STILL NOT SO NICE IN NICE

Dear Caroline

I never thought I would get to this point on my trip, but I just want to come home. I give up on Nice. The school has no interest in helping me. When I spoke to them about my “requirements” for a host. I told them I just want what I paid for: a room in a host family, in a clean house that is 60 minutes or less away from the school. Their follow up question again was: what is more important, being close to school or that the place is clean.

I could not believe what I was hearing, with how much I paid I am expecting the bare minimum of clean and safe, then everything I was sold. They told me I can’t have both because they can’t control how people keep their homes. I was absolutely beside myself. I could not believe they actually said this to me. I just want to leave Nice I completely give up. the Toronto office gave me the option to go to Paris early which I will be doing, but the earliest I can get there is Aug 20th so I still need a place until then, I cannot afford anymore Ubers.

They say they found me a place, but I really want to go to residence, but as the days go by I’m just resigning to the fact that Nice has been a disaster. I’ve not been able to visit much because I’m always wondering where I am going to sleep next.

In other news on my walk home a baby bat, yes a bat, fell on my head and got caught in my hair…I see now why my mom doesn’t like bats.

I just need a win, I need something to lift this cloud.
