About this blog

This is a blog about me, Anne, and my time in New York. I will stay here for 6 months for doing the EF Master English Media&Art program, which I really enjoy so far. I especially love the three arts lessons which are photography, advertisement and graphic design, as they include very much practical work and deal with topics I'm highly interested in. I look forward to share my experiences and the results from the iLab lessons in this blog so that they are available to everybody including Anne-Marie, my english teacher, the only female teacher I have so far. My other teachers are Mr. Grau, Darryl and Jacob and I think we'll have a great time with them and learn a lot of useful things as they seem to be real experts in what they are doing/teaching us.
Besides the time I spend in school I live in a host family, which lives within walking distance to school but also to the shops and restaurants of the city I actually live in, called Tarrytown, being located in the north of NYC. I guess I'm really lucky to have this host family, not only because of the excellent position of the house, but I really feel ease with staying there as they are very caring and keen to make us feel as comfortable as possible. "Us" that means Olivia and me, she's a girl from Martinique who has been currently living in Paris for 2 years to do her studies which she stopped out for 1 year to improve her english skills by coming here. We get along with each other very well as we can talk and laugh a lot, but also just hang around on our beds, don't talk at all while each of us does his own stuff.  Unfortunately we're not in the same courses, but maybe this has its good side too, because like this we always have things we can talk about when we come back from school. So far so good, enjoy reading this blog about me and the probably best time of my life!
