A few things I forgot to mention in the previous post

Everyone in the group is super nice and friendly!  No one is cliquey.  Also, the director of the program, Laurent, is really cool.  He's really into talking about cross-cultural differences- kind of reminds me of a certain dean of students at my high school.  Also, the housing coordinator, Aurelie, and the cultural coordinator, Anne-So, are both really helpful and funny.

So the worst part of my day yesterday was on my way home, line 9 was closed for an electrical problem.  The only metro line that gets close to my house is 9, so I had to take a taxi, which was a huge pain because everyone else had the same idea.  I had to wait 15 minutes for a cab, plus had to pay 15 Euro for the cab.  The only cool part was that the cab passed Roland Garros, the tennis center where they play the French Open.  It's very close to my house, and already people in the group are discussing trying to get tickets and have them reimbursed by Tufts (we get reimbursed for cultural activities up to 150 euros).  It's in May, so we will still be here when it happens!
