Je suis arrivée!

I made it! I am still pretty amazed how smooth the whole trip was. I had a really nice guy from Pearland who sat next to me on the flight. He went to Paris all the time for work and was able to give me a lot of advice for my time here. This put me much more at ease about deboarding by myself in a foreign country! I found my group easily enough at pickup, and soon we were on our way to a little orientation. And of course, one of the 6 people in our little group is an Aggie c/o 2013, WHOOP! Not only that, one of my new roommates, Christine, was with us too. Everything seemed to work out just great :)

Next we were taken to our apartments. I LOVE IT!! I will do a whole separate post about that, hopefully with a video tour. It way exceeded my expectations, I think I'll really enjoy living her for the next month. After Christine and I dropped off our bags, we went strolling around our neighborhood looking for food. Of course, in very French fashion, everything closes around 1:00 on Sundays. We just barely made it to a little grocery to get a few things, but I just love meandering around! Looking at all the shops, cafés, and restaurants that were so close by made me excited. These will all be things I must try during the week! Maybe the fondue place will be first....

As for now, I just woke up from a much needed nap. Currently I'm trying to soak up the lifestyle by listening to some French music with the window open and birds chirping while I journal...I'm literally just missing a baret and café. Perhaps tomorrow :)

I'll be posting soon, à bientôt!
