my break seeing a few of Europe’s greatest cities.

I will be sure to blog about all of my travels when I return, as I plan on leaving my laptop here in Strasbourg. Until then, au revoir et bonne journée/soirée!
