Blogging with Becky

Hello everyone!

This is supposed to be an introduction post but, to be honest, I am not quite sure how to introduce myself to you. The generic info would be that I am a double major in Creative Writing and Psychology, 5'8'', a rising sophomore at the illustrious WKU and this is my first experience in the European world (and let me tell you, it is awesome!). Past the generic, I suppose you should know a bit more about my quirky personality.

I get excited over the simple things. Such as the handknit socks sold in a quaint shop here in Gryon. Or the confidence I gain everyday in speaking French (a language I am slowly learning and am continually butchering the pronunciation of). Today, I mastered oú est (where is?). I was very proud.

My camera has been in constant use since our arrival, the result of which I hope to share soon when I get to upload pictures. I have never been in a more inspiring environment. The Alps are...everything. Beautiful and impossible, breathtaking (literally, my asthma kicks in heavily here) and words cannot give the mountains proper justice, but hopefully with my pictures you can get a glimpse of what we are experiencing everyday here. This is only my second day and already I am contemplating moving here with the mountains surrounding me. And the goats.

I'll try to blog as much as possible, I promise, but the internet is a bit unpredictable. So Mom, don't fret if you don't get an email from me. I'm alive, I swear. Switzerland is perfect for a writer. Inspiration is abundant and my words be a flowin'. Perhaps, I should move here simply for writing's sake :)

I hope everyone enjoys reading what I have to say, or at least stalking my pictures. Wish all I love could be here with me.

A bientot! (Till next time!)

Becky

P.S.

They weren't lying. Swiss cheese and chocolate is insanely delicious and therefore addicting.
