An Introduction

My town is on top of a hill, surrounded by fortified walls for keeping peasants and barbarians out. I live in Hogwarts and I ride a roller coaster home from the train station (see pictures below).

There are 6 other language assistants in my town; 3 Americans, 1 Brit, 1 German, and 1 Mexican. I live with Lindsay (Blue coat), who is from Denver and just finished doing a stint in West Africa with Peace Corps. We also share a hall with Kate (red jacket), the Brit, who likes the "cheese room" and cooks delicious meals miraculously in our tiny kitchenettes. Paul (you guessed it, the boy) went to Georgetown, promises to get drunk and sing Karaoke, and has a birthday coming up. Iris, la mexicaine, studied biology and is a freakishly good offensive foosball player. The German remains an enigma. Finally, there's Brie, from Philly, who gave us all the crucial insider type that there's free wifi at Mcdonalds. Thus begins our French blog, in the Macdo.
