Life is good in Michigan

Yep life is good… a bit chilly so far but damn good. Ann Arbor is a bit like Corvallis, bigger though. Everybody’s nice but talking waaaaayyyy faster than on the West Coast. I’m sharing a house with a girl from Montreal and a French guy. It’s funny to think that I have to come all the way from France to finally live with French/French Canadian native speakers ! The room I have here is in the attic (again !) but three times bigger than the one I had in Strasbourg. I really appreciate having 3 meters between my desk and my bed ;) And I can see the stars from my bed. I love it. Everything is just so quiet. No garbage collector at 5 in the morning anymore, no horn all day long… just the birds to wake you up ;)
My internship is going well, besides the fact that both my advisors in France and here are gone! I’m home at 7:30pm every evening, which for me is a significant change! No late evening at school anymore. I have to take it easy this summer.
Finally, it’s nice to receive news from classmates scattered all over the world. Between Rocky and his jumping spiders in Maryland, the guys is Texas cruising around with their Buick, Ramon drooling over his JPL badge and our Italians trying to differentiate milk from orange juice in Japan, I’m having a lot of fun ;)
And in a few weeks I’ll be back in Oregon for graduation. It’s going to be the first time I attend one of my graduation ceremonies. I finally managed to be in the right country at the right time ;)
