ABOUT ME

so i'm a student at the Université Lumière Lyon 2 in Lyon, France who's studing Medieval French Literature. i moved to France on a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship, and i'm set to stay there until June 2008.
i love most things artistic, i am artistic, and i'm very easy-going. a few words to describe me: open, creative, loving, smiley, patient, and i think that my friends would agree to say i'm nice ;) i'm very close to my family and my friends, and right now while i'm here in France i miss them something awful.

i saw Strasbourg's Christmas markets;
i've seen most of the castles of the Loire valley;
i rode the London Eye, seeing a panoramic view of London's nightlife;
