Exactly three weeks ago today I arrived in Grenoble for the first time, and I feel like I've already settled in, and found my niche. I no longer have a super death clutch on my bag while riding the tram, seeing French people carrying baguettes is no longer funny to me (for the most part....), and I have actually done things solo (ALL my OWU friends know that I literally cannot even run to the Thompson store by myself, much less risk any potential embarrassment going to a cafe alone and ordering a drink in french -- all which I did while writing this!). 


          All in all, I'm relatively proud of myself at the moment, and had to share it.


          I feel comfortable in my home, I feel comfortable at campus, I feel comfortable walking around centre ville. I have probably said a million times that I live here, I live here!!!!!, I LIVE here, or I.... live.... here...., but never simply that I live here. But now I will.


          I live here.




Heureusement,
ming.
