France, here I come!

This week I received my acceptance package from France in the mail! I found out that I'm going to Morteau, a little town in the Jura, a mountain range just north of the Alps. Apparently it has a little under 7000 people and a whole bunch of hiking and cross-country skiing trails nearby. The school is called Lycee E Faure, and it's a technical high school where kids go to learn clock-making, jewel-cutting, factory tech, jewelry-making and more, which sounds pretty cool. I've sent an e-mail to the head teacher of English that I'll be working with, asking her about the town and the school. I'm excited to hear back!
