Things I've Learned about France . . .

Wow does time move fast. I had the idea to film this video one month into my study abroad experience. I filmed this video two months into my study abroad experience. And now I'm sitting here, uploading the video, three months into my study abroad experience. I only have one month left!!! When did that happen? In this video, I break down some of the noticings I had after living in France for a while. Some of these are very oddly specific (how much water is in the toilets), and some are very general (meal time). I had to cut out so many of my bullet points for time purposes, but I will be making a blog post of my entire list at the end of my program. I hope you enjoy the video, thanks for sticking with me! More to come :)
