Social Media

Wow, it has been a while since I have been on because of my extensive traveling.
Making an adjustment from American culture to the culture in France has been very difficult. To me, Facebook and Twitter have made France look like the place to be and everything is all good. As it turns out I find my self on Facebook and Twitter just so I can connect with the ones that I left behind. I feel like I am shying away from other French people because I don't fit in and they let me know everyday. Being laughed at for struggling to speak their language is just one thing that is making this an awful experience. The one thing that has made my study abroad trip worth it thus far has been traveling and that is why I am slacking on this blog. Visiting new countries and not having wifi (or as the call it wee-fee) or anyway to connect with other people has been amazing, so maybe being on Facebook everyday is hurting my cultural experience because I am still trying to live the life that I left in America.
