my closet, i dont think i have ever had such an EMPTY closet in my entire life!Hello everyone! The keyboards here are set up a little different so I apologize now for any mistakes!
My flight wasnt too bad. I had all three seats to lay across for the 8 hour flight. I listened to my ipod and dozed off for most of the flight. airplane food was surprisingly delicious and i had a nice glass of wine! flighing over the french countryside was straight out of a movie. there were perfectly manicured green fields and little french farm villages. i even saw some beautiful french chateu. when i went through customs the very attractive french officers mentioned my hair color differences in my visa and passport, you were right mom i should have never gone brunette.
I found my group in the airport easily, and all of my luggage made it to Paris! of course the first friend i make in the group is one of the boys in my program.... i just always seem to get along better with guys! his name is brett and he is from boston, attends school in new york. he has been taking french for 13 years so i told him he was my new best friend!

my bed is so low to the ground! of us loaded up in the first shuttle to the dorms. when we arrived at the US dorm there were 5 to 7 steps to climb before entering the building. brett went first with his one piece of luggage, and i followed thinking i could pull all three of my suitcases at once. i was wrong and procedeed to fall onto my huge suitcase and drop one of them down the stairs. everyone was concerned but i started cracking up, once they realized i thought it was funny they began to laugh at me as well. so all of us girls began an assebly line to haul all of our luggage up the stairs! i told them how surprised i was that it took this long for me to fall or trip, i thought for sure i would have face planted in the middle of the airport! they thought it was funny but i am completely serious. we then waited for our supervisor to meet us.
i unpacked my things and fell asleep. unfortunately i slept through our brief dorm meeting but later found out i wasnt the only one! i called home took a shower and then my friend

my lovely window with a view marrisa and i hoped on the bus system to find a càfe. we had a chocolate and coconut crépe for dinner and forgot our dictionaries, so really had no idea what was on the menu. luckily our waiter spoke spanish and so does marrisa so we were pretty lucky. we decided to walk home from the cafe and look at shops. we stopped for some water, and every french guy said hello to us. i couldnt help but say hello back! marrisa kept telling me to stop making eye contact with them, i will have to work on that!
au revoir for now!

well, your room looks neat and clean so far and just enough space for all the things you took on your 5 week visit Just remember, only do those things you would if I were standing behind you.
