This week has been a flurry of activity! But an update is in order!
Brussels is beautiful! Even though it rains like crazy with little notice. I learned my lesson today about umbrellas - bring them. I'm very excited to get to know this city slowly and gently, finding out its quirks and charms.
I have never wanted to write more than I did when I was in the center of the city today. The atmosphere would easily fuel poetic observances and thoughtful prose. And I'm crazy excited to really learn French now that I hear people all around me speaking it. A few remnants of my 111 class in the spring have started to surface as I've been here, and I'm starting to gather some basic sentences, but I know that learning here will help immensely.
I'm not sure how crazy I am about the night scene, though. I went out tonight to downtown with my roommates, and I was not really all that comfortable with the bars and crowds and atmosphere. I think that a comfortable going out would be a local place, taking in a drink, and just being out. Nothing fancy. I was just too anxious about the whole thing to enjoy it properly - mostly about the whole getting back in one piece bit.
That's about it - my love to everybody!
