The view of Geneva from Mont Saleve in France (20 minutes away)
Lake Geneva!
Hey team!I am in Geneva, Switzerland right now perfecting my French at the University of Geneva. In the meantime, I'm humbled to be on the LMU website representing Rotary: http://www.lmu.edu/site4.aspx
Geneva is stunning and challenging. Sometimes it's nice to go far away and realize that you still have a sense of self. Makes you grateful for the people who have built you. I love the ridiculously multicultural kitchen in my dorm. We say you never know what language is going to come out of people's mouths, but you usually share one or at least half with them. If I could have one superpower, it would be the ability to master all the languages. You get to meet people where they are...
Yesterday I went to the Montreux, an hour east of Geneva to see B.B. King live at the Montreux Jazz Festival! He did a free workshop and chat with the people; it was unbelievable. It'll be one of those stories when I get old; "When I was 22 I saw B.B. King live somewhere in the middle of Switzerland with a random British friend."
Oddly enough, I'm losing my English quite quickly. I'm going to arrive in London quite the lingustic mess. Ah well, the more fun!
It's now 1:23 AM and I am exhausted from learning my reflexive verbs and stressed pronouns and visiting Genevan landmarks. Off to bed! I'll write more later, folks!

I really really really want to learn French. Can you teach me your skills in London? Warning: I am horrible with languages, even English for that matter.
