Back to Reality

Well, here we are. 1 week post grad and 1.5 weeks post abroad. I am glad to be home, but miss my host family and my sweet boys at RMSI. This experience was more than I can could have ever imagined and I loved every moment of it. I do wish the flights home were better planned, because we almost missed our flight in Miami due to lack of time. I am glad to be home, but already planning to visit again next year. My host family is also planning for me to come back! My host mom even facetimed me on graduation morning to tell me how proud she was! I was blessed with this experience and would encourage anyone to do it.

We spent our last weekend in Paris, which was just as amazing as I thought it would be, but MUCH more EXHAUSTING. We walked nearly 15 miles in 2 days. We saw all the landmarks we wanted, got into a few museums FREE (protip), and ended with the most magical place on earth, Disneyland! The experience within the school here has been so wonderful and positive. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in RMSI. The teachers are treated very well here, and are highly appreciated by most. I wouldn't mind the schedule they have here! We have school from 9am-4:45pm. While that sounds like a long day it is not. From a teaching perspective, it is a great day! Today, for example, I have 2-45 minute classes, a 30 minute breakfast break (COFFEE PLEASE) and then
