If you know me, you know that I am a complainer. I try not to be, but sometimes its just inevitable. September has been one of the most emotionally turbulent months of my life, mostly attributed to the lack of organization at my French University, Sciences Po...which I affectionately call Sciences Poop. From jumping through hoop after hoop to drop a class to having one of my professors email me saying "Oops sorry, I'm not in France...no class this semester", there has been one administrative fluke after another. It has really made me appreciate the quality of my University back home. My Michigan study abroad advisors have had my back after every catastrophe, sending stern emails to Sciences Po or offering me solutions to every problem. All I can say is, bless them, they deserve a million and one Zingerman's gift baskets (the really expensive ones with entire coffee cakes). So to all you folks back home in A2, please appreciate what a great school we go to and the level of commitment that the administration provides to every single one of their 40,000 students. Yeah, this sounds a little like a paid promo but it is 100% the truth. So, while I am amazed at the beauty and culture of Paris and loving the ready access to tarte au citron, here's to you mitten state. There is no place like home and I sure miss that midwestern hospitality.
