Ciao ciao, blogspot! Summer is finally here! It's crazy to think that on Monday, it's June. Holy crap. Where has time gone? Spring never really was here, it kind of went straight from winter to summer... that may have something to do with it.
Everything here is great. Since the last post, I've been to Rome twice and loved it both times. I was also in Milano, and made a trip up to Freiburg, Germany as well! It's so nice being able to get to Italy so quickly. It is definitely one of my most favorite places in the world, no matter where I am in that country. Someday I'd like to learn a bit of the language, but I have to work on my French first!
Anyway, I don't have a whole lot to say here... so I'll make what I do have to say short and sweet.
I found an apartment to rent in Paris! It's a really cute little (and I mean little) studio in the 11th arrondissement (district) and it's literally a three-minute walk away from my school. I move in on September 1st and I couldn't be more excited! I can't wait until that day comes.
I leave to go back to the states on July 13th... which is a little sad. I mean, I'm going to love being back where everything is relatively familiar, with my family and friends and bike, in a place where Mexican food exists as well as huge bookstores full of English books... but I'm really going to miss my little niche in Switzerland. It's such an interesting and dynamic country (not to mention absolutely beautiful) and I'm going to be sad to say goodbye. But, so it goes.
Recently the Migros has started selling peaches, nectarines, and apricots from Spain and Italy and I'm real happy about that. They are so delicious. I love this time of year! So many fruits and veggies, it's fantastic!
That's about all I have to say... stay classy, internet. Until next time!
