A Quick Succession of Busy Nothings: Study Abroad Wrap-Up By, Isaac

Well, we are back in Utah. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like we left. We are getting back on a regular schedule and going back to school. It's a lot different than home schooling. I want to thank my mom for doing such a great job home schooling and having awesome lessons. I also want to thank my dad. He would always love to hear what we had to say. He helped me with school, French and lots of other stuff. I want to thank Libby and Luke for being so nice to me even if I wasn't very nice to them. They would always be interested in what I wanted to show them.

I will have a lot of good memories of Paris. Every once in a while I will say "bonjour" or "merci." But I think one of the things I will miss the most is the students. We would always have a fun time together. On the buses, at our apartment, or at church. We spent a lot of time with them the last week and it was awesome. At night we would go to their hotel rooms and play cards.

I learned a lot on the trip too. I learned a ton about the French culture and language. I tried to practice learning French a little too. I'm really glad that I got to go to Paris. It's something I will remember for the rest of my life. -Isaac
