I'm doing quite well. . . not at all a rocky start. Miraculously, everything went well with the plane rides. All of my luggage arrived.
Yesterday, I was thinking about switching to live in the dorms for the whole years because more people than I thought were doing it, and it would be less expensive.
But then I moved in. The dorms are gross. I kinda have a phobia of dirty bathrooms. . . I just wanted to cry when I was how disgusting they were.
I'm happy to say that my friend Seth and I are moving into an apartment tomorrow. It's quite the catch. Get this, it's not very expensive, especially considering that all of the utilities are included, we have a nice kitchen equipped with oven, stove, plates, etc., there's a terrace outside where we can eat, a view of a nice courtyard, dishwasher (hell yes!), and even a small washing machine (ok, so basically I don't know if I can fit more than one pair of jeans in at a time, but still!). I'll upload photos soon--we just got access to the internet a few hours ago. The program has given us a year's subscription to the internet café here, so I'll probably come once a day to check up on everything and make sure the internet is still working.
On Monday, our classes start. We took a test today for the placement (this is an intensive French language class just for the people in our program that is 3-4 hours every day for three weeks.
So I know this post wasn't entirely entertaining. I try to be funny when I can. . . but I can't right now. Sleepy. Jetlag. Brain just not functioning. But at least you know I'm alive.
French word of the day:
le décalage = jetlag
À cause du décalage, ma cervelle ne fonctionne pas.
p.s. I LOVE AIX. Cassis and beach Sunday.
