France, France, France.

I've arrived in France. Goodness, there's so much I would like to say, but I don't know where to start. Or to end. Or what to put in the middle, for that matter. Brief synopsis.

I traveled all Thursday and most of Friday (what seemed like Friday. It was Friday in France, but not at home). I got on my plane at 11:13 on Thursday in Indianapolis. The ride was brief, but I met two girls in my program that were also on my flight. That was cool. We landed in Minneapolis, where it was snowing of course. 3 hours later, we left for Paris! The flight was long, but I managed to catch some sleep. I loved it when we landed in Paris! I was so excited, and it was so exhilarating to be back! I've missed this place, and I was so thankful to God that He's allowed me to come back.

The 3.5 hour layover in Paris was a killer, though. I nodded off and few times but not enough to really help. However, I slept the whole way to Montpellier (only an hour). I felt bad, because the cutest old French man ever was sitting by me trying to talk to me. I couldn't keep my eyes open though. Oh well. I missed the free beverage. We're even.

So I get to Montpellier and take a cab to the hotel. Then I have nothing to do the rest of the evening. Mind you, it's 12:30PM in France. I could sleep, because I'm exhausted. But instead, I lay on my couch like a zombie for THREE HOURS. Not moving. Or sleeping. Oops. Then I took a super long shower. Mostly because I didn't want to move at all. Standing like a zombie is like sleeping, no? My roommate, Ashley, and I went out to dinner after walking around Montpellier for a while. That was fun. But not nearly as fun as going to Jeanette, Stephanie, and Katy's apartment for a movie night! The 3 ladies were there, as were Beth and Scott. And Nastassia! I met her this summer and have been looking forward to seeing her ever since!

Saturday I toured the city though I wasn't shown anything new. Which was fine, of course. Then, I moved into my apartment. Lugging my luggage (weird words to use together; I'm not changing it) across the city (or only 5 blocks or so) by myself was not fun. But I'm here and living life now. I went to bed early Saturday, but Sunday I went to church and saw some old friend. I also met two new ones. I then spent the afternoon with Jeanette, Stephanie, and Katy again. It was lovely to just sit and eat lunch and talk. I'm so blessed by those ladies :)

Tomorrow is orientation and placement tests. Though I have all afternoon free so I'm going to English club! I can't wait to see more of my friends! I am missing my friends friends at school, though. However, we will be reunited soon. Time to eat Nutella.

Love.
