Miss ya'll


I just sent out the mass email about my blog tonight and I have already received a number of very nice emails, I really appreciate them. Who knew blogging could be so much fun!


In response to Bob's email about why I should not play rugby, too bad I'm doing it! I figure as long as I keep up my running, I can always just out run the girls who try to tackle me. Besides how much damage can slender French business students do anyway, besides I have been asking for a nose job since I can remember.


I have to go to bed so I can get up at a decent hour tomorrow. I thougt I would jut post random pictures from Paris each time until I figure out what I'm doing. Today's picture is my friend Molly, from Miami, and I on the metro.


Good night, sweet dreams!

My first real day of school!





Last week most of my classes were cancelled because this is France and they do this sometimes for no obvious reason. I had no promlem with this and took the oppurtunity to wander around this amazing city. Well that was last week, this week I actually have to go to class! Today I had the class, "consolidated financial statements." I like this class but am going to have to get used to the accounting jargon used in Europe.

There were about 20 of us in the class, I was the only American. The professor refers to us by where we are from so my name is Austin I sit behind Serbia, in front of Mexico, and next to China. This should be an interesting class.

After class I went to see about signing up for sports. I have decided to play rugby! Yes me, stop laughing its not that funny. It is quite popular over here and I think it will be a good way to meet other ESCP students and work on my French.


After class I went for my daily run, tonight I ran at the Jardin du Lexembourg, Well actually it was closed so I ran around the parameter!


I promise the blog will get better, I'm just not very tech savvy (yet)!
