As the French phase of the Atlantis program ended, I had to prepare myself for Sweden. I have to say, the semester in Lyon was like being abroad for me: another school administration, an unknown city, and 4 month in a residence with 10 American and 6 Swedes (+ Other nationalities from Erasmus). Except the cultural chock (well, maybe a little), I shared the same situations as most of the foreign students did, and without the stipend, which made it pretty tight. Anyway, this was still a very good experience and despite of the frustrations of some of the students, I had a very good time with a group of people that I now consider as very good friends.
Nevertheless, the winter break and being back home was more than welcome and extremely necessary. I had the opportunity to enjoy good food, rest and see the family before a very long trip. It seems like I spent most of my time in administrative tasks, family meeting and presents hunting. I managed to keep in touch during the break with some of the Atlantis students which proves that we really feel an unity. Finally, these two weeks seemed two minutes and I was already re-packing the bag that I hadn't really unpacked actually. On the road again!
