This morning, I woke up and JUMPED out of bed - I opened my computer and opened up to my homepage, the New York Times... and there it was. The news that Barack Obama will be the president of the United States of America for the next four years. It was so cool to be discovering such big news halfway across the world.
I hopped on the 7:12 bus with my friend Alejandra and we made our way to the Franco-American Institute of Rennes. It's in the center of the city and is actually the only Franco-American Institute in France. There we met the Consulate of the United States for the West of France and heard speeches from people giving their opinions on the outcome of the election. We also watched Obama's speech streaming live from the United States. There was a small breakfast for all in attendance and we all took an American President Trivia Quiz... most of which I knew... I promise..
The rest of the day was spent running errands, and getting ready for my trip tomorrow. Off to Paris and then Ireland to meet the family. But more on that later..
Yours in Dysfunctional French,
