Argh

I was very disappointed with today's much anticipated presentation on activities to get involved in and how to meet French people. The only people who came to talk to us were an English-language church/youth group, an association for foreign students in Aix and two student travel agencies. I didn't come here to speak English. I didn't come here to meet other foreign students. I didn't come here to travel everywhere else. I came here to speak French, get to know French people and live in Aix. I've talked to professors, the student affairs director, full-year students and my host mom about this. No one seems to know how I can meet French students. I'm in France - how hard can this be? I guess I just haven't asked the right people yet.
