During my junior year of high school, I studied abroad in Rennes, France with a program called School Year Abroad. While I was there, I kept a blog, where I detailed my gripes about culture shock, my struggles with losing my accent, my autumn runs along the canals, and a host of other things. You can still read it here.
You can also seem some of the photos I took with my (cringe) iPhone 4S on my Flickr. What a 2013 sentence.
